Why Your Makeup Melts Off in the Heat...And How to Fix It
I know exactly how it goes…because it’s happened to me. You leave the house looking flawless…your base is glowing and then 20 minutes in, it all goes downhill. The heat doesn’t care about your plans. Your foundation slips, your T-zone is sliding off, and your blush…is gone.
Skin Prep is your First Line of Defense
This is where most people go wrong. You can’t slap makeup on overly prepped skin and expect miracles.
Start with lightweight, non-greasy skincare. Ditch the rich creams for gel-based moisturizers or hydrating serums with humectants like glycerin or hyaluronic acid.
Wait between layers - this is SO IMPORTANT! I give each step 2-3 minutes to absorb before moving on. It makes all the difference.
Try a skin-prep spray. Something like MAC Fix+ or Charlotte Tilbury Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray before foundation works like primer but feels weightless.
