Ditch Heavy Foundation This Raya: Tinted Sunscreen & Setting Spray for a Flawless Glow
Raya is all about celebration, family gatherings, and of course, looking your absolute best. But let’s be honest, wearing a full-coverage foundation for long hours under the hot Malaysian weather can feel heavy, cakey, and uncomfortable. What if we told you that you could achieve a radiant, even-toned complexion while keeping your skin fresh and breathable? Enter tinted sunscreen, the ultimate foundation replacement for Raya, paired with a setting spray to lock in your perfect festive look!
Why Tinted Sunscreen is the Best Foundation Alternative for Raya
1. Lightweight & Breathable
Unlike traditional foundations, tinted sunscreens provide sheer-to-medium coverage without clogging your pores. This makes them perfect for long wear, especially when hopping from one open house to another.
2. Sun Protection for Outdoor Visits
Raya means visiting relatives, taking outdoor family photos, and enjoying delicious food outside. A tinted sunscreen with SPF protects your skin from harmful UV rays, preventing sun damage and premature aging.
3. Evens Skin Tone Naturally
A good tinted sunscreen contains pigments that help blur imperfections, reduce redness, and even out skin tone, giving you a natural, fresh-faced glow without the heaviness of foundation.
4. Non-Cakey & Long-Wearing
The last thing you want is a melting foundation by midday. Tinted sunscreens are formulated to be lightweight and blend seamlessly into the skin, preventing that thick, cakey buildup.
5. Hydrates & Nourishes
Many tinted sunscreens contain skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid, niacinamide, and squalane to keep your skin hydrated throughout the day. So while you look good, your skin stays healthy and happy!
Locking It In: The Power of Setting Spray
While a tinted sunscreen gives you a beautiful base, setting spray is the secret to making sure your makeup lasts all day without budging. Here’s why you should never skip this step:
1. Keeps Your Makeup Fresh & Sweat-Proof
With the humid weather and the constant movement during Raya, a setting spray prevents your makeup from melting, smudging, or fading too quickly.
2. Gives a Natural, Dewy or Matte Finish
Depending on your skin type and preference, you can choose a setting spray that provides a dewy glow or a matte, shine-free look.
3. Adds Extra Hydration
Some setting sprays are infused with hydrating ingredients to keep your skin feeling refreshed and prevent dryness, which is perfect if you’re wearing makeup for extended hours.
4. Locks in Your Look for Hours
A few spritzes after applying your tinted sunscreen, blush, and lip color ensure that your makeup stays flawless from morning Raya prayers to late-night gatherings.
How to Achieve the Perfect Raya Makeup Look with Tinted Sunscreen & Setting Spray
Step 1: Prep Your Skin
Start with a well-moisturized face to ensure smooth application. Use a hydrating moisturizer suitable for your skin type.
Step 2: Apply Tinted Sunscreen
Use your fingers or a damp beauty sponge to blend the tinted sunscreen evenly across your face. Layer slightly more on areas that need extra coverage.
Step 3: Add a Touch of Color
Apply a cream blush for a natural flush and some lip tint to enhance your look while keeping it effortless.
Step 4: Set with a Spray
Once your makeup is complete, hold your setting spray about 15cm away from your face and spritz lightly. Let it dry naturally for a locked-in, long-lasting finish.
This Raya, embrace the effortless beauty of tinted sunscreen for a flawless, breathable complexion. Say goodbye to heavy foundation and hello to a natural, radiant glow that lasts all day. Don’t forget to seal the deal with a setting spray to keep everything fresh and in place. Whether you’re enjoying ketupat, rendang, or taking family photos, your skin will thank you for the lightweight yet stunning look!
