Hello all!
My job requires that I wear a full face of makeup (including full-coverage matte foundation) outside when the heat index is often over 110. I also have to do quite a bit of dancing/running/skipping. Basically, I apply my makeup at 6:30 in the morning and do little physical activity (mainly just standing around and walking) from 9:30-1. I then have to dance/skip/run around from around 3-3:45. Also, I have to wear an outfit that isn't very breathable and I have a LOT of hair that is on my head and down my neck (non-negotiable). Sorry for some weird vagueness, but my job is a little secretive.
Anyway, when I'm doing my big burst of physical activity around 3, I sweat. A LOT. I'm not talking glistening. I'm talking big drops of sweat pouring down my face, into my mouth, onto my neck, onto my chest... everywhere. I've always sweat more than your average female. I have seen a dermatologist about hyperhidrosis, but I'm not wanting to undergo botox for my facial issues. By the time 3:45 rolls around and I'm done, the rest of my makeup has held up, but my foundation looks blotchy, since I've been practically swimming.
I've used Revlon Colorstay for combo/oily skin and Picture Perfect foundation. I always use Ben Nye Translucent setting powder and Ben Nye Final Seal. However, my level of sweating is so severe that it seems nothing stands a chance. Any recommendations for sweat/water proof foundations?
