Long-wear perfection starts with the Hourglass Veil Mineral Primer. This innovative formula locks your makeup in place for hours while delivering a flawless, airbrushed finish. It visibly smooths redness, refines pores, and softens the look of fine lines and wrinkles. What’s more, it provides broad spectrum SPF 15 protection, all in a supremely airy, silky, cloud-like texture.

In high, humid temperatures, layer minimally and skip the foundation whenever possible. Instead, streamline your routine with a multitasking tinted moisturiser with SPF that delivers hydration, sun protection and a natural all-over tint in one effortless step. Supergoop! spent 17 years mastering sunscreen before venturing into makeup hybrids, and it shows. Their high-performance tinted SPF uses a sophisticated hybrid mineral-chemical filter system, boosted with ectoin and hyaluronic acid to deeply nourish, hydrate and protect your skin.

Nars The Multiple Sculpting Stick

Pro hack for long-wearing makeup in humid conditions: layer smartly. Team a cream bronzer under your powder formula for a natural-looking finished result. Nars' The Multiple Sculpting Stick is a cult favourite for a reason – it glides on effortlessly, melts into the skin, and creates a fresh, sun-kissed sculpt that refuses to budge or look cakey.
