There are measures to combat any problem and hopefully these tips will help:

Perspiration When you are in a rush or a panic the last thing you need is for make-up to be difficult to apply because you are too hot and flustered, so find a window or a fan and try to externally cool yourself. Water evaporates quickly so any extra air flow will help remove excess water from your face.

Blot away excess perspiration – never wipe it off or you will remove the make-up. Spritzing your face provides a much needed cooling effect and removes the salt which is found in sweat to give your skin a fresh look and feel.

Blemishes can be the bane of your life and make-up rarely sticks to a shiny blemish. Use a wax-based skin-coloured concealer to cover the redness but apply it with a cotton tip as the warmth from your fingers will spread the product too much. Apply powder to seal the concealer and this should give you a paler, less noticeable surface. If all else fails cover with normal foundation and tell everyone you are still young enough to get spots!

Never pick a spot before applying make-up as it will weep and the bacteria within could spread. Filling the hole from a picked spot is not the best option as it will inevitably give you another blemish!

Uneven make-up can look awful because your skin is not evenly textured or has a diverse moisture content. Following a good skincare routine and moisturising just prior to makeup will do the trick. A flawless surface can be achieved if you use an underbase primer product to mattify the skin prior to make-up application.
