Makeup challenges in heat and humidity

Applying makeup and maintaining it for a long time in hot and humid weather can be a difficult task. After applying foundation, the face looks good for some time, but as soon as you step out, the face becomes dull again. Sometimes the skin also becomes patchy and oily. It becomes a challenge to get it right again and again. But it is possible to wear sweat-proof makeup even in heat and humidity. In this article, we will tell you some important tips on applying foundation in humidity.

Special tips for applying foundation

In hot and humid weather, the way you apply makeup is very important to keep the foundation set on the face.

Use of cleanser and moisturizer

Before applying makeup, use a gentle cleanser and then apply a light, non-greasy moisturizer. It is important to hydrate the skin before applying foundation, but not so much that the foundation does not apply properly.

Choosing the Right Primer

It is very important to choose the right primer so that the face does not look dull again after a few hours. In summers, oil absorbing matte primer is best.

Using Waterproof Foundation

Always use waterproof foundation in humid weather. If it’s silicone-based, even better. Such foundations form a barrier against moisture for the skin and should contain ingredients like hyaluronic and niacinamide, so that the skin does not look heavy.


thin layer of foundation

If you think that applying more foundation gives better coverage, then it is wrong. In fact, the first thin layer of foundation should always be applied on the face, so that your skin will not look uneven.

How to set foundation

After applying foundation, apply powder only so that the skin neither looks too cakey nor too dry. After applying the powder, tap it with the help of a sponge, so that it sets well into the skin. This makes makeup last longer.
