How To Get Your Makeup Last Longer

Does your makeup last all day? There are only a few things worse than spending a huge time on your makeup, only to discover it was all in vain by lunch. You can quit being a victim of this annoying experience, see how to keep your 'beauty' intact all day.

Prime That Face!

Primers are used to prepare the face for other makeup, it serves as a base. Primer is super important when it comes to making your 'beauty' last till eternity. It's like the foundation to your foundation. Primers are packed with silicone which prevents the oil on your face from washing off your makeup. 

Before applying any other makeup, smooth a primer all over the face including your eyelid and under eye. 

I know we might have tried some face primers but using benefit 'the porefessional' is a game changer. Do not apply so much of it to avoid oily result and also allow it to dry for 20secs before applying foundation. 

Foundation-Powder Formula

Use a foundation brush to evenly blend in foundation on your face. This synthetic brush deposits a thinner layer of foundation than your finger does. Less is more! "The more makeup you apply, the more there is to slide, smudge or smear" says Godwin. Only apply the foundation you need and use a concealer to cover blemishes. I always use makeup sponge to press in my foundation afterwards, sometimes with little skin finish mineral powder e.g is MAC mineralize skinfinish natural. 

Be sure to cover your foundation with powder, or all your makeup will soon disappear. Always use a invisible/translucent color or one that is as close to your skin colour as possible. An example is Ben Nye Translucent Powder. 

Eye Primer Power

Eye primer is also an essential for your eye-makeup to last longer. Good eye primers make the eyeshadow stick to the eyelid like metal to magnet. An example of a good eye primer is Urban decay's eye primer portion. It makes that eyeshadow creasing on the eyelid a thing of the past and helps capture eyeshadow colour on your eyelid. 

Eye primers are only used on the eyelid and not underneath the eyelid. 

There are a lot more open secrets on how to prolong your "beauty" for each day, but I'll wrap it up here for today. I hope we can try out these little tricks and experience the improvement we've always longed for.  It's easy! Purchase the right products and get started!
