Perspiring away all your makeup is just part of being human, but if you're finding yourself needing touch-ups before lunch every day, it may be time to take a closer look at why that is. We've already broken down the basics of working a primer into your makeup routine, but in the summer months especially, it's always about finding the right product as opposed to using many different items together, and when it comes to endurance with your war paint, the right product is the primer that works for your skin. Whether you've a dull hide, an oily T-zone or an uneven complexion, rest assured there's a primer that'll give your makeup its second life.
Banishing dullness is often left to colour correcting and highlighters, but if you’re aiming for a more natural look, you can give yourself some radiance in a second thanks to NYX’s Dewy Finish Make-Up Setting Spray ($10). It’s easy to overdo this one so it’s best to keep it within just a spritz or two, but an illuminating setting spray is a godsend for anyone seeking shine without colour: more than a few daytime looks can be repaired and conclusively rescued with a dose of lightweight hydration and light-reflecting particles to go with.
