Make your makeup last all day
What’s worse than spending hours putting on your makeup, knowing it will only last a few hours? Many of us have struggled to make our makeup last longer. Below are some tips and suggestions to make your makeup last longer.
Care your skin
A painter always chooses a new, smooth and clean canvas for his paintings. Likewise, before putting on makeup, it is important that our skin is clean, moisturized and hydrated. If your skin isn’t healthy and clean, then your makeup won’t look good and it won’t stay on for long either. Drinking plenty of water is essential for good healthy skin. For the outdoors, we must choose the right products that address our concerns.
Cleansing, exfoliation, and moisturizing are essential steps in achieving great skin. These steps should be included in everyone’s skin care regimen for clear, healthy skin.
primer
Primer is a base layer for all your makeup. Use primer on both the face and the eyes. It helps prevent makeup wrinkles and is a great way to make makeup last longer. There are many primers out there depending on your requirements and preferences. Whether you want a shimmery one or a matte one, there are all kinds of primers for different skin types.
Always apply foundation first
Many women tend to apply concealer first, then foundation. This is a wrong approach, which is why both apply. The concealer is applied with smooth movements, while the foundation is dragged and blended all over the face. Also use an oil free foundation. If you apply concealer first, all of the concealer will be washed away with the foundation, resulting in an uneven makeup application.
Remove excess oil
Although extra oily and hydrated skin has its benefits of reducing wrinkles and fine lines, they give the appearance of oily skin. No makeup looks good or lasts long if your skin is oily; it just results in the makeup running. Always carry face powder and blotting paper with you so you can continue to remove oil and shine from your skin. Not only will this step make your makeup last longer, but it will also ensure that your makeup looks great.
avoid touching your face
We literally use our hands all the time, so a lot of dirt and oil accumulates on our hands. If you are in the habit of touching your face a lot, then you are transferring that oil and dirt to your face. By avoiding touching your face you manage to minimize the fat on your face and keep your makeup intact. The more you touch your face, the more your makeup will come off, causing your makeup to get ruined and come off sooner. If you have a habit of touching your face, you can use a setting spray, this will lessen your need to touch your face and keep your makeup in place.
Use the right tools
If you think that having the best products will result in great and long-lasting makeup, you are wrong. Makeup tools are just as important as makeup products that affect how long your makeup lasts. Using quality brushes and sponges will ensure good coverage and blended makeup.
loose powder
Using loose powder to set your makeup is a great option when you don’t want to feel like you’ve added something extra to your skin. A small amount of loose powder goes a long way with a brush and reduces oiliness and shine on skin. You can also layer your cream or liquid based products with a matching powder.
