Prep and Prime
Prep your skin to ensure that the makeup lasts longer. The first step is to clean your face with a gentle cleanser, followed by a lightweight moisturizer with SPF. Then, apply a primer formulated specifically for hot and humid weather followed by a water-resistant sunscreen.
Lightweight Base
Swap heavy foundations for lightweight alternatives during the summer months. Tinted moisturizers, BB creams, or water-based foundations offer coverage while allowing your skin to breathe. Opt for oil-free and water-resistant formulas.
Waterproof Everything
To achieve a sweat-proof look, switch to waterproof or water-resistant makeup products. Mascara, eyeliner, and eyeshadows that are resistant to smudging and fading will withstand heat and humidity.
Set with Powder
After applying your makeup, set it in place with a lightweight translucent powder. Concentrate on your T-zone and areas prone to sweating. This step helps control shine, minimizes oiliness, and ensures your makeup stays intact throughout the day.
Blotting Papers
Keep a pack of blotting papers in your purse for quick touch-ups on the go. Blotting papers gently absorb excess oil and sweat without disturbing your makeup. They leave your skin refreshed and matte, helping you maintain a sweat-proof look.
