"    Ahh, summer. Warm temperatures, outdoor activities and carefree attitudes. The season is great in so many ways\u2014except when it comes to the sweat, shine and runny makeup that plague our faces. Here, beauty expert Samantha Chapman spills her secrets to looking flawless despite the heat. 1. Apply primer. &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s a difference between glowing and sweating, and the key is a good primer,&amp;quot; says Samantha. Use it on both face and eyelids to keep foundation and eye shadow from becoming a hot mess. For your face, try Laura Mercier Foundation Primer ($30, at LauraMercier.com), or for eyelids, Urban Decay&amp;#039;s Eye Shadow Primer Potion ($19, UrbanDecay.com) is your best bet.    2. Choose products made for your skin type. Opt for a powder foundation if you have oily skin and always use an oil-free moisturizer first to help prevent caking. For normal skin, go for a cream foundation. &amp;quot;Cream products look much more like real skin,&amp;quot; Samantha says. &amp;quot;It makes your skin look dewy, fresh and healthy when the sun shines.&amp;quot; Also, keep SPF in mind when choosing moisturizers and foundations; during summer months, choose a product that contains at least SPF 15 for added protection. 3. Use the right tools. Samantha recommends using brushes to apply your moisturizer, primer and foundation. This helps to more effectively work the product into your skin and creates a more natural look (Translation: Less streaky foundation). Her picks include Real Techniques Stippling Brush ($9.99, Ulta.com) and Buffing Brush ($15.99, Ulta.com). Use the brushes to apply products in a circular motion to keep makeup in place all day.       4. Pick your coverage. Unless you&amp;#039;re into greasy, cakey-looking makeup, steer clear of thick, heavy foundations. If you need extra coverage, Samantha recommends a light-textured (but heavily pigmented) product like Chanel Pro Lumiere ($54, Chanel.com) to even out skin without looking like a mask. If you don&amp;#039;t require a lot of help in the complexion department, a tinted moisturizer is all you need to look more polished. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s an absolute winner,&amp;quot; says Samantha.
