A BEAUTY enthusiast has revealed how she was able to keep her makeup from sweating off at a hot wedding abroad.
She used affordable products to transform her appearance rather than hiring a professional makeup artist.
The woman shared her full beauty routine on Reddit’s Drugstore MUA forum in response to a post discussing long-wear products.
She said her makeup didn’t budge when she used several budget-friendly items on her face.
“I went to a very hot wedding without A/C in Italy recently, and I also tend to get sweaty,” she said, writing under the handle Blubasile.
“My skin is more normal/combo than super oily.”
She prepared her skin for makeup using e.l.f. Poreless Putty Primer on her face and Wet n Wild Photofocus eyeshadow primer on her eyes.
Imperfections were disguised using, Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer.
She then used Wet n Wild Photofocus loose banana powder to set her makeup before applying L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray.
“I sprayed generously before leaving the house, partially dried with a fan, and then pressed it in with my beauty blender,” she said.
“My face didn’t move an inch AND it really melted the makeup into my skin giving a super natural look.”
L’Oreal Paris Makeup Infallible Pro-Spray And Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray costs $22.58 at Walmart.
According to the brand, the “lightweight” product replaces the need for “midday makeup touch-ups” as it keeps everything in place without settling into fine lines.
They recommend closing the eyes before spraying the product from 8 to 10 away in an “X & T motion.”
The Redditor completed her look by applying Maybelline Tattoo Studio Waterproof Gel Line on her waterline.
She then used Maybelline Hyper Easy Waterproof Liquid Liner on her eyelids.
She used Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect mascara in both regular and waterproof versions.
“I like to layer waterproof on top of regular mascara to protect my lashes,” she said.
“I tend to get either teary-eyed or oily in the corners of my eyes, so I always take care to bake that area.”

Many people upvoted the post and a top commenter said her routine was “super helpful” ahead of their visit to Italy.
The tips come after Katie Walker, who is the deputy editor of Beauty Answers, shared how to prevent sweat stains throughout summer.
She recommended swapping deodorants for antiperspirants to reduce sweating.
She said the best results are achieved by applying antiperspirants to “clean, dry skin.”
“For extra protection, try wearing an undershirt made from moisture-wicking fabrics,” Walker added.
