Ditch The Layers: How To Avoid Makeup Pilling On Your Face During Summer
In Summer, less is more!
Summer is here, and we all know what that means. It’s time to ditch those heavy layers and opt for lighter, more breathable clothes. But did you know the same goes for your makeup routine? Yep, you heard me right – layering heavy makeup in the summer can lead to the dreaded look of makeup flowing down from your face. And that’s not a look you would wanna go with your summer dresses.
1. Start With A Clean Canvas
Just like how you wouldn’t layer clothes on top of a dirty body, you shouldn’t layer makeup on top of a dirty face. So, start by washing your face with a gentle cleanser to remove any excess oils and dirt that can cause your makeup to pill.

2. Moisturize, But Don’t Overdo It
Moisturizing is essential, even in the summer months for plump skin but be sure not to overdo it. Because when you put too much moisture it can lead to your makeup patching up on your skin, and that’s not a good look. So, opt for a lightweight moisturizer that hydrates your skin without leaving a greasy residue.
3. Use A Primer
A primer is a must-have in any makeup routine, but especially in the summer. A good primer can create a smooth base for your makeup, helping it to last longer without pilling. Look for a primer that’s oil-free and lightweight, so it doesn’t add any extra weight to your skin.
4. Less Is More With Foundation
When it comes to foundation, less is definitely more in the summer. A heavy foundation can feel suffocating on your skin, leading to pilling and a cakey finish. So, opt for a lightweight, tinted moisturizer or BB cream instead.
5. Blot, Blot, Blot
The heat and humidity can cause excess oil production, leading to a shiny T-zone and makeup that slides around on your face. Combat this by carrying around blotting papers and gently pressing them onto your skin to absorb any excess oil.

6. Set Your Makeup
Setting your makeup is crucial in the summer months. Look for a setting spray or powder that’s oil-free and lightweight to lock your makeup in place without weighing it down.
So, there you have it – an easy guide on how to avoid makeup pilling in the summer. Just like how we do away with layering in clothes during the warmer months, embrace the less-is-more approach with your makeup, and you’ll be sure to have a flawless, pill-free look all season long. Happy summer!
