As the blissful June sun begins to radiate, many of us start to feel a familiar sense of dread: “Makeup Meltdown.” Between the rising humidity and the unpredictable nature of hot flashes, keeping our faces looking fresh past 10:00 AM can feel like a game of wack-a mole.

Rather than the constant touchup and drooling mascara, let’s add some tools that help keep everything looking fresh and pretty, even when the rest of you is evaporating. This summer, we are moving away from heavy, cakey products and embracing a routine that is breathable, water-resistant, and, most importantly, reliable.

The Basis of Heat-Resistance: The Primer

If you skip every other step this summer, do not skip your primer. Use one that creates a matte finish, adheres foundation to the skin, and controls shine and oil with or without foundation.

On Edna, my model, I added some hydration and, once the product had set into her skin, I followed with a Prime Prometics Skin Primer. It feels silky and smooth, stays on all day, and blurs fine lines and pores for a beautiful finish.

Pro-Tip: Use your fingers to apply your primer. The warmth of your hands helps the product melt into the skin, ensuring every nook and cranny is protected.

Less Is Best: Strategic Application of Color

When it’s 80 degrees outside, a heavy foundation is your worst enemy. It’s the first thing to “break” when you sweat. Instead, reach for a light coverage foundation like a tinted moisturizer or a CC cream, and only use it in your t-zone or where you need it, rather than all over. If you are able, don’t wear any at all, just a little concealer to hide any dark or discolored parts.

Application

On Edna, I used a CC Cream and applied it to her t-zone. Because Edna has some redness around her eyes, I also added it over and under her eye area. If you do not have oily lids, this works very well and can keep you from using too much concealer.

Concealer

Only use where you need it, the more you add, the worse it can look.

Bronzer + Blush

Cream products work fantastically in hot weather, and can have greater staying power than powders. Plus, since we are using less foundation, bronzer and blush add color and warmth to an otherwise flat appearance. Be sure to blend in circular motions and be very thorough to avoid streaky lines!

The “Raccoon Eye” Solution: Water Resistant Everything

We’ve all been there; you look in the mirror at lunch and realize your mascara has migrated to your under-eyes, and then your belly button. In the summer, humidity softens traditional waxes in mascara, causing them to smudge. It’s important to choose a mascara, eye shadows, and eye liners that are water repellant or water resistant to avoid this.

Mascara

On Edna I used a tubing mascara that doesn’t smudge in hot temperatures and comes off with warm water. For this video, I used black, but it can be fun to try different colors like Mulberry, Emerald, and Smoke.

Eye Shadows

Cream eye shadows are easy to apply and stay put. On Edna, I used a bronze shade called Nebula both around her eye and in the crease, and it really made her eye color jump out.

Eye Liner

For eye liner I used Wood, a warm brown shade, and rimmed her entire eye with it. The trick here is to blend with a soft brush to remove any harsh lines.

Pro Tip: Because makeup tends to fade more quickly in summer, apply a little more eyeliner on the outer edge of your eye than you normally would.Also try putting liner in the waterline, as this adds punch to an otherwise boring look.

How to Keep Lipstick in Place

I swear I have eaten about a hundred lipsticks in my day. I tend to roll my lips when I concentrate, so lipstick lasts under 30 minutes on me at all times. Because of this, I use a specific technique to keep lip shades in place. Do these steps in order:

• Foundation on lips: If your lips are dry, this works even better.
• Fill in lips with liner: Use a neutral lipliner about the same color as your lips.
• Layer lipstick: Apply lipstick, then powder on lips, then lipstick again.

For summer, I prefer a lip gloss or balm, and the above technique works as long as you are not using a clear product. These tricks also keep the lip balm from spreading into fine lines or joining your mascara in your belly button.

A Word on Face Powder and Setting Spray

Even with a translucent face powder, reapplying can cause pilling and that awful cakey look. For this reason, I avoid powder unless the skin is especially oily. Dabbing with tissue or specific papers for oily skin works well if needed, but I find that a well placed primer can help do away with powder completely. As far as setting spray goes, use it if it tickles your fancy. I lean away from them because they can contain toxic ingredients, so do your homework.

Summer Is Da Bomb!

Summer should be about enjoying the garden, the beach, and the company of friends, not worrying about your makeup. By choosing products designed for the specific chemistry of mature skin, you can feel confident that your glow is intentional, not sweat-induced!

As a certified mindfulness meditation teacher, I have taught these practices in different spaces, and one of my favorites was teaching in my community’s park and recreation programs. Interestingly over the years the classes I offered expanded from teaching mindfulness/meditation to facilitating workshops on transitioning to retirement and healthy aging. This happened as my mindfulness classes were often attended by older women and the concerns and conversations organically shifted to challenges in this period of our lives.

In describing these workshops, I intentionally use the word facilitate rather than teach because my hope is that we all learn from each other. I am not a mental health professional, I am not an expert, I am not a professional retirement coach, I am just on this journey myself. After being in the mindfulness-meditation world since before it was “hip,” I have been exposed to many of the concerns of women in our age group and have created tools that are often found helpful.

One topic I like to share is learning from our past regrets, something I learned from Daniel Pink. While not a psychologist, Pink’s work focuses on behavioral psychology, a topic I find fascinating, and what I learned from his book, The Power of Regret, is something that I have incorporated into my own life and shared with women who have taken my workshops.

Who Has Regrets?

My husband is a fan of saying he has “no regrets,” that his life experiences have made him who he is and he wouldn’t change a thing. Of course there is great truth to that, but for many of us when we look back at our lives we may think “I wish I had/hadn’t done that.” For many, looking back at things they wish they’d done differently can be very painful. Regret can be painful, but examined regret can teach us so much moving forward.

Types of Regret

How do we examine regret though the lens of learning and growing? How can we learn from these experiences to see how they can positively change us moving forward? Let’s start with data from Pink’s global online survey where 16,000 people from 105 countries shared their regrets with him and four broad types of regrets were identified.

Foundation Regrets: “If only I had done the work.”

These regrets stem from not prioritizing foundations of a stable life and examples may include financial stability or prioritizing health.

Boldness Regrets: “If only I had taken the chance.”

These regrets come from failing to take a chance and examples may include wishing you went to college or graduate school or changed careers. It also includes more personal regrets such as wishing you would have gone on an adventure or asked someone out on a date.

Moral Regrets: “If only I had done the right thing.”

These regrets occur when we betray our own moral code and examples include unfaithfulness, cutting corners, or not following through on commitments.

Connection Regrets: “If only I’d reached out.”

These regrets involve broken or neglected relationships, or not sharing real feelings. These are the most common regrets.

The Practice: Identifying Regrets

Can you pick one small thing that you regret or wish you’d done differently in your life? Nothing big, nothing that brings up strong emotions; just something easy to practice with. Ask yourself the following questions:

• Which type of regret does this fall into?
• If I knew then what I know now, would I do this again?

Determining the type of regret you have teaches you what you value. If your regret is letting a friendship lapse, then you may value connection in this point in your life. If your regret is a foundational regret then you may value security at this point in your life. When you ask yourself if you’d make the same decision now, knowing what you know, can you offer yourself compassion? What if someone you loved shared this regret with you? What would you say to them? You can even say to yourself “You’ve grown a lot since you made that decision, look at what you’ve learned.”

The Practice: Making a Change

Now that you’ve tied a regret to a value, and hopefully provided yourself some self-compassion, ask yourself, How can I use this information to better my current life? Do you want to reconnect with a friend or family member? Email, text, or call that person, I bet they will be happy to reconnect and even if they aren’t then you know YOU tried and can find peace in that.

Catching up on foundational work? It’s never too late to change! Making positive health changes, strengthening finances, or moving someplace new can be reframed as positive challenges and the smallest of change can bring a healthy dose of self-esteem and hope for the future.

This is just a tiny offering of Daniel Pink’s work on regret. If this topic interests you and you’d like more information, you can find him on all social platforms.

Let’s Have a Conversation:

What type of regrets do you have? What are they based on? Have you found ways to make some changes to your mindset?
