Products that Help a Woman Survive the Heat … and Look Beautiful Doing It.

It's hot. And it's only going to get worse over the next few days. So, I'm going to start filling you in on some products that will keep you looking fabulous … even while your clothes are sticking to your body and you're thanking the man upstairs for your window AC (or praying for one).

1. A Great Primer    

As a woman, I know that you can walk into any Sephora store and find at least 20 different types of primer. Even with all those choices, I prefer to walk into a pharmacy and pick up L'Oreal's Studio Secret Magic Perfecting Base. It sells for around $12.99, and it is magical. As soon as you put it on your face, the texture improves and your pores begin to shrink. On the weekends, when I'm lazy, this is all I wear on my face (it's that good).

But, when I do get all dolled up, this is perfect under make up. Through sweaty subway rides, sticky bars, dancing, and any other physical activity, your make up stays put. After eight, even ten hours, my foundation doesn't drip off with my sweat. With a heat index of 110 degrees, anything that keeps your make up on through the work day (or the fun night) is worth a try.
