Does anyone have any recommendations?

I use eve lom radiance primer but my makeup is all over the place after an hour in this heat!

Speaking from experience radiance primers tend to be more moisturising therefore they just slide off in the heat, I'd go for one that is mattifying. I'm currently using No7 stay perfect primer, then a creamy foundation (Dior Star) then I top it up with a light dusting of powder. Also give you moisturizer time to sink in before applying your make up.

Thanks buster, you're right about radiance primers!

I've just got Nyx waterproofing eye primer as my eyelids are starting to droop and it's amazing, no transfer whatsoever.

I've also used the Smashbox clear one. It was also very good. It definitely use a powder to set everything after. I'm currently in a very hot country and using the primer and the powder helps. Powder wise I have Clinique double mat (I think). It's definitely double something!

Smashbox is really good and they have one for eyes too which keeps eye make up in place for ages! Also Urban Decay all nighters make up setting spray is fantastic!

I'm sticking with my usual primer but finishing off with a setting spray.

Just googled the urban decay setting spay-it sounds amazing, will def be getting some of that!

Oh this is a handy wee thread. Need to check out the nyx eye primer, I always end up with mascara and liner under my eyes.
