The heat and humidity in Indonesia cause makeup to wear off in an inelegant manner. This presents a challenge to even the best of beauty lovers. However, while it sounds utterly daunting, it’s not impossible to keep your makeup looking fresh all day, come rain or shine.
With the right combination of products and techniques, your Raya makeup look will not only survive the Raya feasting and gallivanting — it will remain camera-ready come dinner time as well.
