Beach and garden weddings are romantic occasions to witness—the only downside is the heat. Unless the outdoor nuptials will be located in cooler places like Baguio or Tagaytay, it's easy for the freshly applied makeup you've worked hard on for hours to fade or to turn into a sweaty mess. Below are ways you can make your MOTD last until the wedding reception:
-
Protect your skin.
Weddings set by the sea are breathtaking, but it also means your skin will be exposed to the sun for a long period of time, so now's not the time to get lazy with applying your sunscreen. For an SPF that won't feel like an extra, sticky layer under your makeup, try a gel sunscreen.

Don't skip the primer.
It pays to do this extra step if you want your makeup to last until the reception. Primers act like a "barrier" between your skin and your makeup, so it'll help keep your foundation from sliding off with the heat—especially when you've got oily skin! A cool bonus: You'll also notice how your foundation looks more flawless, as it smoothes out and fills in your pores.

Keep your base light!
The heavier your foundation, the more uncomfortable you'll feel when it gets too hot at the wedding—and this should be the least of your worries when your BFF is getting hitched. Here are two things you can try:
Opt for a lightweight foundation that provides enough coverage to even out your complexion while still allowing it to breathe.

Or, if you don't want to splurge on a new bottle of lightweight foundation, you can also consider skipping it and rely on concealer instead. Just apply it on your T-zone to brighten up your complexion.

Layer your blush!
Before applying your go-to blush, dab a cream or liquid blush on your cheeks to extend the staying power of your flush. When your powder wears off, you'll still be left with a nice color on the cheeks.

Use a lip liner.
You probably skip this step out of sheer laziness, and we don't blame you. We all just want to swipe on that lipstick and call it a day. However, lip liners prolong the wear of your lippie by preventing it from feathering and smudging.

Mist your face.
Instead of setting your face with powder, which often leaves a flat, matte finish, lock in your makeup by spritzing on a setting spray; it's one way to bring back the glow to your complexion. The mist breaks down your makeup, making it appear less cakey and more natural on the skin.
