How to Make Your Concealer Survive the Summer Heat (Without Melting Off by Noon)

Let’s face it—summer is cute until your concealer decides to clock out before brunch. Between the heat, humidity, and iced coffee sweat drips (you know the ones), keeping your under-eyes fresh is basically a beauty Olympics. But here’s the good news: flawless concealer can survive the summer—and still look like skin.

You just need the right products and a few hot-weather hacks. Spoiler: Laura’s got you.

Step 1: Hydration Is the Real Primer

The secret to crease-free, summer-proof concealer starts before you even open your makeup bag. Your under-eyes need to be hydrated, smooth, and ready to grip product, AKA Laura Mercier's Pure Canvas Primer Hydrating.

Step 2: Go In With Real Flawless Concealer (It’s In the Name)

If you haven’t met the Laura Mercier Real Flawless Weightless Perfecting Concealer, prepare to fall hard. This is your all-day, water-resistant, crease-resistant, sweat-defying hero that still feels light as air.

Brightens, smooths, and doesn’t budge? A summer dream.

Application Tips:

• Dot under the eyes, around the nose, or wherever you need a little lift.

• Tap it in with your fingers or a damp sponge (warmth helps it melt into skin).

• Let it sit for 20-ish seconds before blending if you want max coverage. It’s giving stay-all-day realness.

Step 3: Lock It In With Setting Powder

Trust Us, You Need This

This step is non-negotiable if you want your concealer to last through the heat, humidity, and maybe even a rooftop happy hour.

If you're into a blurred, soft-matte finish:

Use the Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder Ultra-Blur. She’s weightless, smoothing, and helps keep oil and sweat under control without ever looking powdery.

If you want something made just for under eyes:

Reach for the Laura Mercier Secret Brightening Color Correcting Under Eye Setting Powder. It’s light as air with color-correcting pink and peach pigments that brighten and set without ever settling into fine lines.

The How-To:

• Use a small fluffy brush (like the Secret Brightening Powder Brush).

• Tap off the excess.

• Press and roll under the eyes—don’t swipe! We’re setting, not smearing.

Step 4: Mist It Into Place With Setting Spray

Final step = sealing the deal.

A generous mist of Translucent Pure Setting Spray 16HR keeps everything locked in, crease-free, and skin-like—not stiff or crunchy. It sets makeup and brings back a natural glow. Think: fresh, not flat.

Mist in an X and T shape, take a deep breath, and go live your best glowy life.

Quick Tips to Keep It Cute All Day:

• Don’t overload on product—thin, buildable layers = less melting.

• Avoid rich creams under makeup in the AM.

• Blot with tissue or blotting papers instead of layering on more powder.

• Keep a mini setting spray in your bag for touch-ups on the go.

Moral of the story? You don’t have to sacrifice your glam when temps hit 85 and climbing. With this routine, your concealer isn’t going anywhere—but you? You’ve got a glow to catch.
