Use less makeup
If necessary, simplify as much as possible. If you normally use seven products, reduce your routine to the bare minimum so that you lose less makeup.
Avoid powder
Temperature and snow do not mix. Powder will adhere to your face, clog your pores, and give the distinct impression that you recently lost a sandstorm battle.
Utilize tinted moisturizers or B.B. cream
If you can do without makeup, try a tinted moisturizer or B.B (Beauty Balm) cream. In that they provide coverage while being lighter than a foundation, these two products perform similarly. It is also an excellent method for attaining a simple, flawless makeup look. Just make sure that both moisturizers contain sunscreen or that you apply sunscreen before applying the tinted moisturizer.
Prime your eyeliner
Utilize an eye primer to prevent your eyeliner from running. This will also help keep your mascara in place. Your other option is to use a waterproof mascara of sufficient strength to withstand a rainstorm.
Setting Spray
Utilized by performers worldwide (yes, Beyoncé comes to mind), setting spray is one of those seemingly unnecessary products that is useful for keeping makeup in place. Setting spray is a mist that seals makeup in place so effectively that it requires multiple washes to remove.
I mean, have you ever pondered how Beyonce manages to keep her makeup in place while performing?
