Masks and make up

[RiseUpWiseUpEyesUp]

Hey all, I really need some advice on either a foundation that will not run off on masks or a mask that is better at being less sweaty and not taking my make up off!

I have really bad skin and cannot leave the house without foundation on unfortunately. I have to wear a fluid resistant mask for work and they are SO sweaty. Have been coping so far as I work mostly alone so I can touch up as needed, but I am starting university full time next week and am panicking

Could you get away with makeup just in the most visible areas as the mask will cover most of your face up anyway. You could pop into the loo to touch up when you have to take the mask off for longer periods.

@TantricTwist not really, because I can’t be around other people at all without foundation on (I don’t really wear any other make up, it’s just to cover up my horrible skin). I can pop to the toilet but I don’t know how often I’ll be able to get there.

I’m probably catastrophising a bit, but I’ve never been to uni and starting aged 31 is nerve wracking on its own!

I’ve been using Urban Decay all nighter setting spray and it’s been working for me. It even works when I go to the gym and swimming after work and I can’t be bothered to take my make up off - I was astonished about that. It’s quite spendy though.
