In this fast-paced world we live in now, most women barely have enough time to put on some makeup in the morning, and have no time doing it again in the afternoon or freshen it up time after time. So the need to apply long-lasting makeup has become more and more of an issue. We offer you here some tips on how to make your makeup last longer.

 

Prepare Your Face

The first step to make your makeup last longer is taking care of your skin. Exfoliate your skin twice a week, and apply moisturizer once you wash and dry your face. Applying makeup on well-maintained skin will make it last longer and look more radiant.

 

Moisturize and Prime

Apply moisturizer and wait a few minutes for it dry, and then use a primer before applying makeup. This prevents your skin from absorbing makeup products and will make them last much longer. Do not forget about using eye primers to make your eye makeup last longer too.

 

Oil-free Foundation

Using oil-free foundation will make it last longer by reducing the chance of it slipping off of your face.

 

Put on Layers

When applying foundation, lipstick, and eye makeup, apply several light layers of each instead of applying a single heavy layer. This can make your makeup last much longer than it normally would.

 

Long Blush

Instead of using powder for blush, apply cream or liquid cheek stain. With these varieties, you will not have to replace them repeatedly as they last much longer than powder.

 

Setting Powder

You should use loose powder to seal in your makeup. This can prevent makeup from smudging or disappearing from your face. It is best to use translucent powder so as not to change the colors of your makeup. Alternatively, you can use setting spray for the same results.

 

Lasting Lipstick

Lipstick is probably the first thing of your makeup to go when you leave home. To make it last longer, apply the lipstick and blot it by gently biting down on a tissue paper with your lips. Finish by use some translucent powder to set it in and make it last for much longer.

 

Waterproof Eye Makeup

Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner to prevent them from smudging and smearing around your eyes and lids. Using waterproof mascara and eyeliner will prevent that and will make them last longer.

 

Use Long-lasting Makeup

Some makeup products are designed to be long-lasting, and these can be used to give you a more natural look instead of appearing to have a heavy makeup look.
