Summer Humidity-Proof

When this look is worn

July and August on the coast — Casablanca, Rabat, Essaouira — where the air is wet and a normal base will not survive the evening.

The sequence

1. 
   Step 1 — Prep lightAvène Cold Cream

   Only genuinely dry patches. A rich cream all over is a mistake in humidity.

2. 
   Step 2 — Grip the T-zoneDanessa Myricks Yummy Skin Balm Powder

   Press in before base. This is the most important step of the whole look.

3. 
   Step 3 — Thin baseDior Backstage Face & Body Foundation

   Sheer. Thick base in humidity slides — piling it on is what makes it fail.

4. 
   Step 4 — Cream bronzer rated for humidityCharlotte Tilbury Beautiful Skin Bronzer

   Explicitly sweat- and humidity-proof. Powder bronzer over a sweating base breaks up.

5. 
   Step 5 — Powder blush over a set baseYSL Make Me Blush

   Set the base first or the powder will grab.

6. 
   Step 6 — Set the centreMake Up For Ever Compact Powder

   Press, wait, dust off.

7. 
   Step 7 — MattifyONE/SIZE On 'Til Dawn

   Waterproof and mattifying. T-zone only.

8. 
   Step 8 — LockUrban Decay All Nighter

   Natural finish over the matte.

9. 
   Step 9 — Touch-up kitONE/SIZE Oil Sucker

   Hand it over.

What makes this look fail

• A heavy base, which slides faster than a thin one.
• Powder bronzer, which patches over a damp base.
• Skipping the pre-base blur step and trying to fix shine later.
