On hot, humid days, getting your base to stay put can feel like a losing battle. This primer changes that. It has a silky, lightweight texture that smooths over pores and grips onto foundation without feeling sticky or heavy. It gives your skin a soft glow without making it greasy and actually helps your makeup stay in place when the weather isn’t playing nice. Think of it as the first step in preventing mid-day makeup meltdowns.

This is one of those concealers that just works, no matter what your day looks like. The creamy texture blends easily with fingers or a brush and once it sets, it doesn’t budge. Whether you’re covering under-eye circles or a breakout that decided to show up uninvited, it holds up well through sweat, humidity and long hours. No creasing, no slipping–just solid coverage that stays where you put it.  

This is the makeup fixer that’s everywhere right now—yes, the one from viral K-beauty brand Tirtir. Not only does it lock in your makeup, but also guards your against environmental stressors. And it’s got centella asiatica, the soothing ingredient that calms dry, irritated skin. Bonus: It helps prevent breakouts by absorbing excess sebum and leaving behind an airbrushed, soft-focus finish. Using it is a breeze: just shake the bottle, spray it in an X and T motion from a few inches away and your makeup is locked and loaded for the day.

Setting sprays might feel like an extra step, but in this heat? Totally worth it. This one from TIRTIR acts like a topcoat for your makeup, locking everything in with a light mist that feels refreshing, not sticky. It keeps your base from sliding off your face even after hours in the sun or under a mask. Bonus—it helps your makeup look more natural and lived-in as the day goes on, not patchy or uneven.

On days when you’re aiming for a my-skin-but-better look, the right cherry red lip tint can help you ace the assignment. This is where Sheglam’s lip and cheek tint comes in with buildable coverage and a watery, lightweight texture that is so light, you may even forget it’s there.

If you want a natural flush that actually sticks around, this little tint is a great find. The gel-cream texture blends out easily on both lips and cheeks and once it sets, it’s there for the long haul. Perfect for no-makeup makeup days or when you just want to look fresh despite the heat. It doesn’t feel sticky or greasy and you don’t have to worry about it vanishing the second things get sweaty.

Humidity and eyeliner don’t always mix—but this one doesn’t flake or smudge, even when the temperature spikes. The felt-tip applicator gives you good control whether you’re doing a bold wing or a simple line. It dries down quickly and stays put through the kind of day where you’re constantly on the go.

This foundation is lightweight, buildable and surprisingly long-wearing for the price. It has a soft matte finish that controls shine without making your skin look flat or dry, which is a tough balance to strike in hot weather. It blends in easily and feels breathable even if you’re layering it over primer or concealer. If your skin tends to get oily or your makeup breaks apart by lunchtime, this one’s worth a try.

This mascara gives you that lifted, fanned-out lash look without the smudging or flaking that some waterproof formulas are guilty of. It holds a curl nicely and lasts through everything from a sweaty workout to a packed commute. The brush catches even the tiny lashes in the corners of your eyes, giving you that wide-awake look without clumps. Great for days when you need your lashes to survive the weather and whatever else comes your way.
