Bali is a humid tropical climate. The wet season has of course more cloud coverage and humidity than the dry season, so if you are getting married in the wet season or a month or so around the wet season, you will have to expect a higher amount of humidity, thus, more sweating.
You and your bridal party will be expected to be having hair and makeup done in an air conditioned room and then to minimise time spent outdoors once the makeup and hair is finished until the ceremony begins. If you or any of your bridal party tend to get emotional, you’re expected to wrap a tissue around one finger and lightly pat your eyes. Any rubbing will remove makeup.
Alcohol also increases the body temperature, so if anyone runs particularly hot, I recommend alcohol intake to be at a minimum during makeup time.
Some mothers suffering from menopause and hot flushes may want to reconsider having makeup done because any profuse sweating can create an issue for the foundation to adhere to the skin. I recommend to all my clients to have a mineral powder or blotting papers to use after the ceremony and then again after the photo shoot. I also recommend having a lip gloss or lipstick for touch-ups at those times also. Generally just prior to entering the reception would be the final touch up you do for yourself for the evening, as once the reception starts, you’ll be enjoying yourself and spending time with your family and friends that you won’t want to run off to the bathroom for touch ups all the time. Unless you have a medical condition for sweating, you won’t need to either.
