    Currently it's about 102.5 million degrees in my bathroom. So the thought of getting all glammed up -- giving myself the perfect blowout or attempting a smoky eye look -- makes me want to hide in my fridge (literally).

    However, since I don't plan on spending the summer makeup free (I tried that, and as you can see here it's pretty terrifying) or missing out on the coolest summer trends, I need some help. Because let's face it, my fridge is too small to fit into.

    Enter these tips, all of which will keep my makeup from melting off in the scorching heat and soul-crushing humidity. I just need to follow them and pair them with a heat-free hairstyle, and I'm set for summer. Will you be giving them a try too?
