June has practically just started and I'm already starting to feel it get real HOT. Sure, I like summer but that doesn't mean I have to like the epic sweat battle that comes with it. It's hard enough to keep sane. Nonetheless, I get my makeup to stay put during the sweltering temperatures.

BB Cream
Step away from the liquid foundation and opt for something light-weight and oil-free, like Maybelline Dream Pure BB 8-in-1 Skin Clearing Perfector ($8). It works like a second skin and doesn't clog pores like most formulas do. Oh, and don't worry about breakouts. This blemish-banisher contains salicylic acid to help keep your skin clear all summer long!
Concealer
Just because it's hot out, doesn't mean you should be rocking dark circles and manchas. Cover them with NYX Cosmetics Incredible Waterproof Concealer Stick ($5). It hides all those pesky imperfections and stays put for hours!
Eyeshadow
Nothing irritates me more than when my eyeshadow settles into my eyelid crease and fades. That's why I love Maybelline Eyestudio Color Tattoo 24 HR Eyeshadow ($8). It stays on no matter how hot and sticky you are!
Mascara
On a sweaty day, try CoverGirl Flamed Out Water Resistant Mascara ($7). It promises to give you longer, thicker and fuller lashes and stands up to smudges and smears like there's no tomorrow. I will warn you though, you need a good oil-based makeup remover to get this off!
Blotting sheets
I don't leave my house on a hot, summer day without my Neutrogena Deep Clean Long-Last Shine Control Blotting Sheets ($7). It leaves your skin feeling fresh without interfering with your makeup. I love the nice, matte finish, too!
Eyeliner
Unless you're planning on rocking raccoon eyes, I suggest you try Tarte Skinny SmoldersEYES Amazonian Clay Waterproof Eyeliner ($10). This creamy, soft formula is smudge and water-proof. Trust me, nothing can make this baby budge!
Blush
Maybelline's Face Studio Master Glaze Glisten Blush Stick ($8) won't smudge no matter how hot and humid the weather is. Want a nice summery glow? Try it in the Coral Sheen shade.
