A make-up meltdown under the summer heat is a nightmarish situation for most of us. While many recommend blotting or using water-proof makeup (an expensive investment and a pain to take off), there’s more to it than meets the eye to keep your make-up sealed in place all day long. Here’s a list of simple tasks you can incorporate in your daily beauty regime to stay flawless under the sun.

1 SPRAY, SET AND GO

Setting sprays have recently earned a spot under the limelight thanks to a massive push from beauty gurus and for good reason too. A setting spray not only makes your make-up look well-blended but makes sure all that hard work you put in adheres to your skin. For the humid weather, it’s always safer to reach out for a matte setting spray that’ll keep the oil at bay. While buying one, it’s better to invest in a spray that comes with a nozzle that sprays a fine mist or goes for a spray that comes in an aerosol bottle. Those with sensitive skin should stay miles away from sprays that contain alcohol and fragrance.
