From Primer To Setting Spray, A Guide On How To Sweat-Proof Your Make Up

What first comes to your mind when you think of summer? The scorching sun, sweaty skin or the melted make up face?

Living in this tropical weather in Malaysia, we always have to deal with the HEAT. Along with the heat comes the melted make up face, and ain’t nobody got time for that! We feel you ladies, and we are guiding you on how to sweat-proof your make up. From how you prep your skin to the setting sprays you use to lock everything into place, you will want to jot down all of these necessities.

 

1. PRIMER BEFORE FOUNDATION

Some of you might be asking: Does primer actually make a difference? To be honest, yesssss. It’s a base before foundation and it helps your foundation go on smooth and stay in place throughout the day.

Sofina Primavista Long Keep Base UV SPF20

Hands down the best oil-control primer out there on the market. Girls with oily skin, this is for you. Watery texture, but it keeps your skin matte and no more cakey foundation! We can’t seem to find their international website, but it is available at iPrice Malaysia, Sasa, Lazada and Amazon.

M.A.C Prep+Prime Natural Radiance

It’s a makeup primer that’s specifically beneficial for oily and combination skin types, but according to the product reviews, some of them with normal-dry skin loves it too. Not only moisturizes and helps your foundation to glide on, but this primer also has little flecks of shimmer which helps to give your foundation a glow.

It’s in two shades: radiant yellow and radiant pink. Yellow is effective on deeper skin tones while pink for fairer skin tones. You can find it at M.A.C cosmetics stores or Sephora Malaysia.

NYX Hydra Touch Primer

One of the best primers for normal-dry skin! It’s a refreshing lightweight gel-cream with a fresh cucumber-like fragrance. It also enhances your complexion and hydrates your skin at the same time.

 

2. USE LIGHTWEIGHT FOUNDATION

Foundation is such a personal thing, it isn’t going to be everyone’s cup of tea. Also it must suit your skin type (else you will look like an oily frying pan).

Revlon Colourstay 24 Hour Foundation

If you are looking for a long-lasting foundation that won’t break the bank, this is the one. It has two types: For normal/dry skin with SPF 20 and for combination/oily skin with SPF 15. It also comes with various shades and has medium coverage.

Bobbi Brown Skin Long-Wear Weightless Foundation SPF15

No matter you have normal or oily skin and looking for a silky and weightless foundation, this is something you need to try. Described by the brand, it’s a full coverage foundation that delivers a natural matte finish. It also helps to conceal redness and improves your complexion. How weightless is it? It feels like your second-skin, waterproof and sweat resistant. Sounds good. Perfect for hot weather!

NARS All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation

It’s a foundation for all skin types and has 20 shades. Lightweight, full coverage, luminosity, last long for 16 hours with just one drop. And most importantly, humidity and sweat resistant!

 

3. WATERPROOF EYELINER

Imagine if one eyeliner is not waterproof or sweat-resistant, oh no, everything is smudged. You get the picture, it’s horrible.

Kiss Me Heroine Make Smooth Liquid Eyeliner

Best drugstore eyeliner ever. Besides waterproof, sweat and tears proof, this liquid eyeliner comes with a quick-dry formula to prevent smudges and smears. With the ultra-fine tip which is 0.1mm, it gives you total control to create precise lines and perfect flicks. Want more? It’s long-wearing and without the need of touch-ups!

Make Up For Ever Aqua XL Eye Pencil Extra Long Lasting Waterproof Eye Pencil

Due to the long-lasting formula, this eye pencil will not smudge, crease or fade until you remove it.

Available in 20 shades, it features shades that range from everyday neutrals to bright pastel pops. For the everyday look, we recommend the shade #M10-matte black, #M14-matte charcoal grey, #S50-satiny taupe and #M60-matte dark brown.

 

4. USE SETTING POWDER AND SETTING SPRAY

How can someone with makeup live without setting powder or setting spray? Like what we’ve mentioned before, you need them to lock everything into place, especially in this blistering heat!

Make Up For Ever Ultra HD Microfinish Powder

Ultra HD powder is a super high definition and weightless finishing powder that makes your skin look flawless. It’s now an essential step to create a smooth and airbrushed makeup look. This loose powder is perfect for every skin tones too, we really love how it blurs out all the skin’s imperfections.

Tarte Smooth Operator Amazonian Clay Finishing Powder

This microfine loose powder balances all skin types to absorb oil and minimize the appearance of pores. It blends into any skin tone effortlessly and set your foundation into a breathable matte finish. If you have extremely oily skin, this is a lifesaver!

NYX Professional Matte/Dewy Finish Setting Spray

NYX setting spray is one of the makeup products that everyone raves about. But some of you might be having this question: What are the differences between matte and dewy? It depends on your skin type. If you have oily skin, we would not recommend the dewy spray. If your skin is normal or dry, stay away from the matte.

Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray

Listen, this spray gives your makeup a serious staying power without melting and fading. Unlike similar products on the market, this spray has microfine mist that goes on light and weightless until you hardly feel it.

 

5. BRING ALONG OIL CONTROL FILM

In case if you are still afraid of the heat and sweats even after applying all the sweat-proof and long-lasting makeup products, bring along oil control film to remove excess oil and stickiness instantly. Keep your skin fresh and clean!

Clean & Clear Oil Control Film

 

That’s it for the guides. Also, stay indoors to avoid the scorching sun. Hope our picks of these sweat-proof beauty products are helpful!

2026新年最后冲刺!懒人必收藏「偷懒减脂法」,教你不知不觉养出好身材!

每到新年,总会在「我要瘦」和「算了先吃」之间来回横跳。立下的减脂目标写得比红包还红,真正执行却比假期结束还短暂。于是 2026 年,越来越多人选择换一条路走。不是不想瘦,而是不想再用节食和高强度运动,去换短暂的数字安慰。 原来,不节食、不运动,并不等于放弃身材管理。当生活节奏慢慢调整、身体开始习惯更舒服的状态,减脂这件事,反而悄悄发生了。那些看似「很偷懒」的小改变,正在不知不觉中,帮你养出一个更轻盈、更稳定的好身材 图片来源:小红书@赵露思 偷懒减脂法一:饮料换水,不节食 新年少不了聚会和饮料,与其逼自己全戒,不如换一种更聪明的选择。把奶茶、可乐换成气泡水、无糖绿茶或黑咖啡,每天就能默默少掉好几百大卡的热量。重点是替代感够强,嘴巴不委屈,身体却先瘦了一步。 https://www.instagram.com/p/CwACXOZBdVR/?img_index=1 偷懒减脂法二:晚餐不吃主食,但一定要吃饱 不吃晚餐换来的,往往是半夜的暴食反扑。真正有效的方式,是把晚餐里的精制淀粉拿掉,而不是拿掉整顿饭。多补充蛋白质和膳食纤维,用红薯取代白饭,多吃鱼肉、牛肉和蔬菜,让身体有饱足感,也更稳定不囤脂。 (图片来源:小红书@欧阳娜娜Nana) 偷懒减脂法三:利用碎片时间动一动 维持线条,不一定非得走进健身房。饭后站立 15 到…

Jennie一穿就火!2026最该入手的「裤款弯刀裤」,又帅又松弛的时髦答案!

如果你最近刷到Jennie的私服,总觉得哪里不一样,却又说不上来,那大概率就是那条线条干净、裤管微微弯起的库款弯刀裤在作怪。它不像西装裤那么正式,也不走运动裤的随意路线,却刚刚好卡在“帅”和“松弛感”的中间点,随便搭一件白T或短版针织都能时髦上线。2026年的时尚关键词已经很明确了,不再是用力打扮,而是看起来毫不费力却很会穿,而这条被Jennie穿火的弯刀裤,正是这个趋势里最百搭又最舒服的存在。 弯刀裤穿搭灵感:性感帅气反差感 弯刀裤本身线条偏中性,但一搭上细肩带、紧身背心或露腰上衣,整个氛围立刻被拉进Jennie式的性感区间。上身是辣妹的自信,下身是帅气利落的轮廓,那种若有似无的反差感,比全身贴身还要更有吸引力,随便一转身都很有态度。 (图片来源:小红书@桑桑子) (图片来源:小红书@林诗琦NICKI) 弯刀裤穿搭灵感:上紧下松万能公式 2026年的时髦重点不是“穿很多”,而是“穿对比例”。弯刀裤的微弯裤型已经帮你把下半身撑出线条感,只要上身选合身剪裁或短版设计,整个人就会看起来又高又瘦。这套公式几乎零失败,不管是日常出门还是周末约会,都能轻松赢很大。 (图片来源:小红书@Jaseanhh) 弯刀裤穿搭灵感:上短下长的比例魔法 当短版上衣遇上弯刀裤,那种腿直接延伸到地面的错觉会立刻出现。高腰弧形裤管把腰线悄悄往上推,再加一点露肤感,整个人会有一种Jennie私服里常见的轻盈与自信,看起来不刻意,却很会穿。 (图片来源:小红书@爷爷Grandpapa) 弯刀裤穿搭灵感:街头慵懒感 弯刀裤最迷人的地方,就是它怎么搭都不显得用力。一件宽松卫衣、一双球鞋或棒球帽,就能把它拉进那种很2026的街头松弛感路线。走路带风,却又带点随性,就像刚好路过街拍现场一样,自带滤镜。 (图片来源:小红书@赖很凶) 延伸阅读:…
