I'm going to be visiting korea in july and thats when it gets the hottest and most humid and sticky there apparently. I havent been there before so I'm not sure what to expect!

could you recommend to me a foundation, concealer and mascara that does not smudge in humidity? I like having a matte face but I also have dry skin so I am looking for a long wearing semi-matte foundation thats not too drying. Thank you in advance:)

Perhaps the MAC Pro Longwear nourishing waterproof foundation?

It isn't too drying IMO. I'd say it's got like a satin/semi matte look but if you want it to be matte just set it with powder and you should be good.
It's very long lasting and really held up on me when I was in a very humid room and quite active, it held up very well even though I was sweating. I definitely would work in thin layers applying this, let each layer dry down properly before adding more.
It's best with your fingers of with a flat top kabuki and just press it into the skin.
Buffing if in or using a beauty blender kind of just sheers out the coverage.

It's still one of my fave foundations I just hate that the color I have is just a tad too peach on me.


For concealer, MUFE has a waterproof one that has good coverage.

Mascara: Neutrogena Healthy Volume Waterproof mascara is good. It didn't flake off or anything which I have an issue with when it comes to a good amount of waterproof mascaras
