The Best Makeup for Hot and Humid Weather, According to a Professional Makeup Artist
Summer vacations are for exploring tropical destinations, lounging on sun-soaked beaches, and indulging in freshly caught seafood. Hot and humid locations, though, usually cause you to immediately sweat off any makeup you've put on. I want to look my best when I'm traveling, but all it takes is five minutes in the island sun to have my mascara running down my face. To help create a summer makeup routine that can withstand high temperatures all day—and night—long, I turned to Sephora's beauty director and professional makeup artist David Razzano for his best tips for heatproof vacation makeup. The best makeup for hot, humid weather is long-lasting and practically weightless, allowing you to look and feel your best without needing to wear a ton of heavy products or worrying about it sliding right off. Razzano recently did my makeup using his tried-and-true warm-weather products and walked me through his best tricks for applying makeup that actually lasts. Below, a guide to lightweight, working-for-you makeup that will hold up in any hot and humid destination, whether you're island hopping around Greece, checking into a Caribbean resort, or just riding the New York City subway. Before actually applying any makeup, prep your face with the right skincare that will help your products last longer. Step one: 'Get yourself a great hydrating spray,' says Razzano. 'Dont slug and slather because it's just going to feel really heavy.' A lightweight spray, like Summer Friday's Jet Lag hydration mist, added a nice base layer of moisture to my face while also cooling it down. 'Humidity is a great instance for a primer,' he says. Razzano added the One Size Secure the Sweat waterproof mattifying primer with his fingers to help the rest of my makeup lay nicely and stay put. After some quick skin prep, it's time for the makeup. 'Use your concealer first because you don't want to put your liquids [makeup] on top of your powder—that's the rule of thumb,' says Razzano. Tower 28's Swipe All-Over hydrating serum concealer helps hide blemishes and brighten up my tired under eyes. Just when I thought Razzano was going to pull out a tinted moisturizer or a lightweight foundation, he surprised me. 'When you're in a hot and humid environment, nothing tops powder foundation—even if you have dry skin,' he says. A powder foundation? I thought this would feel heavy and look cake-y on my skin—but it was quite the opposite. I couldn't believe how weightless it felt on the skin, all while evening out my skin tone and blurring imperfections. 'A big, loose brush is going to give you a sheer coverage, while a smaller, compact brush will give a heavier coverage,' he says. After applying the powder foundation, Razzano recommends locking it in with another spritz of Summer Friday's hydrating mist—a.k.a. my newest summer essential. Razzano is applying Milk Makeup's Waterproof Rise Lifting and Lengthening mascara on commerce editor Meaghan Kenny 'A bronzer is a great way to slowly add color back to the face,' says Razzano. He applied LYS Beauty's No Limits matte bronzer to the high points of my face that naturally get kissed by the sun—the top of my forehead, cheeks, and nose. This gave me a bronzy glow that's perfect for vacation. After adding a lightweight, clear brow gel, Razzano moved onto the eyes. He curled my lashes and applied a waterproof mascara. 'Your lashes are much more likely to fall and go straight when the air itself is heavier,' he says. Milk Makeup's Waterproof Rise Lifting and Lengthening mascara proved to be the star of the show. This was the product I nearly grabbed out of his hand to see what it was—my lashes have never looked that long or that full. And when I'm sweating in the heat or taking a dip in the hotel pool, I won't have to worry about this mascara running or flaking. Kenny is wearing Cay Skin's lip balm with SPF 'The final step in the complexion that I would say is really important is a good setting spray,' says Razzano. He chose One Size's aptly named On' Til Dawn mattifying waterproof setting spray to lock in the makeup. And finally, a little pop of color: 'If you want something really easy, think of a tinted lip balm,' he says. Cay Skin's lip balm added a nice rosy pink tint to my lips and provides SPF 30 protection. Face sunscreen is a part of my daily skincare routine, but I never think to add SPF protection to my lips. It's safe to say this lip balm is now a must-have in my beach bag for on-the-go touch-ups. And voila! It was the perfect amount of makeup—it left me feeling confident and put together, while still being quick and looking effortless. And to my surprise, hours later, my makeup was still going strong—no creasing, melting, or caking in sight. I've already adopted Razzano's heatproof makeup routine and will be wearing it constantly this summer, including on a trip to Scottsdale this July and long days spent down the Jersey Shore. You'll find these water-, sweat-, and heat-proof essentials in my makeup bag all summer long.

Cause of death revealed for Atlanta rapper Young Scooter
Atlanta rapper Young Scooter's cause of death has been revealed days after he died on his 39th birthday. The rapper, real name Kenneth Bailey, died Friday after he injured his leg while fleeing from Atlanta police, who were responding to a 911 call made at a home on William Nye Drive. According to the Fulton County Medical Examiner's Office, Scooter's cause of death was a 'penetrating injury of the right thigh' that led to major blood loss, local news outlet WSB-TV reported. The autopsy additionally noted that the rapper injured himself on a wooden fencing material or woody debris. His death was listed as an accident. Following Scooter's death, reports that he had died after being shot by police began circulating on social media. The Atlanta Police Department later confirmed that no shots had been fired by their officers. 'While we understand that many people are saddened by his passing, it is important to recognize that Atlanta police officers neither discharged their firearms nor used any force against Mr. Bailey,' the police said in a statement per WSB-TV. Authorities previously stated that the 911 call was over 'a dispute with a weapon,' as 'it was advised in the caller marks that shots were fired.' A female was also reportedly 'dragged back inside the location.' 'Once officers arrived they knocked on the door. A male opened the door and immediately shut the door on the officers,' Lieutenant Andrew Smith said during a press conference. 'During [the officers'] process of [then] establishing the perimeter, two males fled out of the rear of the house.' He added: 'One male returned back into the house. The other male jumped two fences as he was fleeing. When officers located him on the other side of the fence, he appeared to have suffered an injury to his leg. 'Officers rendered aid, and he was transported to Grady Hospital, where he was pronounced deceased.' Scooter was identified as the deceased male. Scooter, who burst onto the rap scene in 2008, signed with fellow rapper Future's record label, Freebanz, years later. In 2012, he released his first hit, 'Columbia.' The following year, he also signed with Waka Flocka Flame's record label, Brick Squad Monopoly. Scooter gained notoriety for collaborating with Future on several projects, including Future and the late Juice WRLD's 2018 song, 'Jet Lag.'

Young Scooter's Cause of Death Has Been Revealed
Young Scooter's cause of death has been revealed by the Fulton County Medical Examiner's office. The Atlanta rapper, real name Kenneth Bailey, died after puncturing his thigh and losing too much blood as a result of climbing a wooden fence. 'Mr. Bailey sustained a penetrating injury of his right thigh that created marked blood loss. This injury was not a gunshot wound. Mr. Bailey injured himself on organic (wooden) fencing material and/or woody debris after vaulting at least one fence,' the Medical Examiner shared in a statement to Rolling Stone.

That evening, Atlanta Police Lt. Andrew Smith led a news conference to explain what reportedly happened. According to Smith, police responded to a call about a dispute with a weapon at a home in the Lakewood Heights neighborhood of Atlanta. They set up a perimeter outside of the home where the dispute occurred, after a man shut the door on officers. Two men then fled from the house from the back door, though one returned to the house and the other jumping two fences as he was fleeing. Scooter was reportedly the man who jumped the fences, which the Medical Examiner's ruling confirms. Before the press conference, rumors began to spread that officers shot Scooter, leading to his death. Young Thug, for example, posted on X in a since-deleted post, 'Autopsy came back street got shot,' in reference to the deceased rapper's nickname. Young Scooter made his name on the Billboard charts as a featured artist on Young Thug's 2016 hit, 'Guwop,' also featuring Quavo and Offset of Migos. The track peaked at No. 45 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. He later featured on Future & Juice WRLD's 'Jet Lag' in 2018, which climbed to No. 72 on the Billboard Hot 100.
