Before applying makeup, cleanse your face. Makeup lasts longer when applied to a clean canvas.
Use a Primer:
Primer evens out the appearance of foundation and other cosmetic products. Primers close pores, blur imperfections, and hold makeup in place.
Opt for Long-Wear Formulas:
Choose makeup that is long-lasting or smudge-proof. These formulations are resistant to dampness, sweat, and oil, making them ideal for longer wear.
Build Thin Layers:
Instead of thick makeup, apply thin layers gradually. This allows makeup to wear longer and appear more natural.
Set with Translucent Powder:
Foundation and concealer are set with a small layer of translucent powder. This absorbs oil and avoids creases and smudge of makeup.
Use Waterproof Products:
Use waterproof mascara, eyeliner, and brow products on humid days. They keep eye makeup from smearing or running.
Invest in Setting Spray:
Setting spray completes the look. Setting sprays lock in makeup, prevent fading, and extend wear time.
Blot Instead of Reapplying:
If your skin becomes greasy over the day, avoid reapplying makeup. To gently remove oil without ruining your makeup, use blotting sheets or a clean tissue.
Avoid Touching Your Face:
When you touch your face, you transmit oils and bacteria to your foundation, hastening its destruction. Avoid touching your face to extend the life of your makeup.
Stay Hydrated and Oil-Free:
Makeup lasts longer on moisturized skin. Drink enough of water and use oil-free skincare products to avoid oiliness, which can cause makeup to crumble.
