Cruelty-Free Makeup Tutorial | How to Make Your Foundation Last in Heat and Humidity
I wanted to share my routine for how to make your foundation last in heat and humidity. As you know, I live in Tampa Florida, and Central Florida is hot and humid for much of the year. This cruelty-free foundation routine gives me a flawless base all day. It keeps my dry, sensitive skin happy and it doesn’t cake up on me because I use about 50% less foundation than normal. I’ve tested this and gotten 12 hours of wear with 3 hours sitting outside in the heat and humidity.

I did touch up my pink hair this weekend. I used Pravana Wild Orchid (mixed with a tiny bit of Manic Panic Cotton Candy Pink and some Ion Color Brilliance in Magenta) to revive the color. I basically was trying to use up what I had on hand. I love how it turned out.
I love how the UD One & Done really looks like skin vs. a heavy mask of foundation. This method of applying foundation uses less product than normal, feels like I have very little makeup on, and lasts all day. I love it. While this definitely works for me and my dry skin, I think it would work for oily skin as well, if you chose the right setting powder.
How do you make your foundation last during the Summer?

Waving from northern Lake County ? the struggle is real in keeping our foundation from melting here in Florida..the summer is the worst time with the humidity. Urban Decay definitely keeps my makeup on my face and not dripping down my neck lol
Thank you so much for these tips. In Melbourne it is very hot and humid in summer – we have just had the longest and most humid summer ever. I didn’t know that you could use powder before your foundation like you did and I am going to get some of that Silk Naturals Illuminating powder and setting spray to use. Love your hair and your make up look.
I need to try the UD one & done – it looks great on you!
I would think that Florida, depending on which area in Florida, probably is pretty consistent with the humidity where I live in Mississippi. Any makeup routine that will last in the heat of the summer months says much about the products. Thanks for sharing what you use.
Great tips. When it gets hot here, I forego silicone primer, use mineral veil under and over powder foundation, and use setting spray. But it’s not constantly hot and humid here in Oregon, thank goodness.
This advice couldn’t have come at a better time.. this spring weather has me ending my days looking like a melted mess!
I need to grab that UP spray for when I go home to India! The heat and humidity are killers!
I can’t get over how much I love your hair. And great tips! Saving for later when it gets hotter here
Awesome tips 🙂 But I can’t stop looking at your makeup look and your hair… I love the combination there – gorgeous.
Great tips!! I also love the hair 🙂
I needed your tips while I was in hot, humid Houston yesterday!! I’m bookmarking this post.
Great tips! You look radiant, and I love the idea of spaying the beauty blender because I hate misting directly onto my face.
What a gorgeous look and I love your pink hair.
It gets humid here in AZ during the monsoon and I hate it! I can’t imagine having to tolerate that nonsense year round. 😛
Great tips. I’m always forgetting a setting spray when I’m in a hurry.
Great tips. Thanks for sharing
I will definitely put these tips to use. I can’t even imagine living somewhere hot/humid for more than a few months at a time though.
My foundation doesn’t last as long as I like and it’s not even hot yet. I’ll have to pull products and try this out.
As a Louisiana girl, these tips are much appreciated.
Great tips to extend the life of your foundations! If that works for you in Florida, then it will definitely work for me in LA! I absolutely love how vibrant your hair color is after your touch-up! GORGEOUS!!!!!
I have never used a setting spray. If summer ever gets here, I’ll get one!
