I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Promising review: "I finally tried out my new setting spray for the first time ever, and it was excellent! My full face of makeup lasted me the whole day, which I’m pleasantly surprised about! Usually, my makeup would melt off and transfer within a few hours. But with this setting spray? It stayed on for several hours on this extremely sweaty, hot day! That’s amazing right there! I should’ve bought this a long time ago! I’m def gonna use this all the time, especially on special occasions." —Soraya B.

Promising review: "So initially I didn't like the gel at all! However, after taking my time, this gel turns out to be an all-year star! Great for the humidity of Hawaii, the heat of the Dominican Republic, and the harsh winter of New York. Definitely staying in my holy grail!" —KJC

Get it from Ulta for $12+ (available in two sizes).

Promising reviews: "I live in Florida, and this powder holds up in the heat and humidity. It’s lightweight, and the color match was perfect." —Charlie

"I have purchased this three times in the color sienna, and it is perfect! Totally worth all the hype on TikTok. This is a very emollient powder that sticks to the skin. I prep with sunscreen and then use this. The fragrance dissipates quickly. I noticed the actual powder is bouncy to the touch. Have not used the pelican or sponge that comes with it. I like to use a powder brush. It gives me full coverage, and I look flawless all day. I also don’t need to blot. And I am very oily. Will certainly continue to repurchase. This is the best powder I have tried since Mac Studio Fix." —Maria Webba

Promising review: "Nars Tinted Moisturizer has been in my foundation rotation for the past 10+ years. Such a great staple, and I've been wearing it ever since I repurchased it. Light on my skin, shockingly, stays on through the 100-degree heat here in California. There is a slight fresh smell to it that makes it nostalgic. Great product!" —Lisa

"Love the coverage, subtle radiance, and longevity of this product! And the fact that it has sunscreen is the best! Nice job, Nars!!" —Jo

Get it from Nars for $50 (available in 16 shades).

Promising reviews: "If you deal with frizz or your hair gets puffy with humidity, you have to try this spray. The Dream Coat literally seals the hair and leaves it super smooth and shiny. It lasts me through several washes, and the best part is that it doesn’t make my hair feel heavy.” —Oderay Cairo

"This product is incredible — just WOW. In all my years of existence, I was never able to transform my naturally curly hair into a sleek, silky, frizz-free look, until now. I don't know what kind of magical sorcery went into making this product, but this stuff is amazing." —Lillee45

Get it from Amazon for $14+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I work as a cocktail waitress outside in 100+ degree heat for 8+ hours, and my makeup doesn’t budge!! I’ve never had any issues with the bottle breaking, and I’ve repurchased at least four times." —idkanna

Get it from Sephora for $20+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This is a great blotting powder. It blended perfectly, and I didn't have to use a lot. Even in the heat, my makeup didn't move. The packaging is also nice, and you can refill it." —TRL14

Get it from Sephora for $20+ (available in two sizes).

Check out a TikTok of the taming wand in action. 

(It goes without saying that you don't need to lay your edges if you don't want to, but this is a handy option if you do.) 

Promising reviews: "Living in a humid area, this product came highly recommended — and it delivered! The styling cream smooths frizz without weighing my hair down, and the taming wand is perfect for flyaways and edges. Love how it leaves my hair sleek and polished all day!" —LilyMae

"LOVE!!! It doesn't make hair greasy, it gets rid of my super frizzy hair, and smooths it down. Easily applied, and the applicator is super functional. I love and will definitely buy again for the price! Super good look to it." —Devon Reid

Promising review: "Loving this product so far! I got this for humid Florida days when I wanted my hair styled, and so far, it hasn't disappointed! Great hold and controls how the humidity affects my hair, but doesn't leave my hair heavy and weighed down." —kelseyb93

Promising reviews: "All the hype it's getting is completely deserved, OMG! I live in a super hot place, I sweat excessively, and setting spray doesn't even set my makeup, but this seals my makeup and keeps it intact for hours. It's marvelous!" —Prizz

"This stuff is AMAZING!!! I saw a demo in a YouTube video and thought I would give it a try — what a treasure find!!! It says blur, and blur it does!! Talk about softening a look! I never want to be without this product again!! It made my 60-year-old face look 10 years younger!!" —Christine McG

Get it from Amazon for $12.88+ (available in four shades). 

BuzzFeed contributor Jordan Grigsby has this and says, "I finally got my hands on this bad boy, and oh, baby, it is incredible. I had been trying to figure out how to style my curly clip-in extensions and make them match my real hair, but nothing had been working. I did a braid-out three times, and it was a mess each time. I was literally ready to give up and just straighten my hair again. That is, until I added this. This and the moisture-sealing lotion work ridiculously well together; they're the most magical duo for curls ever. My braid-out turned out so perfectly, I'm still in disbelief. Plus, my hair isn't oily!! It absorbed so well. I put it on one side of my hair at a time, and the difference was wild. My curls haven't looked this curly in years, and when I add this to my straight extensions, it helps my hair blend so much better. 

Also, it smells so freakin' good. Cécred literally never disappoints. This oil is liquid gold. I'm obsessed. I stand ten toes behind this oil and literally every product I've tried from the line. These are my all-time favorite hair products, no competition."

Promising review: "I honestly did not want to give in because it's kind of pricey and thought it may be hyped up, but this is one of the best hair oils I have used. I have thick, dyed hair that gets frizzy in the Florida humidity, and this helped me stay frizz-free after a FRESH BLOWOUT. If you are in a humid environment and have any curl to your hair, you know how huge that is!" —LSSE

Rosalee And Co. is a woman-owned small business that specializes in hair products made from naturally derived ingredients. 

Note: This gel should be refrigerated and used within 6–12 weeks of opening, as it is 100% natural and free of artificial preservatives.

Promising reviews: "The gel is light, conditioning, scentless, which is nice because you can keep it that way or add a drop of essential oil fragrance of your choice. I wanted this gel to keep the frizz under control in the humid summers, but I hate those gels that make your hair hard and look wet and crunchy, and I wanted to use a natural product on my hair." —Christine

"Better than what I expected. My hair is less frizzy, and the curls are more pronounced. My hair looks nourished, and I love the fact that this is a clean product and I am supporting a woman-owned business." —Marta Shepherd

Get it from Rosalee And Co on Etsy for $14+ (available in two sizes and with or without a pump lid).

Promising reviews: "I really liked this skin tint, it's good for my hormonal acne and oily skin. I wore it on a hot day when I was sweating, and it lasted pretty well." —Mary

"I absolutely adore this tint, it's called a skin tint but honestly covers like a foundation with the skin tint feel, extremely lightweight and comfortable. Most of all, it gives the most beautiful finish, lasts all day, and I set it with L'Oréal setting spray. I had no issues with transfer or looking cakey throughout the day. Gives a very natural, smooth blurring finish. I have ance prone dry skin, and this does not cause me to break out either. Give it a try!" —Tiffany

Get it from Ulta for $34 (available in 24 shades).

Promising review: "Best conditioning treatment that protects hair against hot and humid conditions! Fights frizz and tames flyaways, even in the most humid weather! Have bought this over and over again!" —M. 

Shine in a silicone-free product?! Dreams really do come true.

Promising review: "I don’t always write reviews, but I had to write a review about this. My girlfriend told me about it. I have hair that gets frizzy when it’s humid out. This stuff makes my hair shiny, smooth, silky, and helps with frizz. It’s amazing!!! You will notice a difference with just one use!!" —Carrie G.

Former BuzzFeed Shopping writer Jordan Grigsby has this and says, "I love, love, love this stufffff, omg. My skin is oily oily (gotta say it twice for emphasis), and I have spent my entire teen/adult life looking for products that'll make me matte and KEEP me matte. I've tried so many setting powders and literally none can compete with this one. This powder is a serious bad B. I mean, pores? Nonexistent. Oily, shiny face? Not up in here. I'm gagged every time. Just call me a walking IG filter, 'kay, it's that good. Patrick, I could kiss you for this freakin' powder. *OH!* and BTW I am a brown-skinned woman and the translucent shade works perfectly for me. No cakey, weird, suuuper light powder, no flashback, nothing. Looks just like my skin!!"

One/Size is a queer, Filipino-owned business founded by makeup expert Patrick Starr to ensure that makeup is really one size fits all, as it should be. 

Promising reviews: "This is my tried and true!! This powder with the primer is such a good combo! It lasts all day, from a hot football game to the bar on the same day, no smudge, and a mini size will last you a few months!! I would recommend!!" —suugie

"Literally, what's in this powder? Beauty spells? I have normal to dry skin, but tend to grease up pretty easily when I use dewy foundations. I used this for the first time today and fell absolutely in love! I usually don’t care too much for high-end powders or powders at all, but this one, for me, is top tier. It didn’t necessarily dry out my skin, but it stopped it from becoming greasy, and it kept my makeup looking the same as when I applied it for hours. I definitely will be repurchasing, I’ve never been more in love with a setting powder!" —Kamoni

Get it from Sephora for $19+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).

Promising review: "If you have acne-prone skin, try this setting spray. I have had acne for four years now, but this is the only setting spray that doesn’t break me out and actually makes my makeup last. I have oily skin and live in a hot and humid environment. Try this spray, PLEASE! This is my fifth time buying it, and I will never use another setting spray again. This is THAT girl." —abigv

Get it from Sephora for $18+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "This is hands down the best hairspray I have ever used. Though it is supposed to be 'unscented,' it does have a scent to it. But it is not that overbearing standard hairspray smell. It is a very light, clean-smelling scent. What I love about this hairspray is that it is 'brushable.' After you style your hair and spray it, you can essentially brush it out so that your hair feels soft and doesn't feel like you've got hairspray in it. AND it still holds your style. I live in the panhandle of Florida, where it is almost 100% humidity every day, and this hairspray works wonders even in the most humid climates. No crunchy feeling, even if you choose not to brush your hair out. This product is a must." —kel07

Get it from Amazon for $12.57+ (also available in a two-pack).

Promising reviews: "Honestly amazed at how well this mask tames my frizz. My hair stays soft and smooth even after humidity." —daniqqa

"It’s a very pleasant and light scent. I have damaged and breakage-prone, wavy hair that easily gets frizzy. I like that the Dream Crème makes my hair feel silky smooth and less frizzy without weighing my hair down." —LexNixon

Promising reviews: "I have never been a big eyeshadow person, but have become one every once in a while. I've used this for about five months, and I am still on the first tube I ordered. A little bit goes a long way. You do have to rub it in; it is white. I can put my eye makeup on at 6 a.m. and take it off at 3 a.m., and it still looks like it was just applied. I bought it again because Iam running low. Can't imagine eyeshadow without it. Worth every penny." —Krisstina

"Works great! Huge difference in my eyeshadow going on smoothly and staying in place, especially in this hot California weather I’m in. Also seeing a difference in my eyeliner starting intact. Won’t apply eye makeup without it! Also, the quality is as good as the more expensive primers I’ve purchased in the past from Sephora. Would recommend!" —G.S.

BuzzFeed shopping editor Jenae Sitzes has this and absolutely loves it, "I first put this setting spray to the test for a wedding that involved taking many trains in and out of Manhattan on a hot day and being in crowded rooms where airflow was ~limited~. As such, I was sweating up a storm, but my makeup looked *flawless* by the time I got home that night — all thanks to this Urban Decay setting spray that I knew after one use, I'd be repurchasing. I'm new to setting sprays, so it felt weird at first to spray something *on top* of my carefully crafted makeup look, but it dried in no time without messing anything up. It also didn't feel heavy or sticky on my face — it didn't feel like anything at all, actually — and my makeup looked better than it ever has after hours of wear. (For reference, I have dry, sensitive skin, and it caused me no issues.) 

Soon after that event, I put it to an even bigger task: surviving sweat, tears, and 12 hours of wear for the Taylor Swift Eras Tour. My makeup look (pictured above) was done by 2 p.m., and thanks to my now highly trusted Urban Decay spray, it stayed completely intact (minus the lipstick I purposefully wiped off while scarfing down post-concert pizza) until the time I got home just after 2 a.m. Here's what it endured during that timespan: multi-leg public transportation to and from the venue, waiting in lines under the blaring sun to get in, several meals and drinks, jumping, screaming, and literally full-on crying several times during the show. My liquid eyeliner, eyeshadow, non-waterproof mascara, foundation, blush, and even glitter (for the most part) were unfazed, and I owe it all to this setting spray."

Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in two sizes, two-packs, and travel duos).

Promising review: "I understand why it's so expensive. I saw the price of the normal size and decided to just try the travel size. Having super thin hair, I don't like it to feel weighed down, and most products don't last in the Florida humidity. This gave my hair volume and lasted all day. It is worth the price if you have thinning hair and want a little boost." —Jules

Get it from Ulta for $16+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I will admit — I am a bit of a makeup snob and prefer to shop only at Sephora. But I hadn't found a holy grail primer there, so I thought it couldn't hurt to try this one, and I am so glad I did! It creates a smooth finish on your face before you put on foundation, and my makeup stays put all day. My makeup didn't even budge when I was in Croatia in 100-degree HUMID heat and on a kayak... So definitely recommend at least giving this a try. :)" —Keri 

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in two versions).

Promising reviews: "This has been especially nice for the hot summer — keeps foundation from 'melting.'" —lori

"I was skeptical, but after trying this poreless putty, my mind is forever changed! It makes my pores look smaller and seems like they're gone forever! Apply it and then apply foundation. It makes my skin feel great! No bad odor, and it doesn't make my skin oily! I will keep using this product!" —Christy

Get it from Amazon for $11 (available in four formulas).

Promising reviews: "Love this product. Does well on my hair in humidity." —Annette

"Decided to try it for the amazing smell I've come to love from Amika. LOVE that it is an aerosol and not a heavy, wet spray. I love everything about it and will continue to buy." —Rachel

Get it from Ulta for $14+ (available in two sizes).

Promising reviews: "I am in love with this! I’ve told so many people about it! I live in Louisiana, which is hot and very humid. Therefore, I would get shiny often so I’d touch up with powder, and by the end of the day, my makeup looked cakey. So this roller is miraculous! It just glides on your face and instantly shines is gone, and better yet, it doesn’t take your makeup off!" —Angie Manganello

"First off, if you have extremely oily skin, this. is. it. I was so tired of getting blotting powder/wipes. It felt wasteful and always left residue on my face. I saw this on TikTok and NEEDED it. Not only is it affordable, but it's also washable, which helps you save money and be less wasteful. It felt like the holy grail had been delivered to my front doorstep. After my first use, I was in love. Now, it doesn't pick up everything, but it does make it more matte and gives you a natural look. I am so excited this product exists, and I already feel more confident." —Kelsey B.

It comes with 50 papers, 10 adhesive refills, and a compact mirror.

Promising reviews: "Best lil' invention ever! I actually enjoy blotting my face now! It's way too easy! For such a simple set-up, there was a whole lot of thought put into it! I literally smile every time I grab for it. I use it on days I don't even wear makeup, like when my SPF is too glowy, or it's really humid out. Literally the coolest, and I like not having to press a piece of paper onto my face; it feels more sanitary. Totally worth its very affordable price!" —turtlegonfab

"I have super oily skin, and these blotting sheets are a lifesaver! They soak up excess oil without disturbing my makeup, leaving my face looking fresh and matte. Super easy to use on the go. I keep a few in my purse for midday touch-ups. Definitely a must-have for anyone with oily skin!" —Danyazah

Get them from Sephora for $12 (also available in a refill size).

Promising review: "Lightweight and effective. This heat and humidity gel really helps tame frizz without weighing my hair down. It smooths flyaways, adds a soft shine, and keeps styles in place even in humid weather. I like that it doesn't feel sticky or crunchy, and my hair still feels touchable throughout the day. Great for sleek looks or just keeping things under control on hot days." —Mie

Get it from Ulta for $10+ (available in four sizes).

Promising reviews: "I put this powder on under my foundation as a tip from a makeup artist, and boy did it impress me! I tried it yesterday while it was hot outside, and my face never got oily!! I really couldn’t believe it because I have tried every product under the sun to combat the excessive oil my face produces, and finally, something that works! I will never be without this product!!" —c. jones

"I loved this setting powder, it blurred the appearance of my pores and blended my makeup so well that even my husband noticed. Wow! I will be buying more before people find it and sell it all out, hehehe." —Charlotte Laim

Get it from Amazon for $25 (also available in a refill size and keychain styles).

This serum also offers heat protection up to 446 degrees Fahrenheit, so it's great to apply before any heat styling. Plus! Reviewers compare this to the $44 Gisou hair oil!

Promising reviews: "This really stops the frizz on a hot, humid summer day in Houston. I was surprised that it worked. I just used shampoo and conditioner. and then this product on my curly shoulder-length hair. I did a blow out and and it looks great. I did a full '90s blowout. I slept on it and combed it out in the morning, no frizz or touch-up needed. I have been outside between the parking lot and the office building several times today, as it is 80% humidity and 92 degrees outside. My hair is very soft too, and not sticky or greasy... Definitely will buy more." —MEB

"Literally, the best hair product you can possibly get that is affordable and doesn’t leave your hair greasy — it makes it shiny and super soft. After I get out of the shower, when my hair is still damp, I put some on my ends and work the rest up into the top of my head. Sometimes I blow my hair dry after I get out of the shower and put it on, and then after I blow dry it, I put it on some more, and it looks absolutely beautiful — no greasy hair here. My hair type is fine and gets oily really fast, and yet somehow this product tames it a bit and keeps it looking nourished for days! Will purchase again and again!!!" —Tara Klein

Get it from Amazon for $17.09+ (available in two sizes and six other formulas and products).

The set comes with two double-ended pens. Each pen has one side with the wing stamp and the other with a traditional liquid eyeliner tip.

Promising review: "I’ve used this for over a year as it is the best I have found so far. The stamp makes it so easy I was able to put my eyeliner on in the back of a cab blasting through NYC traffic in less than three minutes with no issues and is so long lasting it survives the brutal humidity and temps on the southern East Coast with barely a smudge. 10/10." —Frede
