While most of us have already transitioned from cold weather clothes to easy-breezy summer frocks, few of us have thought to switch up our beauty products. Let me warn you, chica, that as the temperatures soars those heavy moisturizers will suffocate your skin and those liquid foundations (along with everything else in your makeup bag) will streak and smudge once they hit your face. So unless you want to look like one big sweaty mess, you might want to start melt-proofing your beauty routine!

No one says you have to skip out on makeup all together, you just have to find the right products for your face. Think water-resistant beauty goodies that will keep you feeling cool but looking hot throughout the season. Here are seven no-melt beauty finds every Latina should have this summer

Change your moisturizer
Heavy creams might cut it during the winter, but summertime calls for something lighter. Try Olay Fresh Effects Dew Over! Hydrating Gel Moisturizer ($15). This oil-free, formula keeps skin moisturized and refreshed without clogging pores or making you look too shiny.
Put away your liquid foundation
Regular liquid foundations can turn into a sweaty, smudgy mess when it's hot out. But BareMinerals BareSkin Pure Brightening Serum ($28) is even lighter than a tinted moisturizer or BB cream–if you can imagine that! This ultra thin formula is like a liquid mineral foundation and tone-correcting skincare serum in one. I guarantee you've never tried anything like it before!
Waterproof your eyeliner
I usually try to avoid using liquid eyeliners during the summertime, but the Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner ($23) seems to hold up even on the hottest, most humid days ever. You can even wear this waterproof baby to the beach!
Stain your cheeks
Lose the powder blushes and try Yves Saint Laurent Baby Doll Kiss & Blush Lips & Cheeks ($40). The color stays on no matter what!
Pick up a melt-proof lipstick
When it's hot out, most glosses just get sticky while lipstick formulas get all melted and nasty. That's why I love the bright, long-wearing color that comes from Too Faced Melted Liquified Long Wear Lipstick ($21). It glides right on and doesn't budge for hours.
Hydrate your face
Need a quick refresher? Try Laura Mercier Flawless Skin Perfecting Water Moisture Mist ($38). It's the perfect pick-me-up for dry, dehydrated skin but doesn't leave skin oily or shiny. This is all you need on a hot, humid day.
Change your eyeshadow
I try to stay away from eyeshadows during the warmer months, but Josie Maran Coconut Watercolor Eye Shadow ($18) is infused with fresh coconut water and argan oil that provides a hydrating color to your lids, perfect for summer. It comes in a range of pretty tropical colors too!
