Learn the best methods for maximum makeup fix and find out how to apply the cosmetics so as to help them survive the entire night and look good till the small hours.
Makeup base
Without treating face with the right cosmetics and without appropriate skin preparation, no makeup lasts even a few hours. Therefore, it is so crucial to keep cleansing and moisturising your complexion regularly and applying makeup base. Use micellar lotion which will remove impurities from your face and balance pH of skin. You can apply a light moisturising cream but remember that many makeup bases already fulfil this task. While choosing this cosmetic, pay attention to its formula to be not so oily. Match makeup base to your skin needs and the function it’s supposed to serve. To clarify, silicone makeup bases smooth wrinkles, green-coloured ones hide redness, yellow-coloured camouflage dark circles under eyes and the highlighting ones gift skin with radiant look. Last but not least, in order to obtain natural and healthy look, a really thin layer of a makeup base is all you needed.
How to do eye makeup?
Do eye makeup right after applying a base. If shades dust your cheeks, it won’t be difficult for you to swipe it off. What should be done to prevent shades from gathering in creases? The easiest way is to apply either a concealer or a special eyeshadow keeper. If you want to wear glitter eyeshadow, apply two layers of a base or a concealer. Also remember about a nude shade thanks to which it will be easier for you to blend colour eye shades. Last step, finish your eye makeup by applying an eyeliner and a mascara, both in their waterproof versions.
Lifespan of foundation
For makeup that has to last all night choose a foundation that you have already tested before, the one that answers needs of your skin. Highlighting and moisturising foundations will look good on dry complexion, oily complexion will look better with mattifying foundation on. Try to find a product that neither clog your skin pores nor gathers in creases of your skin. Moreover, all skin imperfections can be covered by a concealer that is one tone lighter than the foundation. Apply it and blend either with a brush or a sponge. Mind you, the way you apply a foundation is crucial. Therefore, reach either for a damp sponge or a flat-cut brush and apply one of the following motions: either stamp the foundation or tap it into skin. Bear in mind that the desired level of coverage can be obtained only by applying thin layers of a foundation.
Lip makeup
Many colour cosmetic producers offer either stick or liquid lipsticks the pigment of which melts into lips providing truly durable makeup. Such cosmetics don’t vanish during eating, drinking and kissing. In order to make lip makeup durable, you can apply sugar scrub first and follow with a moisturising cream. When you finally made your lips ready for makeup, start from outlining them with a lipliner and then apply a few thin layers of a lipstick.
Makeup Fixing
Cosmetics that enhance makeup durability are called setting spray or fixer. Task of the setting sprays is to refresh skin, moisturize it and combine all layers of the applied products. Thanks to them, skin gins natural shine and healthy look. Sprays can be replaced with mists, hydrolates and tonics. Fixers’ mission is to fix the entire makeup. What’s important, fixers should be applied in small amount because they can dehydrate skin.
