If you've ever carefully applied your makeup during the Summer, ensuring your complexion looks perfect and expertly applying winged liner, just to run outside and have it melt off your face, we feel your frustration. It can be difficult for your makeup to stay on during high temperatures, and although using primer, setting spray, and waterproof mascara can help it stay on, it's not a foolproof solution. That's why we consulted beauty service Glamsquad to find out what products the brand relies on to make sure its clients' faces stay looking good, even through sweltering weather.

Makeup artist and Artistic Director of Glamsquad Kelli J. Bartlett shared with us her go-to products for steamy weather, ahead.

Temptu Pro Perfect Canvas Hydra Lock Airbrush Foundation

As for photo-ready makeup that won't budge, Bartlett favors the Perfect Canvas Hydra Lock Airbrush Foundation ($15). She recommends using a few light layers to make it look as natural as possible. "You can even forgo the airbrush and apply a bit with a Beautyblender for fantastic coverage and touch-ups throughout the day," Bartlett said.

MAC Pro Longwear Concealer

You know that annoying, makeup-ruining smudge by your nose that happens where your sunglasses meet your face? According to Bartlett, the MAC Pro Longwear Concealer ($20, originally $24) makes that problem ancient history. "It's completely full-coverage but has a weightless feel," she said. "It also has 24-hour wear and is water- and transfer-resistant."

L'Oréal Paris Infallible Flash Cat Eye Waterproof Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner

Bartlett opts to use the L'Oréal Paris Infallible Flash Cat Eye Waterproof Brush Tip Liquid Eyeliner ($8) to make sure liner stays put through the heat and contact with sunglasses. "I wiggle the liquid liner at the root of the lash and create a small wing following the lash line," she said. "The waterproof formula makes sure your eyes won't smudge."

Huda Beauty Tantour Contour and Bronzer Cream

Huda Beauty Tantour Contour and Bronzer Cream

Even on days when you'd rather skip foundation, like when you're headed to the beach, Bartlett recommends the Huda Beauty Tantour Contour and Bronzer Cream ($30). "It carves out cheekbones and is water-resistant and sweat-proof, so no one will know you're wearing makeup."
