Heat/humidity-proof make-up

Eledamorena · 05/06/2018 12:02

I'm relocating to Bangkok in July and would appreciate any tips on make-up that will work in the heat and humidity... any ideas? I will have air conditioning at home and work but even a few minutes outside during the journey there will likely leave me a bit of a sweaty mess!

I don't wear heavy make-up anyway but I'd feel a bit naked with nothing at all. I'm especially keen to find a sweat-proof mascara, eyeliner, and maybe something for my eyebrows.

Thanks for any tips!

I find Bangkok much more pleasant in July/August the rain really freshens things up. I would just get a brow/eyelish tint and lip gloss. No make up stays on for me in high heat and humidity.

Same here in Spain - waterproof mascara, lip balm and spf, everything else just sweats off !

OP, you will eventually get used to the heat/humidity..... a good mineral powder (mac) will help with shine, Estée Lauder double wear foundation..... but there are some days it will come off regardless. A light tan hides a multitude of sins. I don't use waterproof mascara, and use same eye brow pencil (mac) they generally stay put, even throughout a tough training session. Happy moving OP ! I live in the tropics, so fair amount of trial and error. And some days ... nothing will save your hair - fact !

Thanks for responses! I have chucked a LOAD of make-uo already as I guessed it would be down to basics in the heat.

And don't get me started on hair...!!! 😂
