Heat Wave and Makeup

Even the quality manufactured Makeup of Mehron can't withstand the heat of a hot car in a heat wave. With temperatures across the US surpassing one hundred degrees Fahrenheit, the interior of a car parked with the windows up can approach one hundred and fifty degrees Fahrenheit in no time. Of course everyone knows not to leave animals in the car, and neither should you leave makeup in the car at those temperatures. The extreme heat of the summer heat waves can effect your makeup. Makeup Artists running from job to job and doing errands in between should be aware of how long you are going to leave your makeup kit in the car or trunk. Your Makeup Kit is your livelihood, don't leave a Makeup Kit in the car while you do errands. You may think that you will only be a few minutes, but what if it's longer. Your makeup could be melting while you are waiting on a line you thought would be shorter.

Not only Makeup Artists who have a lot of money tied up in their supplies have to be aware of the extreme heat of heat waves, everyone should be aware of leaving makeup in a car that is parked and will soon heat up to an oven cooking temperature. Everyone has seen the news reporters cooking eggs on sidewalks and car dashboards while reporting on the heat waves, if the heat can cook an egg, it can cook your makeup. Lipstick, Cream Foundations, Eyeshadow, Eyeliners and even lip pencils can melt in extreme heat, don't take the chance, take your makeup with you. Even if you always leave Makeup and Makeup Kits in your car, these extreme heat waves are not the time to take chances. Protect your Makeup investment by keeping it out of the extreme heat.

Clowns, Face Painters and Body Painters who often leave everything in the car between jobs, should be aware that these are not normal hot days, these are extremely hot days, you don't want to risk cooking your makeup. It may take a bit more time and work to empty your Clown Makeup or Face and Bodypainting Makeup from your car or van, but it is worth saving your makeup. The last thing you want to do is arrive at next week's job and discover that your Makeup Palette has melted and re-hardened to form a new makeup shape.
