Tips on how to make your makeup stay longer

Tell me, ladies, how many times have you left your place looking

flawless and great only to return back looking like in a horror movie!? I bet A LOT! Yes, everyone wants to look beautiful all day long and therefore, here are some tips for you! ;)

To begin with, remember the word “moisturizer”! Why? It is easy - a moisturizer will not only plump and hydrate your skin and allow foundation to go on more smoothly but it will also help your makeup stay on longer! However, it is important not to over moisturize! Too much moisture can be a barrier for your cosmetics to properly adhere to your skin. Besides, it will literally slip off your face and/or move around. And you don’t want that, right?

Secondly, remember to prime you face! Primers prepare your skin for makeup by creating a protective base, which ensures an even coverage, and helps foundation and eye shadows glide on. Also, primers give makeup incredible staying power, whereas without a primer, makeup tends to be absorbed and look blotchy half way through the day.

Thirdly, do not forget to set the foundation with the face powder! Powder makes the foundation last longer, evens out your skin and conceals minor blemishes. Besides, it also prevents shine and gives skin a matte finish.

You may be wondering whether there are any tips for your lips... For sure! Filling your lips with a lip liner or even applying a layer of foundation on the lips can make your lipstick stay on longer.

Finally, do not forget about waterproof mascara! It does not run or smudge and therefore looks the same as when you have applied it... even if it was five hours ago!

Good luck and remember – You are beautiful! ;)
