I prefer wearing light makeup for a meet, despite knowing I'm likely to be a sweaty mess by the end  I've yet to find a fixing spray that doesn't leave me smearing a little foundation on bedding or something. Any useful tips? Waterproof mascara is a go to, I wear a lipgloss that to be fair disappears quite fast, eyeshadow tends to survive, think I'm getting the foundation wrong somehow! |

A good primer user before your foundation will help it to stay in place. NYX do a lovely fixing spray that I’ve found quite good. It’s quite cheap too  |

Setting spray can be used after primer, after concealer, after foundation and after powder. What ever combo works for you  mines before foundation and after |

I wouldn't call this light, but smudge proof makeup - Jackie Aina did a video on how to do it under a mask.

I can't say it works for bedding, but can confirm that the foundation/base technique works under a mask |

Thank you all so much! Never occurred to me to try setting spray on more than one layer will give a different primer a try too. Appreciate the video link, will practice this weekend in preparation for freedom day and getting deliciously naughty soon |

I agree I use NYX fixing spray both matte and dowy depending on the mood x they are brill and not too too expensive x |

It works I do it for meets saves makeup going all over the place but wouldn’t recommend for a ever day type off thing settting spry is best there but for that one off hot and sweety night always go with hair spry |

Sounds like I need a can of Elnett Nyx is my go-to eye primer, shadow doesn't budge on that, so their products will be worth a go. I use translucent powder on my shiny nose but maybe a proper bake is needed x |

Dunno about staying power, but BB cream is lighter and healthier than foundation. |
