For brides in Dubai, the constant battle with humidity and heat is not new when it comes to keeping their makeup on fleek all day. Though, if you employ the right techniques and products, your look can last as good as it looks from the ceremony to time for the reception. So, here are some tips that will help you get long-sealed wedding makeup even in the sizzling weather of Dubai.
Start with a Strong Base
Skincare Preparation
Skincare is one of the most important aspects to consider before putting on any makeup! Always begin with a good cleansing to purge the skin of excess oil and dirt. Apply a light moisturizing cream that is hydrating but not heavy. A mattifying primer is also very important to create that smooth canvas while keeping the shine at bay all day long!
Choose the Right Primer
Use a primer made for humidity A good primer also gives your makeup an extra chance to hold on, and acts as a barrier against sweat and humidity so that your foundation sticks for longer.
Go For Long Lasting And Waterproof Products
Foundation and Concealer
Opt for long-staying, waterproof products such as foundation and concealer that are made to sustain heat and humidity. Cream products work great because they melt into the skin and won’t cake or streak when you sweat, she says. They give full coverage while looking very natural.
Waterproof Formulas
In fact, stay away from mascara and eyeliner that are not waterproof so you can avoid smudging and running. On emotional moments of the ceremony when tears flow this is very important.
Set Your Makeup
Translucent Powder
Use a translucent powder to set your makeup after applying your foundation and concealer. It was a way to soak away all that extra oil and maintain your makeup fresh. Apply over areas that typically get oily, specifically the T-zone.
Setting Spray
The last step is using a reliable high-quality setting spray designed for humid conditions to complement your makeup. This helps keep your makeup in place and acts as a further barrier between sweat/humidity and your face.
Select Makeup Techniques Accordingly
Layering Products
When you put on make up, do not apply it thick but thin layers. It lets every layer to dry properly and minimizes the chance of makeup slipping off in heat.
Blush and Eyeshadow
Use creams instead of powders for blush and eyeshadow. Cream products are more stick to skin and provide a natural finish, so they work better in humid weather.
Have Touch-up Necessities Within Reach
Touch-Up Kit
Put together a travel-size touch up kit to carry with you during the day. Add papers to soak up excess oil without moving your makeup and bring along your lipstick or lip gloss for touch-ups during the night.
Emergency Fixes
Your touch-up kit should be ready so if you see a shiny forehead or running eyeliner, just fix it then and there.
Stay Hydrated and Cool
Drink Water
Hydration is key to healthy skin, and ensuring makeup stays fresh. Drink lots of water and keep your skin hydrated from inside out!!
Cooling Techniques
A byproduct of this is that during the day, you might need to refresh it and keep your skin cool — you can use a handheld fan or cooling mist for that as well. This helps as excess sweating can result in loss of fresh make up look.
