Wet, Wild, & Wonderful

A little rain never stopped us 😉

The rainy season is a beautiful time of year in the Philippines. The lush greenery and the refreshing breeze are a welcome respite from the hot and humid weather. However, the rain can also be a challenge for makeup lovers. If you're not careful, your look can run, smudge, and fade in the wet atmosphere.
That's why it's important to have the right essentials for this season. 🌧 Here are a few things you'll need:

Primer or Setting Spray

Primers are a no-brainer to make sure that your masterpiece stays on your face for as long as possible. Think of it like a glue that keeps all the product stuck to your face, making it more resistant against elements that might ruin your look throughout the day. A setting spray or powder, on the other hand, locks everything to place to basically seal the deal. Check out our top picks:
