1. Keep make-up in place by using powder formulations on eyes and cheeks, touching up with loose translucent powder throughout the day.
2. Concealing a breakout gets tricky in bright sunlight. After applying foundation, brush a water-based concealer directly onto the blemishes and then blend away the edges seamlessly. Lock in place with a dusting of loose translucent powder - not pressed powder, which tends to cake in the heat.
3. Chapped lips? Un-chap lips by coating them with a lip balm. Even though trendy lip-gloss has a wet look, most aren't hydrating.
