How To Make Your Makeup Last In The Heat

Sweat-proof your make up
How To Make Your Makeup Last In The Heat
Previous

We’ve all had that moment when you look in the mirror to see that your once perfectly applied makeup is a hot mess.

A European summer is full of many wonderful things, but smudged lipstick, melting makeup and smeared eyeliner is not one of them. A babe needs to look her best when she's visiting the Trevi Fountain, no matter what the humidity. Whether you’re on vacay or just enjoying the sunshine, it’s time to start changing things up to ensure your makeup gets the extra TLC is needs to survive the entire day - you never know when you could meet a cute boy. Here are some pro-tips to sweat proofing your makeup, keeping you looking nothing but fresh despite the weather working against you.

Start with a clean base

If you’re trying to avoid looking like your face is melting away, you need to ensure your face is clean before applying any products. Makeup directly on a sweaty face is a disaster waiting to happen. Clean your face really well before adding a little warmth by using the Bali Body Face Tan Water. The lightweight water will double as your toner while also evening out your complexion. Now your base is a perfect shade of bronze, it’s time to add some make up.

It’s a crime not to prime

The high humidity in summer calls for a lightweight, cream based primer. Any beauty obsessed babe knows that you will never regret the 30 seconds it takes to apply your primer. Nothing holds your makeup in place quite like it. After giving your primer of choice a good 30-60 seconds to breath, you’re ready for the next anti-sweat secret weapon courtesy of international makeup artist, Benjamin Puckey. Benjamin recommends adding a small layer of translucent powder directly onto your primer before you add your foundation. The layer of powder between your two liquid based products give your makeup more grip and lasting power. It sounds a little crazy right? But when he has shot the front cover of Vogue more times than one, who are we to judge?

Less is always more

When it comes to nailing the perfect makeup look on a hot summer's day, less is always more. Too much heavy makeup mixed with sweat will leave you with nothing but some awkward creasing and caking on your face - both very much unwanted. A good BB Cream really is a fail proof option, giving you the perfect amount of coverage while also feeling barely there. Apply your BB Cream directly on top of your translucent powder with a brush so you’re not adding too much extra oil to the skin from your hands and layer it up as much as you like. To recap so far: clean, face tan, prime, powder, BB Cream.

Mix your own highlighter

Keep calm babes, there’s a way you can stop your highlighter from sliding straight off. The trick is to use a thicker oil to set your highlighter in between applications and we’re going to show you how to make your own using some of your BB essentials. Apply a small amount of the Shimmering Body Oil and Coconut Lip Balm to the back of your hand, keeping the products separated. Dab some of the Shimmering Body Oil on your usual highlight spots: top of your cheek bones, nose and cupid’s bow. Follow by adding the Coconut Lip Balm on top and re-apply the Shimmering Body Oil again. The lip balm acts as a sticky layer for your highlight to sit on top of, meaning it won't budge at all. It’s highlight magic like you have never seen before!

Stock up on waterproof eye makeup

No babe has the time to deal with panda eyes while she’s out on the town. Be sure you’re only using waterproof mascara, brow pencil and eyeliner so your makeup stays put while you’re on the dance floor. Once you have finished all the necessary steps to long-lasting make up, finish off with a good setting spray and you’re ready to go, babes. We recommend using our Hydrating Face Mist. It contains glycerin which is a known makeup setting essential. Last but not least, pack some blotting paper in your handbag so you can get rid of any sweat before re-applying makeup while you’re out. Nothing can stop you now!

How to Apply Self Tan Without Streaks: A Step-by-Step Guide

How to Apply Self Tan Without Streaks: A Step-by-Step Guide

A streak-free self tan is less about luck and more about technique. The right prep, the right formula, and a few simple habits make all the difference between a patchy result and a flawless, natural-looking glow. How Do You Avoid Streaks When Self Tanning? Streaks happen when self tan is applied to uneven, dry, or unprepared skin. The solution is thorough exfoliation before tanning, clean and dry skin at application, and a formula with a colour guide so you can see exactly where you've applied. Step 1: Exfoliate at Least 24 Hours Before Tanning Exfoliation is the most important step in avoiding streaks. Buffing away dead skin cells creates a smooth, even surface for the tan to grip to, which means more even colour development and a longer-lasting result. Use the Exfoliating Mitt in the shower to gently buff all over, paying particular attention to the knees, elbows, ankles, and hands. These areas tend to absorb more product and can develop darker or patchier without proper prep. Exfoliate 24 hours before rather than right before tanning. This gives the skin time to return to its natural pH, which helps colour develop more evenly. Step 2: Skip the Shave on Tan Day Shave or wax at least 24 hours before tanning. Freshly shaved skin has open pores that can absorb self tan unevenly, leading to a speckled finish. Timing it right means your tan develops smoothly and lasts longer. Step 3: Keep Skin Clean and Product-Free Moisturisers, oils, deodorant, and perfume can all create a barrier that prevents self tan from developing evenly. Shower beforehand and apply your self tan to completely clean, dry skin with nothing else underneath. Step 4: Moisturise Dry Areas Before applying, dab a small amount of lightweight moisturiser onto dry areas like the elbows, knees, ankles, and hands. This slows product absorption in these spots and helps colour develop more evenly. Step 5: Choose a Formula with a Colour Guide A tinted formula lets you see exactly where you've applied product as you go, making it easy to spot missed areas before they develop. The Bali Body Self Tanning Mousse and the 1 Hour Express Self Tan both feature colour guide technology, making them two of the easiest streak-free options available. The guide colour washes off in the shower, leaving a smooth, natural-looking bronze behind. Step 6: Apply Using a Tanning Mitt Use the Luxe Tanning Mitt and apply in long, sweeping motions over larger areas, and circular motions around joints. For tricky spots like the neck and décolletage, the Body Blending Brush helps buff in product seamlessly. Always use less product around dry areas like knees, elbows, and ankles. Step 7: Blend the Edges and Wash Your Hands Pay close attention to the hairline, wrists, ankles, and between the fingers and toes. Use the remaining product on your mitt to lightly blend into these areas. Wash your hands thoroughly after to avoid stained palms. Step 8: Let It Dry Before Getting Dressed Allow your self tan to fully dry before putting on clothing. Opt for loose, dark clothing if you need to get dressed quickly, and avoid tight waistbands or straps that can rub the product off before it sets. How to Maintain a Streak-Free Tan Moisturise daily to help the tan fade evenly Avoid long baths or heavy sweating in the first 24 hours Use Gradual Tan or Self Tan Body Milk between applications to maintain colour Before reapplying, use the Exfoliating Mitt and Express Tan Remover Scrub to remove old tan first Shop the full range online here.

The Best Self Tan for Your Skin Type

The Best Self Tan for Your Skin Type

Not all self tans are created equal, and the formula that works best for you comes down to your skin type. Using the right self tan makes application easier, helps colour develop more evenly, and keeps your skin in better condition throughout the process. Here's how to find your match. Which Self Tan Is Best for Your Skin Type? Dry skin: Gradual Tan or Self Tan Body Milk Oily or combination skin: Self Tanning Mousse Sensitive skin: Clear Self Tanning Gel Does Skin Type Affect How Self Tan Develops? Yes. Self tan reacts with the outermost layer of your skin cells, which means your skin's condition directly affects the result. Dry skin can absorb more product in certain areas, leading to patchiness. Oily skin can cause some formulas to slide or fade faster. Sensitive skin may react to certain ingredients. Choosing a formula suited to your skin type means a more even result and a better overall experience. Best Self Tan for Dry Skin Dry skin needs a formula that hydrates as it tans. Without enough moisture, self tan can settle unevenly into dry patches and fade patchily over time. Gradual Tan The Gradual Tan is a daily moisturising lotion that builds a natural-looking, buildable tan with every application. Enriched with coconut oil, cocoa butter, and coffee seed extract, it deeply nourishes the skin while developing a subtle, streak-free glow. Because colour builds gradually, it's easy to manage and maintain, making it ideal for dry skin types who want consistent hydration alongside their tan. Apply daily to clean, dry skin as a replacement for your regular body moisturiser. Self Tan Body Milk For dry skin that needs more intensive care, Self Tan Body Milk is the more advanced option. Formulated with 93% skincare ingredients, it combines a 4x hyaluronic acid complex, ceramides, and Vitamin C to deeply hydrate, strengthen the skin barrier, and brighten over time. The rinse-free formula absorbs quickly and fits seamlessly into an existing bodycare routine. It's one of the most skin-loving self tans available, and the results speak for themselves. Both are excellent choices for dry skin. The Gradual Tan is a great everyday option, while Self Tan Body Milk is ideal for those wanting active skincare benefits alongside their glow. Best Self Tan for Oily or Combination Skin Oily and combination skin types do better with lightweight, fast-drying formulas that don't add extra moisture or feel heavy on the skin. Self Tanning Mousse The Self Tanning Mousse is the best self tan for oily and combination skin. Its lightweight, aerated texture dries quickly and sits lightly on the skin, making it far less likely to slide, transfer, or fade unevenly. The colour guide technology makes application easy to control, and the 100% natural DHA formula delivers a natural-looking, streak-free tan that develops over 4 to 8 hours. Apply using the Luxe Tanning Mitt for the most even result. For deeper colour, the Ultra Dark Self Tanning Mousse delivers the same lightweight texture with a richer, golden finish. Best Self Tan for Sensitive Skin Sensitive skin does best with formulas that are free from heavy guide colours, fragrance-forward ingredients, and anything that might cause irritation. Clear Self Tanning Gel The Clear Self Tanning Gel is the standout option for sensitive skin. The completely clear, colourless formula contains no guide colour, which means fewer potential irritants and zero risk of transfer onto clothes or sheets. Enriched with hyaluronic acid, vitamin E, and aloe vera, it actively soothes and hydrates while the tan develops. It's rinse-free, fast-absorbing, and suitable for all skin types including sensitive skin. Colour develops naturally over 4 to 6 hours for a smooth, natural-looking glow. It's worth noting that the entire Bali Body self tan range is dermatologically and clinically tested safe for sensitive skin, so there are plenty of options to explore. How to Get the Best Result Whatever Your Skin Type Regardless of which formula you choose, a few habits make a real difference: Exfoliate 24 hours before tanning using the Exfoliating Mitt to create a smooth, even base Moisturise dry areas like elbows, knees, and ankles before applying tan Always apply self tan to clean, dry skin Use the Luxe Tanning Mitt for streak-free application with mousses and lotions Keep skin hydrated daily after tanning to extend the life of your glow Find Your Perfect Self Tan Whether you have dry, oily, combination, or sensitive skin, there's a Bali Body formula designed to work with your skin, not against it.
