10 Memes About Wearing Makeup in the Summer That Are Too Real

Date July 5, 2018

It’s that time again. It’s the middle of summer, humidity’s high, everything’s sticky, you know the drill. And yet, you (and we!) persist. We try to apply a light layer of foundation, draw on a nice, thin wing and line our lips. Each time, we think we’ll be successful, that we’ve used enough primer, and we’ll load up on setting spray and translucent powder.

But it doesn’t work. It just won’t. Below, we’ve rounded up 10 memes that perfectly capture what it feels like to try to wear makeup in the summer. We know you’ll relate.
