In the Philippines, it's practically summer all year round. With the constant humidity blasting our faces, in addition to the insulated heat of our masks, there is no guarantee our base makeup wont melt after a few hours.
If that's something you struggle with, you probably have oily or combination skin and need help controlling that shine. Don't worry, we found multiple mattifying powders that can keep that aggressive glow at bay. Just scroll right ahead!
