With summer in full swing, tis the season of Matte skin. As someone with oily skin, the summer days and nights aren’t too kind to my makeup looks. Who wants to get all dolled up on a summer’s night and have makeup melt off your face before you even get where you are going? This has happened to me more times then I would like to admit. I have since learned to take steps to ensure my Summer Nights Makeup stays locked and loaded all night long. So, today I am going to show you my Summer Nights Makeup Tutorial!
Using products that are made for oily skin or products that have a matte finish is your best plan of action against the summer heat. I have been using Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder for YEARS to keep my skin looking matte all day. I seriously cannot live without it in the summer months. While I was at Walmart picking a new one, I noticed Rimmel now has a whole line of Stay Matte products. You know me, I had to grab one of everything! Just kidding – but I did grab the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer and the Rimmel Stay Matte foundation ( I am in the color 103 True Ivory). I’ve been super into glossy lips lately as well, so I picked up two colors of the Rimmel Stay Glossy glosses while I was there. Ok, ok… and a new concealer, bronzer…oh and the Rimmel Brow This Way Eyebrow Kit.
For this look I used:
Rimmel Stay Matte Primer
Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation
Rimmel Brow This Way Eyebrow Kit
Rimmel Natural Bronzer in Sun Light
Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent
Champagne Shade Highlight
Demi Wispies Lashes
Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara
Rimmel Exaggerate Automatic Lip Liner in Innocent
Rimmel Stay Glossy 3D Lip Gloss in Popcorn For 2
Rimmel Stay Glossy Lip Gloss in Non-Stop Glamour 2
Blending Sponge
Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer+Highlight
Mini Detail Contour Brush
Pointed Powder Brush
Angled Contour Brush
For this look, the Rimmel Stay Matte products worked amazingly well. The Stay Matte primer could honestly be worn alone on days when you don’t want to wear makeup but you want to stay matte. It minimizes the appearance of pores & controls shine for up to 8 hours. When I applied the primer, it wasn’t heavy or greasy on the skin like some other “matte” primers. The Stay Matte Foundation is also feather light, and definitely FULL coverage. It is a mousse texture, so it blends very easily into the skin. The thing I love most about these two products together, is they still feel super light on your skin. There isn’t any cakey, heavy feeling you normally find in matte primers & foundations.
Get the Look:
1: Start with a clean, dry face
2: Apply Rimmel Stay Matte Primer and let dry completely
3: While you are waiting for the primer to set, fill in your brows with the Rimmel Brow This Way Eyebrow Kit
4: Apply Rimmel Stay Matte Foundation with a damp beauty blender
5: Highlight the face with the Rimmel Match Perfection Concealer+Highlight – under eye area, forehead, bridge of nose, chin and cupids-bow
6: Blend out with damp beauty blender & Mini Detail Contour Brush
7: Set the concealer with Rimmel Stay Matte Pressed Powder in Transparent
8: Set the rest of face with your favorite powder
9: Contour the face with Rimmel Natural Bronzer
10: Contour the face with Rimmel Natural Bronzer
11: Apply favorite highlight to the high point of the cheeks, brow-bone, bridge of nose, chin and cupids-bow
12: Blend out with the same damp beauty blender, this will help melt the highlight into the powder
13: Apply lashes & Rimmel Lash Accelerator Mascara
14: Finish off with filling in your lips with the nude color liner, and top them off with the Rimmel Stay Glossy gloss
There you have it – super matte but still glowy skin for a summer night! The most important part is using the Rimmel Stay Matte Primer & Stay Matte Foundation, then setting it with the Stay Matte Pressed Powder. This will ensure your makeup stays on all night!

GORGEOUS look! I love the coppery tones you used for your eyeshadow – almost like a sunset look! The StayMatte Collection is great – I’ve been using that foundation and primer since it showed up on the market!
