1. Benefit Cosmetics The POREfessional Face Primer
Price: B1,250
Primer is an absolute must for making sure your makeup stays on. The POREfessional primer from Benefit has been a cult product for years for its ability to reduce shine and the appearance of pores—ideal for those with oily skin.
2. Too Faced Hangover Primer Replenishing Face Primer
Price: B1,590
If you’re a dry-skinned kind of girl, try this primer, which is perfect for making your skin look well-rested and hydrated—no hangover required.
3. Collection Lasting Perfection Concealer

This is drugstore makeup that actually works. The concealer from the British high-street brand can compete with products that go for much higher prices. Despite coming in only three colors, its coverage and long-lasting effect are undeniable.
4. Srichand Translucent Powder
Price: B280

5. Laura Mercier Caviar Stick Eye Colour
Price: B990
While your typical eyeshadow needs a good base to hold on to, this cream eyeshadow stick makes a more efficient option. It's not only easy to use, both on its own or under a powder eyeshadow, the cream formula can also survive a good rain storm.
6. Passion Ville Cream Blush on the Road
Price: B420
Cream blushes are great for creating a natural flush. This one by Passion Ville, a popular and affordable Thai brand known for its super colorful range, has wonderful, long-lasting effects.
7. Tarte Lights Camera Splashes Waterproof Mascara
Price: B850
Having smudged eyes after running through the rain is not a cute look. This waterproof mascara from Tarte makes your lashes look gorgeous, even in the sweat and rain. Its volumizing and staying power are truly outstanding.
8. Super Mom Matte Liquid Lipstick
Price: B159
Don’t underestimate this Thai budget-friendly cosmetic. Super Mom has jumped on the liquid lipstick bandwagon with several pigmented colors, from mauve or brown for a Kylie Jenner-inspired look to fuchsia pink or bright orange for something more out-there.
9. Make Up For Ever Aqua Seal
Price: B1,050
If you don’t want to spend too much on waterproof makeup but still need to look presentable at the office this rainy season, try this magical liquid converter that can instantly transform powder formulas and pencils into smudge-proof, long-lasting makeup.
10. Urban Decay All Nighter Long-Lasting Makeup Setting Spray
Price: B1,300

11. Bourjois Bronzing Primer
Price: B609
Despite having no primer qualities whatsoever, this chocolate-scented product from the French drug-store brand works very well as a cream contour. The formula is very creamy and the color is subtle.
