It happens every day in Texas. You apply your makeup perfectly, grab your things, step out the door and…sweat it all off. Ugh! It’s extremely frustrating, and some girls even give up and don’t wear it at all in those hot summer months.

SUN BLOCK

A good sunblock should always be applied under your makeup if you plan to be outside for an extended period of time.
