The shining stars of social media and television share their secrets to achieving a radiant glow.

Korean makeup cushions have taken the world by storm. But what’s the best way to use it in our humid climate?

We have high expectations when it comes to base makeup. Long workdays, hot and humid weather, and unbalanced skin conditions (think oily yet dehydrated) require that products be long-lasting, with impressive blemish-concealing abilities and skincare perks – and many of our winners deliver on these. The past year was also the year that soft matte foundations made small headlines, thanks to more comfortable textures and improved finishes that look fresh and radiant, not heavy and flat.

Now that you have great skin, its time to look effortlessly flawless with the right makeup. But don’t let our humid climate ruin it or cause your complexion to become greasy.
