Makeup at Disney World

[Emm]

I second the advice for tinted moisturizer. It's light, natural-looking, and it evens out your skin-tone w/out danger of caking. Don't forget an SPF of at least 15. Even if you go in November, you shouldn't discount the sun, though you don't have to worry about the heat.

If you normally wear mascara, go with something waterproof that won't smear if your eyes get moist from the wind, the heat, or by splashing on a ride.

Personally, I'm not a big "make up" person, but I always carry a concealer/eye brightener to touch up around the eyes (and sometimes tone down my nose, which tends to get rosy--I have rosacea) and a tinted lip gloss. These take up almost no space. I also carry a folding comb/brush. I touch up and comb my hair whenever I go to the rest room.

If your skin tends to be oily, a small packet of those "face blotters" that don't disturb the make up is also a good thing to carry.

Bare minerals is for me too. Its great in the heat. That and waterproof mascara does the trick!

For long lasting shadow, I adore MAC's paint pots. They stay 8-12 hrs... and sometimes longer. For me, a little eye pop makes a big difference in pictures. I wear bare minerals foundation at the parks most of the time... I use to wear tinted moisturizer, but it didn't even out my blotchyness. Waterproof or resistant is a good idea when wet conditions are questionable.

I have the same affliction. I want to look decent in the photopass pics and other family pics. I wear MAC tinted moisturizer in the summer so I don't melt and I use MAC paint as a base for my eyeshadow and then MAC eyeshadows and MAC liquidlast eyeliner. My eyes still look perfect after 12 hours out in the heat. My face not as good but the eyes don't get messed up. Same eye routine as every day for me.

I like Almay's longwear foundation (I can't think of the exact name). It isn't too chalky or heavy like Revlon Colorstay or Maybelline's new stuff (I've tried them all!)

Always remember that you are doing it for you, cause nobody else will be looking at you at all.

That's exactly why I wear makeup - for me.

I swear by Bare Minerals. Its light and stays on for a long time. Plus the SPF is a great factor. I actually feel that the bare minerals protects my face much more than when I don't have it on. I also would suggest the Urban Decay Primer Potion. It really does extend the time you have you eye shadow on. Normally eyeshadow is gone by the end of the day but the Urban Decay Primer actually does work. I tend to stay on the more natural side when I do my make-up but I really do suggest you put the Bare Minerals on.

I also wear make up to the parks for the same reason - the pictures!

I use Make Up Forever powder foundation and a bronzer. I also wear eyeshadow with extra sparkle aka pixie dust and mascara.

I tried to just wear tinted moisturizer, but I found it didn't do the trick for all day in the park.

I never wear make up at the park, but I don't wear it in my everyday life either. For me it's just when I go out. But I like the way I look in pictures even without it.
I honestly couldn't imagine wearing, for me it would be uncomfortable.

I don't care for Bare Minerals myself, it looks amazing on other people but I have break out prone skin and it breaks me out every time I have tried to give it a "second chance". I've recently switched to Korres light foundation because it's organic, but I have a couple of other suggestions for you as well, two from Sephora that are pricey but amazing, and one from Rite Aide that is cheap but sweat proof....

And the ULTIMATE in sweat-proof, airbrushed, perfect skin in any weather make up. I can attest to this working, I have worn it to the gym and still looked great after spin class.....

There is a cheaper version by Carmindy for Sally Hansen, (The chick who does the make up for What Not to Wear on TLC), available at Rite Aide. You need a sponge to help apply it.

I like the Mary Kay creme to powder foundation as well. It does seem to hold up to the heat well. I set it with a little loose powder and I'm good to go!

Bare Minerals all the way...humidity-no problem

I use pur minerals and have some travel size ones that I put in my purse.

If we don't end up going to the room for a mid day break, I normally have a make up remover wipe and take off ALL of my makeup and reapply half way through the day. It makes me feel a LOT better.

This is an excellent idea.
