The weather is still getting hotter!!!
Paphos is much more humidi than the rest of the island, so when temperatures reach 30 degrees and above it feels much hotter as you get very sticky.
The humidity reached nearly 90% a couple of days ago - more like July and August weather. Felt like I was in sauna ![]()
I thought this was a good time to try out my favourite foundations but at different levels of humidity which I haven't monitored before. Some of these foundations are mentioned in my eBook.
Christian Dior - Forever
Revlon Colorstay
Revlon Colorstay Mineral Mousse
Estee Lauder - Double Wear - Light Version
All were good at around 60% humidity levels which is a pretty average level for Paphos.
At 70% Humidity Christian Dior Forever, did not stand up to the heat and started to run and look patchy.
At 80% Humidity Revlon Colorstay did ok
At 80% Revlon Mineral Mousse started to come off and look really patchy
90% Estee Lauder Double Wear - Light Version stayed put
This foundatin is unbelievable, my face was hot and sticky but when I dabbed my skin with a tissue - the foundation was still there - just briliiant!
Remember to use a mattifying moisturiser or primer under your foundation even if your skin is dry. You can always use a richer cream overnight.
