Waterproof Makeup That Smudges After 20 Minutes Above 27°C
IN · Published Feb 7, 2026
Many waterproof makeups smudge above 27°C due to sweat and sebum breaking down the protective barrier.
Use primers for oily skin and translucent powder to lock makeup in place and prevent smudging.
Apply makeup in thin layers and use setting sprays for touch-ups to maintain a flawless look in high heat.
Waterproof makeup fails above 27°C, smudging quickly
Waterproof makeup is designed to withstand moisture, providing long-lasting coverage that resists smudging and fading. However, many find their waterproof makeup fails when temperatures rise above 27°C (80°F), often smudging after just 20 minutes. This can be frustrating, especially during summer or in humid climates.
