Sweat-proof tips to prevent your makeup from melting in Singapore's humidity
Prep work is important

A primer prolongs the life of your foundation, so it’s ideal for the shine-prone T-zone. The trick is to let it dry for at least a minute before you apply anything on top. If you have fine lines around your eyes and/ or mouth, use one with blur technology.

Try a sheer foundation

When it’s hot, the less you apply to your skin the better. A makeup sponge makes applying a light layer of foundation or tinted moisturiser effortless. Follow up by dusting finishing powder on your T-zone to set your look and reduce shine.

Concealer is your friend

Concealer is a magic wand for reducing the appearance of dark circles, redness, and blemishes. For lasting coverage and to keep your makeup from melting, use a long-wearing concealer, but apply sparingly and blend well.

Add colour with a powder blush

Adding colour to your cheeks brings your complexion to life. Powder blush handles the heat better than cream blush but for a dewy glow, go cream.

Pick a lipstain over a lipstick

Long-wearing lipsticks and stains last for hours, so when it comes to application, take care. First, follow your lip contour to create a clean outline then fill in your lips with your choice of colour.

Waterproof mascara lasts longer

Mascara thickens the look of lashes and frames your eyes, so it’s always worth applying. In hot and humid conditions, use a waterproof formula.
