Makeup for Caribbean holiday.

Hi.
I’m going to Antigua in a month and starting to get bits and pieces together.
I’ve got fairly bad skin on my face. I’m pale skinned but prone to redness, acne spots etc. I normally wear quite a bit of foundation and look ok!
I’m wondering what make up people would recommend to take on holiday. We are staying in a fairly naice hotel and even if I wear very little during the day I’ll want to smarten up a bit in the evening. I think my usual foundation will be too pale. Would you just buy a darker colour? Or things like bb creams/bronzers etc? I’m totally clueless!

IT cosmetics bb cream works well in hot humid countries.

I have just been to menorca very warm and hot around 26 to 29 tem ( hot for me ) and I wore IT cc cream, it lasted all day on me, which is strange as in this country I am lucky to get to around 4 o'clock with it still on, I do put a little powder on top to. Plus you get factor 50 with it.

Thanks. I’ll look into that.

Use a spray 'set' over your makeup to hold it in the humidity...worked in Greece last summer!!
