Knowing what BX cosmetics products for special events to buy here in Okinawa can be quite the challenge. The average annual level of humidity in Okinawa, is about 75 percent. This thick humidity and high heat can make it difficult to find the proper cosmetics that can work for you.

In the fall and winter, there are so many special events occurring around the island, like military balls, holiday parties, and even ceremonies. In my experience, I’ve learned that the Base Exchanges (BX) on Kadena Air Base and Camp Foster carry some of my top BX cosmetics products for special events that hold up to humidity and are long lasting. 

Top BX Cosmetics Products for Special Events

Here are some of my favorite BX cosmetics products for special events, whether you’re attending a ball, ceremony or just trying to find something that works in this crazy humidity.

• NYX Studio Perfect Photo Loving Primer:  NYX products are famously known from their affordable pricing and high product quality.  This particular primer helps to blur imperfections, minimizing the appearance of pores and fine lines. It is non-comedogenic and very light weight, which is essential for all day/night use.  
• Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation: It provides a flawless finish that lasts up to 24 hours without needing touch-ups. This foundation is transfer resistant, helps control shine, and works very well on oily and combination skin.  It is available in a vast variety of shades and maintains a natural look without feeling heavy. 
• NYX Ultimate Shadow Palette: Each palette features a variety of shades, allowing for creative looks from natural to bold. These shadows are highly pigmented and easy to blend. With matte, shimmer, and satin finishes, the palettes offer versatility for different looks. 
• KISS False eyelashes: These lashes are designed for easy application and have clear bands that blend well with your natural lashes. With proper care, KISS lashes can be reused multiple times, making them a cost-effective option. They are very light well and come in a wide-variety of style and lengths.
