Make up and humidity

[PaulaSB12]

I am taking 14 year old girls to CSR in august, are there any words of advice on not wearing makup in the heat and humidity. Or is it a case of waiting til they notice the panda eyes as the makeup runs?

I always wear make-up and haven't noticed any particular problems.

I've never had any make-up problems - even when I got drenched on Splash Mountain...

I never wear make-up because I just get to hot and always end up wiping my face, just go with the flow if they are happy with make-up leave then to it, its tough been 14!!!

I have two handsome sons, one 15, one 17 and will be at CSR in late August.

Do you want my boys to offer constructive feedback


Mrs Aardvark does the basics including water-proof mascara and on 6 previous trips generally has avoided impressions of a large bamboo eating mammal

Depends what exactlly you're concerned about?
If your skin tone eveness is a problem (I'm quite pale with a few freckles)then try a fake tan with a built in sunscreen, I use an everyday type one (Nivea, Neutrogena, Olay) whilst on holiday instead of a foundation - tinted moisturisers are good too. Both will feel lighter than a foundation which is good in the heat.
If you're worried about mascara, then ask the parents if they can have their eyelashes tinted before you go. I have this done quite regularly as I swim a lot and smudge my mascara easily and I find it saves me lots of time and panda eyes! Go to a reputable salon to have your eyelashes done, they will also require you have a skin test beforehand so don't leave it until the last minute - and DONT try a DIY kit....
I tend to use a lipgloss with a sunscreen that can be re-applied as usual.

Hiya, I'm 15 and I can say from experience, I suffer from panda-eyes and "dripping make-up syndrome" when I go places with high humidty. However, I go to Florida in August and I get hot and sweaty very easily (just thought you'd like to know lol!).

From experience, I wear no make-up or I tend to just wear limited mascara or clear mascara, no foundation because that means I get less of a tan on my face, a little lip gloss if I can be bothered and no blusher or bronzer. However, everyone's skin is different so they might be okay with wearing tons of makeup and not have to worry about it

I am one of these people that looks half-dead without make-up and would never dream of stepping outside the door without something on. Having said that, the first year we went I tried wearing normal foundation but, within an hour or so of being outside, I was seriously glowing. For the last few trips, I have used a tinted moisturiser, which means that I look like I'm wearing foundation but don't end up with it smeared all over my face shortly after leaving the room. I very rarely wear any other make-up during the day while on holiday, though - maybe a bit of lip gloss.
