SWEAT PROOF MAKEUP

With temps heating up you may find that your makeup breaks down, slides off, or simply just fades away. So today I am going to give you the blueprint for sweat proof makeup... it's all about layering correctly to make your perfect 'makeup sandwich'.

Sweat Proof Makeup Sandwich

Preppers

This layer is the most crucial! The product you use directly next to your skin will determine how well your makeup can withstand sweat and oil. This is a barrier layer to protect your makeup's longevity.

• Mehron Mattifying Skin Toner

• Carpe Sweat Absorbing Face Cream

Complexion

Next we add our complexion products: foundation and concealer. If you have one you already love, stick with it, but if you're looking for a foundation with even more staying power, these two won't let you down.

• Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation

• Wet n Wild Photo Focus Matte Stick Foundation

Powder Set

Our first setting layer comes next to lock in our complexion products using powder. A finely milled setting powder will keep everything in place and serve as a sweat and oil absorber. 

• Makeup Forever HD Skin Perfecting Loose Powder

Color Layer

This is the layer in which we add all of our color products like bronzer, blush, eye shadow, brows and lips. For added longevity lay down cream products first and then layer with powder products to set. ie; a cream blush topped with a powder blush

• Patrick Ta Double Take Cream & Powder Blush Duo

Liquid Set

Our final set to seal everything together should be a liquid spray. This is the final layer so you can choose the type of finish you want here, but for the most sweat proof option a matte version will be the most long lasting.

• One/Size Beauty On' Til Dawn Matte Waterproof Setting Spray
