1. DON'T FIGHT THE WEATHER, WORK WITH IT. Celebrity makeup artist Sandy Linter (coauthor of our best-selling beauty book The Makeup Wakeup) has worked with clients like Christie
Brinkley, Bette Midler and Elizabeth Hurley. “The trick to summer is really all about keeping your skin looking fresh as possible,” says Linter. “Let the glow work for you. Use cream or gel
stick blushes and bronzers to give skin a healthy, luminous sheen.” And don't forget tinted moisturizers to warm up skin tone and provide just enough sun-warmed color. Nicole Kidman has

gel-cream or whipped oil-free blend. While you still do need moisturizer to keep 50-plus skin hydrated and lines plumped up “skip moisturizers that leave your skin feeling damp to the touch
and never apply moisturizer to eyelids!” Linter says. Neutrogena Hydro-Boost Gel- Cream for Extra Dry Skin; Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb; Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer SPF 25;
Clinique Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto- Replenishing Hydrator Neutrogena; Garnier; Olay; Clinique Look for one with hyaluronic acid — a humectant that attracts and holds water to the skin like
a sponge — such as Neutrogena Hydro-Boost Gel-Cream for extra dry skin ($23, ulta.com) or Garnier SkinActive Moisture Bomb, the Antioxidant Super Moisturizer ($17, ulta.com). Also keep an
eye out for products with water high up on the ingredients list but rich in extra skin boosters like antioxidants and peptides, including Clinique Moisture Surge 72-Hour Auto-Replenishing
Hydrator ($39, sephora.com) or Olay Regenerist Whip Face Moisturizer SPF 25 ($39, ulta.com). Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo Foundation; Dermablend Illuminating Banana Powder Dermablend 3.
FAKE IT, BUT MAKE IT LOOK REAL. For women who like more coverage in the summer Linter has three suggestions she uses on clients: “Apply a primer first; choose a transfer-resistant makeup
[like Dermablend Smooth Liquid Camo Foundation ($38, ulta.com)]; and [here's the surprise!] add a light-reflecting, loose-setting powder [like Dermablend Illuminating Banana Powder
($29, ulta.com)] to brighten and prevent makeup from creasing.” Bo Derek still luminous in full makeup; Paula Abdul looks lit from within even with real makeup. Getty Images; Rodin
Eckenroth/WireImage Choose primer that's not too slick and be stingy about foundation. Work in thin layers. The goal is not to totally camouflage every brown spot and discoloration but
to blur them and minimize the contrast with your overall complexion for a more even yet still natural look that lasts. Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lip Color; Stila Stay All Day Liquid

color close to your skin tone as a base to give powder shadow and/or pencil a grip. Save the razzle-dazzle smoky eye for later and stick to a lighter neutral eye that depends on liner and
mascara for shape. Swipe on lip balm since your kisser is vulnerable to the drying effects of sun and heat — it also works as a primer to avoid lipstick melting in nooks and crannies or
caking — and Linter suggests a sheer or liquid lipstick rather than a full-coverage one. Julia Louis- Dreyfus' hair wavy and casually pulled back, simple soft makeup; Viola Davis

Day Liquid Lipstick ($22, ulta.com) on lots of my mature celebrity clients; it stays fresh for many hours,” she says. My suggestions include Maybelline Super Stay Matte Ink Lip Color ($7-9,
target.com) or Physicians Formula Velvet Liquid Lip ($8, target.com) in garden-like nude pinks, mauves, roses or reds. A bonus: The skinny tip makes liner totally unnecessary. Susan Sarandon

stylist with his own eponymous NYC salon — has worked with grownup glamazons including Cindy Crawford, Christy Turlington and Sandra Bullock. “Summer is perfect to find a new hair strategy —
one that requires minimum heat styling and looks just as great with your natural texture. If you've been blow-drying and flat-ironing smooth, relaxing or doing keratin for a straighter
look — stop. It may take time to get the right cut and get used to more bend, wave, curl or texture but this is where women — especially those with fine or thinning hair — benefit,” he
says. “Step away from peer pressure and your past and get that high-maintenance hair idea out of your system.”
