According to Ojas Rajani, celebrity makeup artist n hairstylist and Director and Educator at Ojas Rajani Hairnmakeup Academy n studio “Always remember the heat and humidity according to the country you choose. So instead of using liquid foundation I would rather use spray foundation which are easy to use all over the face and body which is sheer in texture and blends into skin as second skin and also has SPF so you don’t need to use sunscreen separately also it is less messy and you don’t need too many products as this is foundation and concealer all in one and when sets it becomes like a powder and looks sun-kissed so you don’t have to worry about stains or streaking. Also use a waterproof mascara like brands Dior is very safe for your eyes and use pencil based crayon eyeshadow and crayon lip stain as it dries and settles so again no worries of re touch up lastly use ice cubes before makeup or frozen thermal water spray during day to refresh your makeup it does not move your makeup at all and your tingling fresh. Lastly store your products in the fridge when in your hotel or in an icebox while travelling.”
