     Sweat Proof Wedding Make Up Suggestion  

Greetings and many thanks in advance for any suggestions. Although my wedding is in October, my forehead tends to sweat when I'm nervous. And, I fear that the problem will be intensified while standing under the lights at the front of the church for the ceremony.

Do you have a suggestion for a type of foundation and or powder to use to help hide this longer? I'll have blotting papers to use throughout the day, but I thought perhaps there was a type of make-up that would hold up better for me. I have normal, fair skin which I moisturize at night before bed and in the morning before applying makeup.

Again! Many thanks to the volunteers. Smile

Hello Katty,

There are a few options. Give them all a trial run before the big day, and figure out which one works best.

Try an oil absorbing primer, under foundation. Which can also be used with a powder foundation. I like sephora brand, and covergirl.

Very oily: Maybe your moisturizer is too heavy? Or just use on rest of face and avoid your forehead, if this is not the problem. There are also oil absorbing mositurizers on the market, hard to find in drug stores, but I think Lancome makes one.

Also, a tv trick, is to spray a bit of liquid deodorant on a cotton ball and dab on forehead, to prevent sweating. There is a very good all natural deodorant, non perfumed that is a crystal rock, that you need to dampen with water to activate, its also available in spray form, I saw it at my local drugstore, and health food stores too. Possibly, whole foods carries it.

Good luck,
