Bianca’s Late Summer Makeup Rescue: 4 Tips To Avoid The “Face Melt”

"Confidence is the best summer glow—makeup is just the finishing touch."

Have you noticed the tricky weather lately? It's that confusing end-of-summer weather where you step outside thinking it'll be cooler and instead get hit with a wall of hot, humid air.

You can feel your makeup starting to melt off your face before you even reach the car. This happened to me the other day as I stepped out the door. My sunglasses fogged up, my hair frizzed on contact with the humidity, and—worst of all—I could feel my makeup starting to melt before I even made it to the car.

By the time I arrived at my destination, my foundation had shifted, my eyeliner had smudged into a smoky eye I definitely hadn’t planned, and I was already wishing I’d skipped makeup altogether.

But like every woman, I still like to look polished, even when it’s 90 degrees and humid. If that sounds familiar, we’ve got you.

Bianca is here with her late-summer rescue routine—four simple tips (with a few of her favorite Vibriance products) that help makeup stay fresh and comfortable, no matter how hot or sticky it gets.

1. Skip Full Coverage

One of the first changes Bianca makes to her summer routine is lightening up her base. In hot, humid weather, heavy foundation layers can cake, crease, or slide away before the day is done.

Bianca’s solution? Keep it light. She uses the Vibriance Complexion Stick to target only the areas that need a little boost—under the eyes, around the nose, or over sunspots.

Instead of coating her whole face, she spot treats, leaving skin breathable and natural-looking.

The result: a polished finish that lasts longer and feels like you’re wearing almost nothing at all.

And as a bonus, it trims valuable minutes from the morning routine.

2. Choose Cream Products

For summer, Bianca swaps most of her powders for creams. Powder formulas can cling to sweat or settle into fine lines, making skin look patchy as the day goes on.

Cream products, on the other hand, melt into the skin for a smoother, more hydrated appearance that lasts longer in the heat.

Her go-to is Vibriance Makeup Simplified, a two-product system designed to make makeup easy and versatile.

Vibriance Makeup Simplified Radiance adds a natural flush of color to cheeks, lips, or even across the bridge of the nose for a sun-kissed effect—without the sun damage.

Vibriance Makeup Simplified Illuminate brightens and lifts features, adding a soft glow to the high points of the face like the brow bone, cheekbones, and even the center of the eyelids for a light-catching touch.

Both products blend effortlessly with fingertips, so they’re quick to apply and perfect for on-the-go touch-ups.

And because creams move with the skin instead of sitting on top of it, they keep their fresh, dewy finish well into the afternoon.

With these two sticks, Bianca can create a naturally radiant, sculpted look in minutes.

3. Skip Eyeliner in the Heat

By late summer, eyeliner tends to smudge faster than you can sip your iced coffee.

Rather than risk midday touch-ups, Bianca simplifies her eye routine by skipping eyeliner altogether.

Instead, she focuses on defining her lashes with Vibriance Volumizing Mascara. The formula adds lift, length, and volume without clumping, giving her eyes noticeable definition without the weight or potential mess of liner.

It’s also gentle on sensitive eyes and removes easily at the end of the day—no tugging or scrubbing required. This swap keeps the eye area looking fresh and open, even on the most humid days.

And without eyeliner to worry about, there’s no chance of unexpected smudges turning a clean summer look into an unplanned smoky eye.

4. Let Your Skincare Absorb First

The final step in Bianca’s summer routine isn’t about makeup at all; it’s about timing.

In warm weather, layering makeup directly over freshly applied skincare, especially sunscreen, can cause slipping, uneven coverage, or a “melty” look before midday.

To avoid this, Bianca gives her skincare products a few minutes to fully absorb before she starts her makeup.

Once her skin feels dry to the touch but still hydrated underneath, her cream products have a better surface to adhere to.

This helps them blend smoothly, wear longer, and stay exactly where she applies them.

Those extra minutes can be put to good use—pouring an iced coffee, styling hair, or gathering things for the day.

By the time she’s ready to apply her makeup, her skin is prepped and primed for a look that lasts through the heat.

Bringing It All Together

The end of summer might be unpredictable, but your makeup doesn’t have to be.

With these four tips, you can create a look that’s light, fresh, and built to withstand the summer heat.

With breathable products and smart techniques, you can skip the heaviness of traditional makeup.

The result? Makeup that looks just as good in the late afternoon as it did first thing in the morning. And the best part—this entire routine takes less than 10 minutes.

That means more time for the things that make summer special. With a few Vibriance favorites and a mindful approach, you can embrace the season without worrying about touch-ups or makeup meltdown.

Light, fresh, and easy—that’s what summer beauty should be. Cheers to Positive Aging!
