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.

With a career spanning nearly four decades, Ruby has worked on editorial shoots for British Vogue, ELLE UK, and Italian Vogue, painting the faces of icons like Kate Moss. She also co-founded the trailblazing, inclusive brand Ruby & Millie and now runs her own high-performance cosmetics line, Ruby Hammer Beauty.

In this pro makeup masterclass, Ruby breaks down exactly how to prep, prime, and set your makeup so it stays fresh — even through intense heat or post-gym sweat.

🎧 In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How-to build a long-lasting makeup routine, starting with the essential skincare prep for oily or dull skin to help makeup adhere better and stay longer

  • Which makeup primers Ruby recommends (and her honest take on trending “gripping primers”)

  • Her signature “like-with-like” blush method that makes colour last without fading forlong workdays or even a wedding
  • The classic setting powders and products she says are truly un-dupable

  • Her pro trick for long-lasting lip color that doesn’t budge — even through meals, workouts and the muggiest days
