Hello, beauties! Today we are all about making makeup last the whole day. Here are some tips and tricks on how to go about it:
- Use products made for your skin type: If you have dry skin, go for makeup products that hydrate it like liquid foundations with hyaluronic acid. Moisturizing dry skin prevents your makeup from flaking off and peeling during the day. If your skin is prone to oil buildup and breakouts, use a mattifying foundation powder with salicylic acid. Salicylic acid is an exfoliant that helps fight blemishes and controls oil production in the skin.
2. Blot excess oil from your skin: Oil buildup on the skin is one of the leading causes of makeup melting over the course of the day. Use blotting papers or even pocket tissues to dab away excess oil on your face. If you have naturally oily skin, use a matte finish or oil-free foundation to prevent excess oil from building up and smearing your makeup.
3. Avoid applying too many layers of makeup: Applying too many layers of makeup makes the product come off during the day. When applying foundation, for instance, start with a thin layer and use a brush or beauty blender to dab products into the skin. Go for long-wearing products that will not require you to add on layers.
4. Use a primer before applying makeup: A pea-sized amount is all you need. Spread it all over your face before applying foundation and the rest of your makeup. This helps keep the products in place.
5. Apply setting powder: This is the final step to set your makeup. Setting powder prevents your face makeup from smudging throughout the day. Apply a setting powder that matches your skin tone. Using a brush, gently dab the makeup brush along your jawline, cheeks, forehead, and nose. If your skin is prone to oil buildup, add an extra light layer of setting powder to your forehead, nose area and chin.
