One of the biggest challenges in summer is keeping your makeup looking fresh and flawless throughout the day – luckily M•A•C beauty guru Dominic Skinner, has shared his expert tips for long-lasting makeup that withstands the heat.

For a flawlessly balanced base, Dom suggests starting off with a lighter moisturiser, such as the M•A•C Hyper Real Serumizer. This miracle moisturiser retexturises and strengthens skin to give you a full facial treatment in just a single product. It’s the perfect choice to give your skin the nourishment it needs without feeling heavy or cakey in the heat.
