When the temperature rises and the humidity sets in, keeping your makeup in place can feel like a challenge. The heat can cause makeup to slip, fade, or settle into fine lines—but with the right products and techniques, you can achieve a flawless, long-lasting look. Whether you’re heading out for a summer event or just tackling a hot day, Saint Minerals® has everything you need for a heatproof, sweat-resistant, and fresh finish all day long.
Choose the Right Foundation for Long-Lasting Wear
The key to heatproof makeup starts with selecting the right foundation for your skin type and coverage preference. Lightweight, breathable formulas are a must to ensure your skin stays comfortable without feeling heavy or greasy.
• For a natural, dewy finish: Our BB Cream is perfect for those who love a barely-there look with a luminous glow. It hydrates the skin while evening out the complexion, making it ideal for everyday wear in warm weather.
• For medium to full coverage: Our Liquid Mineral Foundation provides a satin finish with buildable coverage, ensuring a flawless base that won’t feel heavy or cakey.
• For a breathable, matte finish: Our Loose Mineral Foundation is an excellent choice for those with oilier skin types or who want a powder foundation that allows the skin to breathe while providing great coverage.
• For a pressed powder option: Our Pressed Mineral Foundation is a great choice for on-the-go touch-ups, controlling shine, and adding extra longevity to your base.
Prime + Set: The Secret to All-Day Wear
A good base is the foundation of long-lasting makeup. Using a primer before applying your foundation helps smooth the skin, blur imperfections, and ensure your makeup stays in place—even in the hottest conditions.
• Start with the Saint Minerals® Mineral Primer
Our Mineral Primer creates a silky, lightweight barrier that helps your foundation adhere to the skin while minimising the appearance of pores and fine lines. It also prevents excess oil production, keeping your makeup looking fresh and balanced throughout the day.
• Lock it in with the Saint Minerals® Mineral Veil
The final step to heatproofing your makeup is setting it with our Mineral Veil. This ultra-fine powder creates a soft, airbrushed effect while controlling shine and preventing your makeup from melting away in the heat.
Switch to Powder Formulas for Longer Wear
When it comes to heat-resistant makeup, powder formulas are your best friend. They absorb excess oil, last longer, and don’t break down as easily in the heat.
• Matte Bronzer: Our Pressed Matte Bronzer adds warmth and dimension to your complexion without the risk of becoming patchy or shiny. Apply it to the high points of your face where the sun naturally hits.
• Powder Blush: Instead of a creamy blush that might slide off, opt for our Pressed Blush to add a fresh, radiant flush that stays put.
Heatproof Eye Makeup for All-Day Wear
When the humidity is high, your eye makeup can be the first to smudge. Opt for powder eyeshadows and blend them well for a soft, long-wearing finish.
• Use neutral matte or shimmer shades from our SAINT MINERALS® Eyeshadow Range to create an effortless, long-lasting look.
• Keep brows in place with our Brow Butter, which sculpts and sets for all-day definition.
Bonus Tips for Keeping Your Makeup Fresh in the Heat
• Blot, don’t reapply: Instead of adding more powder throughout the day, use blotting papers to remove excess oil without disturbing your makeup.
• Less is more: Avoid heavy layers of makeup. Stick to lightweight formulas that allow your skin to breathe.
• Hydrate your skin: Drink plenty of water and keep your skin moisturised to prevent your makeup from looking cakey or patchy.
