Beat the humidity: 12 celebrity summer beauty inspirations to keep you cool and shine-free
See the best celebrity beauty inspirations to beat the humidity »
Humidity can be a real obstacle when it comes to summer beauty. On one hand, we get to play with easy-breezy hairstyles like beach-wavy hair and bright-coloured makeup, on the other (and the not so glam) hand, we have to deal with shiny, sticky skin and runny makeup. While we’ve tackled other hazards before, we’re turning to the A-list stars to inspire us on how to stay shine-free. From fun hairstyles to matte makeup, we’re rounding up the 12 best celebrity summer beauty inspiration to show us how to beat the humidity in the most glamorous (and graceful) way possible.
When it comes to summer hairstyles, keeping it off our sweaty face (and necks!) is key. It’s no surprise to see topknots and ponytails as the favoured options for the humid season, especially when they are so easy and quick to whip up. While a pixie cut like Jennifer Lawrence is the ultimate way to stay cool, Claire Danes’ faux bob is the hairstyle to do for those looking for a change sans permanence. Emma Stone’s use of the one bobby pin to pin back her bangs is a simple way to keep the hair off the face (plus, exposed bobby pins are kind of a thing right now), but a sweet-looking hairband à la Blake Lively to push hair back effortlessly is perfect for the lazy girls in all of us.
By now we know matte and waterproof makeup are our best friends when beating the humidity in the beauty department because let’s face it, super shiny faces is not the most attractive look. Cue Jennifer Aniston. This actress has the flawless, matte-looking skin down pat. Doing our eyes can also be a daunting area when beating the humidity with our makeup. So instead of applying eyeshadow where it’s prone to creasing and smudging when it gets humid, opt for lush (waterproof!) lashes instead. Don’t think your eyes will get the overall pop you’re looking for? Look to Selena Gomez and dare you to prove us wrong.
