Tips for How to Makeup Last All Day
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


♥ 1♥ Start with a perfectly clean face. Never apply fresh makeup over yesterday’s leftovers. You should have washed. your face the night before, so all you have to do is use a toner to remove any oils that may have been created overnight.


♥ 2 ♥ Use the right moisturizer. Choose a moisturizer that is right for your skin type (e.g., normal, oily, combination). Don’t forget to always use a moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or greater—protecting your face from sun exposure is super important for maintaining your beauty and reducing the aging and damaging effects of sun exposure.


♥ 3 ♥ Use makeup primers to help smooth skin. Primers help to fill in small lines and wrinkles and make the skin ready to have makeup applied. Primers can help to even out skin tone, minimize redness and help to conceal under eye bags and puffiness.


♥ 4 ♥ Apply foundation evenly. Choose a good foundation product, again, one that is appropriate for your skin type. Apply evenly, using a sponge rather than your fingers. Try mineral based products for best results.


♥ 5 ♥ Use powder. After applying foundation, use a translucent powder to “set” the foundation and help prevent it from breaking down due to skin oils. Apply the powder to your eyelids as well, to control the oils that will be created in the eyelid area which will prevent creasing of the eye makeup as the day wears on.


♥ 6 ♥ Avoid touching your face. Resist the urge to rub your eyes or touch your face during the day. Not only are you likely to smear or smudge your makeup, but the oils and dirt from your hands will cause the makeup to not last as long.


♥ 7 ♥ Touch up as needed. A quick lunchtime touch up with a powder compact and disposable blotting papers can help to absorb the oils that your skin has created in the T-Zone (forehead, nose and chin), and give you a fresh clean look that will last for the rest of the day. Lightly apply another layer of translucent powder by dabbing, not rubbing. Also, take a quick moment to reapply your lipstick, and you are ready to go!
