FLAWLESS FACE
She said her makeup wouldn’t come off when she applied several cheap products on her face.
“I recently went to a very hot wedding with no air conditioning in Italy, and I get sweaty very easily,” she said, writing under the name Bluebasile.
“My skin is more normal/combination than super oily.”
She prepped her skin for makeup by applying elf Poreless Putty Primer to her face and Wet n Wild Photofocus Eyeshadow Primer to her eyes.
Blemishes were camouflaged with Maybelline Instant Age Rewind concealer.
Next, she used Wet n Wild Photofocus loose banana powder to set her makeup, before applying L’Oreal Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray.
“I sprayed it on liberally before leaving the house, let it partially dry with a fan, and then pressed it in with my beauty blender,” she said.

FINISHING
The Redditor completed her look by applying Maybelline Tattoo Studio Waterproof Gel Line to her waterline.
Next, she used Maybelline Hyper Easy Waterproof Liquid Liner on her lids.
She used Essence Lash Princess False Lash Effect mascara in both a regular and a waterproof version.
“I like to apply waterproof mascara over my regular mascara to protect my lashes,” she said.
“I tend to get watery or oily eyes in the corners of my eyes, so I always make sure to bake that area.”
