10 Epic Summer Beauty Fails and Exactly How to Fix 'Em

Your ice cream isn’t the only thing that’s melting in the heat — soaring temps can lead to a full-on makeup meltdown. But, before you go buy stock in makeup primers, let us clue you in on a very easy trick that will help you keep that turquoise cat-eye look you put on this morning where it belongs. And when we say simple, we mean simple. All you have to do to lock your liner in place is layer a powder over top. No, seriously.

Apply your liner like you normally would, then dip a liner brush with a matching eye shadow powder and draw it over top of the line. Just like how face powder helps keep your foundation from sliding off, a powder shadow will grab onto that creamy liner and create a stay-put shield that makes smearing a thing of the past.

Try Tom Ford Beauty Cream and Powder Eye Color ($62) as your go-to powder.
