Summer Makeup Strategies

UPDATED 07/21/2010 at 01:00 AM EDT Originally published 07/21/2010 at 01:00 AM EDT

"Avoid cream shadow because it'll melt into the creases of your eyes. Instead use a sheer layer of powder in neutral colors."

-SUSAN McCARTHY, Jennifer Nettles' makeup artist

TRY: Nars Single Eyeshadow in Bengali, $23; narscosmetics.com

"If you like powder, try a silica-based one that reduces shine without adding more layers to your face."

-SHEILA DAVIS, makeup artist for Little Big Town's Kimberly Schlapman

TRY: Jemma Kidd On Set Mattifying Powder, $20; target.com

"Sweat can cause mascara to run. I use waterproof mascara. For skin, oil-blotting rice papers are a must."

-MARY BETH FELTS, Martina McBride's makeup artist

TRY: Maybelline Great Lash Waterproof Mascara, $4.99; drugstore.com
