Looking for makeup that lasts through sweat, humidity, or oily skin? In this episode, we’re joined by award-winning British makeup artist Ruby Hammer, MBE, who’s here to share her best-kept secrets for truly long-lasting makeup — no matter the weather or skin type.

She also co-founded the trailblazing, inclusive brand Ruby & Millie and now runs her own high-performance cosmetics line, Ruby Hammer Beauty.
