Eyeshadow can be ephemeral in the heat, so retire it until fall. Define your eyes with a waterproof liquid liner (like Make Up For Ever Aqua Liner, $23) and waterproof mascara (like NYC New York Color Show Time Volumizing Mascara, $4).
Play up your mouth with a smear-proof lip stain or waxy tinted balm. (Try Smashbox Limitless Lip Stain & Color Seal Balm, $23, or Fresh Sugar Honey Tinted Lip Treatment SPF 15, $23).
