Hot weather makeup help

[kanga1]

I'm going to an outdoor wedding on Saturday, high of 90 and humid. I always wear urban decay liquid foundation with mac powder to set it but I'm thinking this will be a bad idea. I only have a Target, Walmart and Walgreens in town.....are there any better options? I was thinking bare minerals would be good for hot weather but unfortunately I can't get to an ulta before the wedding. What would be my best bet other than not wearing makeup which I'd rather not do?

I watched this before going to India - over 100F and humid.  It helped a lot.

Thanks! I've already got some of the Maybelline 24 hour shadows too!

NYX blotting powder is awesome, also a setting spray. Prime everything! The cream shadows are a great idea and I would probably use WP mascara just to be on the safe side in your situation. I don't need WP mascara for most situations but sometimes I use it just to be 100% confident I won't get raccoon eyes.

I've been using the Monistat Chafing Relief Powder Gel as a primer for a few months. I'm a nurse and occasionally work in the OR...so wearing a gown, mask, gloves and cap makes me sweat like crazy. My makeup still looks good after many hours and the Monistat really does work as well as the Smashbox primer that I used previously.

LMAO....this just reminded me of when I was a bridesmaid in a summer wedding and we made an emergency target trip after the rehearsal dinner just for this anti chafe gel. All us girls used it for chub rub on our thighs the next day during the wedding.

It's definitely a multi-functional product lol

When you say it helped a lot- did you use the same products, or was it the order of application?

I'd honestly just accept the Situation, as sucky as it is. Use a good primer under your foundation. Set with UD all nighter spray. Something like that

I've been using this RMS setting powder (it's the natural beauty version of those white setting powders). It's pretty good. I still need to touch up but that can't be avoided

I'm from southeast Texas. It's hot and humid there like 8 months out of the year. I use a good primer, waterproof formulas wherever possible, and set with setting spray.

Used similar products in that order.

I love this stuff as a primer!  Totally old-school drag queen but it works and it's so cheap.  

For super hot and humid weather and special events, I will do multiple layers of setting spray too - so foundation, setting spray.  Highlight/contour/blush, setting spray.  Eyemakeup, setting spray.  You have to make sure each layer is completely dry before trying to add anything else though.

Urban Decay De-Slick Primer is really nice. Their make up setting spray is good too.
