Start with a clean, moisturized base. Use a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to hydrate your skin without adding extra oil.
Apply a makeup primer before foundation to create a smooth canvas and help your makeup adhere better to your skin.
Opt for long-wearing or waterproof makeup products, including foundation, concealer, and eyeshadow, to ensure they stay put throughout the day.
Set your makeup with a translucent powder to help absorb excess oil and lock it in place. Focus on areas prone to shine, such as the T-zone.
Use thin layers of makeup to prevent cakiness and melting in the heat. Build coverage gradually rather than applying thick layers all at once.
Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner to prevent smudging and smearing, especially on hot and humid days.
Carry blotting papers or a matte powder with you to touch up and absorb excess oil throughout the day without disturbing your makeup.
Finish your makeup with a setting spray to lock everything in place and extend its wear time.
