How to Make Your Makeup Last All Day
As you go about your day, your makeup can run or cook cakey, which will mean you might need to touch it up throughout the day. Using the right products in the right order can make your makeup last longer. Here are some tips to help your makeup last from morning to evening.
Exfoliate your skin regularly to remove dead skin cells. This will help your makeup stay on better.
Use a lightweight moisturizer in the morning and at night. Choose a product with SPF to protect your skin from sun damage. Wait 30 minutes after putting on your moisturizer before applying makeup to give your moisturizer a chance to set.
One of the best ways to help your makeup last all day is to apply concealer before your foundation. Put it on under your eyes, on top of your eyelids, under your nose, and near the tips of your lips. This will brighten your face and help you use less foundation and other products, which will prevent a cakey look. Concealer will lighten your skin, but it won’t be visible after you apply your foundation. Concealer can also help eye shadow stick to your eyelids better.
Use a foundation that goes on like a cream, sets into a solid finish, and doesn’t cake, run, or look oily. A BB cream or powder can be a good choice.
You can make your eyeliner last all day by applying a little bit of neutral-colored eye shadow, such as beige, cream, or white, to the rims of your eyelids with your index finger. This will make your eyeliner adhere better and lighten your eyes.
You can make your lipstick last longer by priming your lips. Apply a small amount of a cream-based concealer to your lips before your lipstick. This will keep your lipstick set all day long.
Your hands have natural oils. If you apply products with your fingers, the oils can make your makeup not last as long. Use brushes to apply makeup instead. Use the appropriate size brush for each product. Powder brushes are large and fluffy, and small brushes allow you to create intense color in one spot.
