"Whatcha doin&amp;#x27; today? Grilling? Hitting the beach? Just hanging out? No matter how you plan to celebrate, I know you&amp;#x27;re gonna want to keep your skin looking gorgeous, shine-free and Facebook-ready. These tips from makeup artist Andrew Sotomayor will help!Keep shine in check all season long with these pro tips. 1. Switch up your foundation. During summer months, go for an oil-free powder foundation or a gel-based liquid formula&amp;amp;ndash;you won&amp;#x27;t need as many touchups. Not into foundation when it&amp;#x27;s hot outside? Try a lightweight BB Cream. 2. Use the right powder. &amp;quot;Your regular powder may not be controlling shine! Mineral and silica based powders cannot physically absorb oil. They actually just cover it up temporarily. Choose a formula with oil-absorbing ingredients like talc, rice powder. And no, talc doesn&amp;#x27;t clogs pores. It actually absorbs moisture and provides some coverage,&amp;quot; says Sotomayor. 3. Blot your face. Keep a pack of oil-blotting papers on hand to soak up shine without messing up your makeup. Or do it the the old-school way: &amp;quot;Separate a 2-ply tissue and press a single layer on the skin,&amp;quot; suggests Sotomayor. 4. Use a mattifying sunscreen. It&amp;#x27;ll give you SPF protection and a polished-looking complexion. 5. Don&amp;#x27;t go crazy with cleansing. &amp;quot;A lot of women use overly aggressive face washes and toners too frequently, which kicks oil-production into overdrive. Consider a more gentle cleanser, or simply use yours less often. You may not need to wash your face first thing in the morning if you removed makeup properly the night before,&amp;quot; says Sotomayor. There you go!
