Good makeup for extreme humidity. please help!?

I will be spending a month in the Yucatan, Mexico in July. Temp stays between 85-105 and humidity also up to the 80% range. I'm looking for a sheer foundation (CoverGirl used to make one that I loved but not anymore...urrrr) that won't look heavy but will stay on. Also, any suggestions of mascara, eyeliner or anything else that has lasted for you in similar weather. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks!Good makeup for extreme humidity. please help!?
For eyeshadow, eyeliner and mascara .. try this:

She-Laq will keep your makeup on allllll day! Use with waterproof eyeliner and waterproof mascara. I use Dior Waterproof eyeliner and DiorShow waterproof mascara. Though any eyeliner underneath She-Laq will work fine.





I also agree that you should try out some mineral makeup. Bare Minerals is great, I love it .. there is also Youngblood, Arbonne and Everyday Minerals.


Here are some loose powders: http://www.sephora.com/browse/section.jh鈥?/a>





A makeup primer will help keep your makeup on ALL day:

Smash Box Primer is one of the best! I'm actually going out to buy it this weekened.

Have fun!Good makeup for extreme humidity. please help!?
i live in indonesia where humid is crazy... switch foundation with tinted moisturizer with SPF... use long lasting concealer for blemishes (laura mercier secret camouflage lasts long)...


switch powder products with cream or gel based.. for example, use gel/cream blush instead of powder blush (gel is better for oilier skins and cream is better for drier skin).. use cream shadow instead of powder ones or use your cream blush as eyeshadow for monochromatic look..


switch into waterproof mascara.. i swear by ANY of l'ancome's waterproof mascara.. they really really do last..


also switch into waterproof, sweatproof, smudgeproof eyeliner.. MAC's powerpoint eyeliner is a good splurge.. for something cheaper, Styli-Style 24/7 is good.. or urban decay eye liners are also good esp for their range of colors!


for lips, tinted lip balm with SPF gives color and protection from the sun!
The other girls have it covered according to foundation, so I will just suggest you leave the eyeliner off as it will run and look horrible. Wear a nice waterproof mascara, something from CoverGirl. And have fun!
everything from bare minerals is really good
foundation melts off my skin in the summer.





this summer so far, i've been using:


physicians formula loose mineral makeup. it's about 12 dollars and it comes with a neat little professional-looking brush.


bronzer on my cheeks. (maybelline)


one coat of mascara. two if it isn't as hot outside.(i use wet 'n wild 'cuz it's only about 3-4 dollars)


chapstick/and or lipgloss.(personal fave is bonne bell lipgloss, it's yummy)
Bare Minerals. Their foundation and mineral veil work wonders, you can use their liner shadows with an eyeliner brush and their weather everything sealant to create great waterproof liner. Mascara, I would reccomend covergirl lash exact or l'oreal telescopic.
Loose the heavy foundation..





Mineral makeup is the it thing now. It gives you a nice and natural coverage but less of that makeupy feeling. Try Bare Minerals from Bare Escentuals. You can sample at Sephora's.





You could also use a good oil control lotion or primer, concealer, and a good loose powder..





Most brandname eyeshadows are good but they wear off in time. If you want longwear, invest in primers for the eyes and the lashes. Primers are creams or conditioners that you apply before the main makeup. The makeup holds onto the prime to give you longer wear.





Hope this helps....





Mac Cosmetics is a great brand, you can find at Nordstroms.
I live in a humidity area, and right now the temp is around 100+, I usually use MAC cosmetics you can buy it online or at Nordstrom!
Try mineral makeup, like Bare Escentuals. It stays on in the heat, I know that. Neutrogena makes mineral makeup, too, and it works really well. Both brands have eye shadows and blush. Lots of companies are making it now, but those are the ones I've tried. Bare Escentuals also has a mascara and some really good lip colors...you can get it on the QVC website. Mineral makeup is easy to use, looks great, and stays where you put it...all day...without streaking or rubbing off. Good luck.
