Of all the dramas related to hot-weather makeup, skin is by far the most complex and the one that raises more doubts. Foundation, face powder, sweat, oiliness, highlighter, making it last, touch ups…

These are the issues me and Fabi Gomes, MAC’s senior artist, talk about in today’s video – directly from the hot city of Belém, in the North of Brazil. To be matte or not to be, that is the question!

If you just got here, a brief context: the third part of my book tour, in partnership with MAC, took place in Natal, São Luís, Belém and Manaus, four very hot and sunny cities in Brazil. So we thought it was the perfect opportunity to film 3-video series about hot-weather makeup. You can watch the first one, about lips, here, and next week we’ll be talking about eyes!
