Anyone have any good suggestions on what kind of makeup to use for a June beach wedding? Its most likely going to be pretty hot and humid, and my girls and I are doing our own makeup. Specifically looking for good foundation suggestions. I currently use Mary Kay, but I have never tested it out on the beach ( I live in Ohio).

Thanks!

    No matter what brand you use, I'd suggest wearing a mattifier (oops might not be spelled right!) under your foundation to help reduce shine and carry some blotting papers with you.

    I wear MAC make-up.  I have combination skin, so I use their primer underneath my foundation and it helps cut down on the shine.  At MAC, the artists are also usually good about teaching you how to re-create a look they do on you, so you could set up an appointment with one and you'll leave with a cheat sheet for your wedding day :) MAC is pricey, but worth the price, IMO.

    I agree with Lou.  I'd definitely recommend a primer and/or mattifier underneath your foundation.  Or you could try airbrush makeup.  I hear it holds up really well in heat and humidity.

    Have you tried the mineral make up?  Some people love it for oily skin or for high humidity. 

    I use it sometimes, either alone or in addition to a tinted moisturizer.  For a hot, humid day, I'd definitely go with that for staying power.  I think Mary Kay has a line of mineral make up.  Can you ask your sales rep for a sample?
