Carnival is bacchanal, dancing, and jumping up in the hot sun! With all of the partying and adventures you might get into during the festivities, ditching your makeup routine can seem like the sensible thing to do.
I get it; no one wants to look like a melted makeup canvas or even worry about reapplying or touching up.
But, there are just some points during your Carnival experience where you will want to do a little extra or maybe your skin just isn’t cooperating and a little makeup boost can save the day! It can be something simple and light like a BB cream and lipstick or for a bit more coverage a traditional foundation.
No matter what your need is, I hope this list helps you to look fabulous during your next Carnival experience! Happy feteing!
I personally used this during the summer and during my last carnival adventure and I loved it! It offers medium to full coverage and lasts through sweat, rain, and anything in between.
2. Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
This is a secret weapon when it comes to helping your makeup stay put! A trick I’ve used in the past is to apply after primer but before foundation to add a bit of an extra hold. It's light weight and just melts into your skin. To avoid that pain in the tail known as - flashback in pictures - don’t forget to wet your beauty blender before application.
3. tarte Poreless Mattifying Primer
The foundation of any good sweat-proof makeup look is the primer. I’ve found that this tarte primer is the truth! Just upon application alone, you can feel and see the difference in your skin. It’s mattifying, so it fights shine and helps your foundation stay in place.
4. Lancome Teint Idole Ultra 24H
5. Maybelline Dream Fresh BB Cream 8-In-1 Skin Perfector
6. Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer
Yes, this is an amazing concealer that won’t budge. But, a trick I’ve learned is that this Nars concealer can also be used as an eye shadow primer. I discovered this during 2018 carnival! Not only does it allow for my eye shadow to go on smoothly and minimizes creasing, it also helps my eye look to last longer. If it’s one thing I love is for my makeup products to have multiple uses!
7. MAC Liquidlast Liner
8. NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment
This product is lightweight, comes in tons of beautiful rich colors, and long wearing! This lip pigment will last through the drinks and the delicious food you'll eat during carnival. You also won’t need to constantly reapply, which means more time to have fun!
9. Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray
Last, but definitely not least is this dream of a setting spray! Okay, so you’ve done your face, used all the right products and wondering what would be best to lock in your look? This product is the key. Just spray it on and know that you are ready to whine and wukkup in de people fete!
