10 Best Concealers For Hot and Humid Weather
There’s nothing like a good concealer to brighten up your face. Knowing that any blemishes or eyebags are covered with a matte finish to top has a habit of putting a spring in your step.
However, concealer is another member of the makeup bag that seems to have trouble staying put for more than 5 hours at a time. What spreads so evenly and blends so seamlessly in the morning can be pooled around your chin-area by lunch. So, we pretend we’re alright with three makeup touch-ups a day but are we really?
It’s more of an excuse to avoid the mysterious water-proof and sweat-proof concealers. They promise everything we want, it’s literally written on the wrapper. Yet we stare at them suspiciously sitting on the shelves while reaching for the familiar culprit.
“They’re too clumpy,” “They’re so cakey,” “Too heavy, they’ll make me break out!” We’ve heard it all before. And it’s simply not true. If worn right, these long-lasting concealers can feel light, breathable, and just like skin – exactly what we want!
They’ll even withstand the most stuffy environments and sweltering days. No amount of sweat or watery hayfever eyes is a match for these super concealers. Their updated formulas can even have extra benefits that extend past their intended use.
There is a wide range of concealers to meet our expectations but some stand out from the rest.
Take your pick:
Urban Decay: All Nighter Waterproof Full-Coverage Concealer
Urban Decay’s All Nighter made for those hot and heavy days (or situations!) This concealer is made from a special formula that absorbs oil from the skin leaving a matte finish that can’t be wiped away. Come rain, wind, storm, or sun, this concealer can withstand it all.
Better yet, its light and breathable cover only require that you put on one layer so that there’ll be no need for top-ups. And one layer is definitely enough – Urban Decay have tweaked its formula to contain 73% more pigment meaning you’ll get all the coverage you could dream of.
