When setting your makeup, don't be scared to use a powder. Missing this step means "foundation remains unsealed and as soon as your sebaceous glands start producing oil, it will melt the foundation and become shiny," Martin said. "A thin veil of powder, specifically on the t-zone, around the nose, chin, and above the eyebrows, can prevent this."
She likes to use either the Laura Mercier Loose Setting Powder (£29) or the Hourglass Veil Translucent Setting Powder (£42). If you prefer a setting spray, Martin said that one like Mac Prep and Prime Fix+ (£19) is excellent at taking the "slightly powdery edge off a makeup look," while others, like the Urban Decay All Nighter Setting Spray (£10), help to keep your foundation from budging all day (and night). "Just be sure to cover any tiaras or headpieces before spraying, and don't spray too close to the face as you just want a gentle mist application."
