Summer lovin'
Easy, breezy is the mantra for the hot season, so keep your beauty routine beach-friendly by avoiding these top beauty blunders.

1. Runny Eye Makeup
Sephora Pro Team Member Adi Lando recommends waterproof mascara as your first line of defense against raccoon eyes. He says, "With the summer season, we often encounter the problem of runny eye make-up due to the hot weather. Waterproof mascara is an essential item this season and is easy to find since most mascaras already come water and smudge proof. Dior Show Waterproof Mascara is an excellent choice for everyone." If a slick-proof liner is what you're after, Lando recommends Urban Decay 24/7 Glide-On Eye Pencil for pencil eyeliners, and Hourglass Calligraphy Liquid Eye Liner for liquid eye liners as it has a pen tip that is easy to use. "And," says Lando, "if you fancy a cream liner, Caviar (true jet black) Cream Eye Liner by Smashbox will do the trick."
Another option? "Use concealer," he says. "That, with powder, will help set your face and will increase the longevity of your overall complexion." Stila Perfecting Concealer or Tarte Erase Concealer are great options as they last the entire day, and, when it comes to powder, you can't go wrong with Make Up Forever Super Matte Loose Powder.
2. Chlorine-Damaged hair
Frolicking in the pool, lounging in the hot sun, and swimming in the sea can all take a toll on your tresses, leaving them bone-dry and breakable. Stylist and hair guru Marc Anthony recommends a thin layer of leave-in conditioner or treatment - such as his own Damage Repair Treatment - on the hair before hitting the pool. "The more protein you put in your hair, the more protected it is, so that the chlorine doesn't get in," he says.
Blonds beware: your hair - especially if it is processed - is especially susceptible to turning chlorine-green, a hue that only comes out with a trip to the salon for a stripping treatment.
