Eyes
Cream shadow is the best long lasting option for summer weather. You can add an eye primer to make the shadow last even longer and cream shadows are great for building pigment when you place powder shadows on top. If it is just to darn hot for the hassale of applying a full lid of color you can always opt for a long lasting eye liner that will give the same pop of color.
