In My (Beach) Bag: Make Up For Ever Full Cover Concealer

June 30th, 2011 by Crystal

Thankfully, I arrived prepared as I knew my usual skincare products wouldn’t work as well here as they do in New York. Even if I adjusted the portions and frequency of use, their formulations are simply better suited for drier conditions.

Here are some of the humidity-friendly skincare products that saved me from looking like a grease ball in my vacation pics:
