Is there anything that you can use that helps prevent makeup from sweating off?
I sweat a lot on my upper lip and then the makeup just comes off.
Normally it'd be okay but I've been taking medication that has darkened my mouth area a little so when the makeup does wear off I end up looking like I have a mustache 😂😂

I have the exact same thing! I don't think that you can prevent this but from what I've heard is that blotting paper helps a lot. It's not available where I live so I use regular tissues and I bring my powder and a powder brush with me when I go out so I can reapply. I hope this helped!

What kind of makeup are you using? Definitely use a primer if you don't already and maybe try a setting spray like Ben Nye's because it helps seal in makeup. And are you using a setting powder?

@ Amy, I've used blotting papers but it just take off all the makeup lol it's annoying cause I use a small amount of color corrector and concealer so it's annoying to have to keep retouching haha

@Lisa, I use different foundations. I've been using Studio Fix Fluid and Pro Longwear the most. They last the longest on me. I do use a primer, I find that my face look relatively matte it's just my upper lip that perspires and makeup doesn't hold up but the rest of my face which is oily stays nice. I do use a setting powder but once I start sweating it starts caking up and loosens up.
I'll definitely have to look into the spray too

@Jacqueline, my perspiration is fairly heavy. I'm used to being in an air conditioned room and so once I'm outside its just not pretty lol.
I'll definitely have to check out the powder and the primer!
I haven't ears of those specific products but I'll definitely check em out
