I had no worries when I applied my make-up that day. I believed that the Primer (click here) and Setting Spray (click here) would help my make-up to last, which is what they are supposed to do and they usually work for me (click here). I even wore a baseball cap and took an umbrella. I felt confident that I would survive the sweltering heat.
Soon after arriving at the event I began to perspire - the heat of the sun was scorching!!! I wasn't concerned because my make-up always lasts, but as the saying goes, 'there's a first time for everything'.
The sweat was pouring down my face. I touched my face and when I glanced at my hand, it had make-up on it! I was very disturbed; this has never happened to me before. I could not believe my eyes.
I was very confused. My make-up has survived the summer heat before, but today it was much hotter than usual. My make-up didn't have a chance against the extreme heat.
I felt angry and disappointed that the products did not work; products that I had sworn by and recommended to others.
I was so upset that I stopped using Primer and Setting Spray in my personal make-up application routine. Don't get me wrong, these products have their purpose, but they failed me when I needed them most and I do not take that lightly.
And so the quest to for make-up that lasts in this tropical climate continues. I'm planning to try a spray that water-proofs make-up - I'm hoping this will give me the result that I am seeking. One thing that I do know is that I'll have to keep trying products until I find something that works for me. The reality is that products do not always work the same for everyone, even if it has rave reviews.
