" If there&amp;#x27;s a wedding on your calendar for the coming weeks&amp;amp;#8212;and especially if it&amp;#x27;s your own&amp;amp;#8212;I&amp;#x27;m sure you&amp;#x27;re already sweatin&amp;#x27; how the summer heat is going to play into your makeup strategy for the big day. (How&amp;#x27;s a girl supposed to conceal those blemishes when the makeup&amp;#x27;s going to melt right off after an hour of under-tent dancing?) Just in the nick of time, I got some fabulous tips from celebrity makeup artist Matin about how to keep your skin looking great without going greasy or overly made-up/matte. 1. Start with a mattifying moisturizer &amp;amp;#8220;The best way to combat super-shiny skin in the summer without making it look dead and completely flat is by using a moisturizer that helps to keep shine away, like Juara Sweet Black Tea &amp;amp; Ginger Mattefying Moisturizer,&amp;quot; Matin syas. &amp;quot;What it basically does is take away existing shine and control oil, but at the same time gives skin the moisture it needs and the kind of nutrients a good night sleep would. It really wakes up your skin as if it&amp;amp;#8217;s gotten a good sleep.&amp;quot; 2. Finish with a skin perfector &amp;quot;A great product that I always use is Talika Skin Retouch,&amp;quot; Matin says. &amp;quot;You use it on top of makeup as the very last step, tap it on top of the makeup on the T-zone or nose to touch up and get rid of excess shine that you don&amp;amp;#8217;t want. This is a great product if you don&amp;amp;#8217;t want any more texture or coverage and is really great on bare skin that&amp;amp;#8217;s just been moisturized.&amp;quot; &amp;quot;If you do want more texture or coverage and a more velvety look, I would recommend Votre Vu&amp;amp;#8217;s Zone Out powder, which is so lightweight. It doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t feel cakey like a lot of powders can, and when you put it on the face it&amp;amp;#8217;s really light.&amp;quot; 3. Don&amp;#x27;t forget to stash this in your clutch &amp;quot;I also recommend carrying around blotting papers in your purse. Neutrogena has blotting papers without powder, or you can opt for the ones with powder like Shiseido has,&amp;quot; Matin notes. &amp;quot;Before you put anything additional on (like the Skin Retouch or Zone Out), it&amp;amp;#8217;s always best to remove excess oil so that the look doesn&amp;amp;#8217;t get too heavy.&amp;quot; 4. Factor in your face wash &amp;quot;Cleansing the skin is really important in the summer,&amp;quot; Matin says. &amp;quot;I prefer lighter washes, something foaming like Jurlique Soothing Foaming Cleanser, which is great for all skin types, especially sensitive skin. It balances out the skin without overdrying it. We don&amp;amp;#8217;t treat our skin enough in the summer and usually people will overcleanse, but this foaming cleanser does just enough without leaving you dry. The Jurlique Rosewater Balancing Mist is also great to prep the skin before you put on the Juara moisturizer.&amp;quot; !function(d,s,id){var e, p = /^http:/.test(d.location) ? &amp;#x27;http&amp;#x27; : &amp;#x27;https&amp;#x27;;if(!d.getElementById(id)) {e = d.createElement(s);e.id = id;e.src = p + &amp;#x27;://&amp;#x27; + &amp;#x27;widgets.rewardstyle.com&amp;#x27; + &amp;#x27;/js/lookbook.js&amp;#x27;;d.body.appendChild(e);}if(typeof(window.__lookbook) === &amp;#x27;object&amp;#x27;) if(d.readyState === &amp;#x27;complete&amp;#x27;) {window.__lookbook.init();}}(document, &amp;#x27;script&amp;#x27;, &amp;#x27;lookbook-script&amp;#x27;);JavaScript is currently disabled in this browser.
