Hot and humid weather can make makeup feel heavier and cause shine, fading or separation. The solution is not always more makeup. Better skin preparation, lighter layers and the right setting products can make a noticeable difference.
Prep your skin first
Start with clean, moisturised skin and give skincare time to settle before makeup. During hot weather, avoid applying more skincare than you need.
Choose foundation for your finish
For oily or combination skin, a foundation with a suitable matte or natural finish may feel more comfortable. Dry skin may prefer a more hydrating formula. Shade matching is more important than choosing a foundation simply because it is popular.
Use thin layers
Apply foundation and concealer in thin layers and build coverage only where needed. Heavy layers are more likely to feel uncomfortable as the day gets hotter.
Set strategically
Powder can help control shine in areas where you need it. A setting spray can help finish the look and improve wear according to the product's directions.
