Tips to Sweat Proof Make-up



     


Even if you're not getting soaked or crying under the hot sun, the best thing you need is definitely a WATERPROOF product especially for the eyes. The key to a Sweat Proof Make-up is your foundation. Try and find something that has SPF in it or is meant for this hot weather such as Smashbox Camera Ready BB Cream. Products that has SPF in it protects your skin from the sun and since I went to River Safari, I definitely need to do a  Sweat Proof Make-up on myself which I did! Now let's get started with my tips. Or should I say; I think they are quite Sweat Proof as it does for me. Hah!

First things first, I applied a base and my base is L'oreal True Match BB in Gold BB. I applied a tiny amount enough to cover any imperfections and blend it well using my brush. This helps to absorb the second layer that I will be applying next and prevent the makeup from smudging or wiped off unless you use a make-up remover. 

As mentioned, next, I will be applying my ALL TIME FAVORITE Farmasi CC Cream. Apply a generous amount and if you want more coverage, you can apply 2 layers of this. Usually I apply only 1 layer and blend them wellllll... The key is; BLENDING! ;) Now you're almost done. You may apply concealer if you think you need extra coverage especially under those eyes but I don't. I'm never a fan of concealer (they crease too much).

After which, I use the fluffiest brush (RT Blush Brush) to apply powder on all over my face and neck to set the products on my face. Be sure not to apply too much else you'll look like an old lady with lots or wrinkles due to the creasing from the powder and makes your skin super dry! Again, be generous. Not greedy! 

Basically these two steps are the key to my Sweat Proof Make-up. Easy isn't it? I am not sure whether this apply to all kinds of skin types but I do have a combination of dry & oily skin and this works perfectly fine. I never touch up my makeup but I just pat off the excess oil on my T-zone area with a tissue.

Not forgetting WATERPROOF Mascara and eyeliner if you don't want to look like a Panda alright! All the best!
