New Summer-Proof Makeup Essentials You Need To Last You Through a Day of Sweating

If you’re going to brave the blazing heat this summer, you’ll want to have these makeup must-haves in tow. Find out more in our latest beauty edit…

Paris is melting, London is burning, KL is… somehow more scorching than usual—summer is officially nigh! Break out your bikinis, blast your air conditioning, and gear up for many, many ice-cold showers ahead because the sweat shower is coming for you.

As you galavant around the city, wishing desperately that you were indoors and under the AC, something else is brewing. It’s not the sweat marks on your clothes or your greasy roots weighing heavy. It’s far more nefarious. It’s your foundation cracking and separating, making way for the pools of sebum rising from within your pores. It’s your mascara and your eyeliner slowly bleeding, leaving its tracks on your cheeks. It’s your blusher, wearing away at lightning speed. It’s not just you suffering in this heatwave—it’s your makeup!

Unfortunately, some makeup just isn’t built to last through the unprecedented amount of sweat we’re all set to produce this summer. After all, what is a heatwave if not an adverse stress test for you and your beat? That’s why we’ve taken it upon ourselves to round up our picks for the best sweat-proof beauty bits. From Lancome’s Idole Waterproof Mascara, a staple that will brave sweat, rubs, and tears alike, to One/Size’s viral setting spray, and beyond, we’ve curated the best formulations on the market to see you through the summer.

Better yet, we’ve organised everything by category so you can shop according to what you need. Alternatively, add it all to the cart and revamp your full routine—why not? Ahead, find everything you need to shop this season.
