What's a hot, sweaty otherwise perfectly ladylike girl to do in the heat? Here are some tips on how to look your best in a heat wave, even if you sweat.


Sweating may not be ladylike, but it sure does happen. Actually, I have a friend who never sweats, but she's the exception. The rest of us have to deal with a goopy makeup mess when it gets hot. What to do? Use a toner on clean skin. If you can get away with it, skip makeup in favor of spot concealing. Otherwise, try a tinted oil-free moisturizer. If you need more coverage, lighten it up by mixing foundation with an oil-free moisturizer, then touch powder in the oily areas. If you get sweaty during the day, blot with a tissue or dab with a toner-soaked cotton to freshen. Beautiful, dewy, and perfectly ladylike.
