"Saving face": how to do long-lasting makeup
Summer heat strives to turn foundation on the face into a lumpy mess. Autumn oblique rain — run black streams of mascara down your cheeks. And winter – and completely cover your face with snow, removing makeup from it, like a mask. To paraphrase a well-known British proverb, let's say: there is no bad weather, there is inappropriate makeup. To make it fit — suitable for any weather — you need to know a few fail-safe secrets:
1. Base of foundations: always apply a base under makeup. Base, aka — primer, aka — makeup base — an excellent tool that will allow all subsequent cosmetics used by you (tonal foundation, matting cream ...) to lie evenly, smoothly. But what is especially important for us — the base acts as a specific make-up fixer.
Make-up bases, especially fat-free ones, have proved to be such indispensable helpers in bringing beauty that cosmetics manufacturers have even created separate primers for eyelids and eyelashes.
If you want to keep flawless makeup all day long, or even longer, give preference to fat-free bases. These products have proved to be such indispensable helpers in bringing beauty that cosmetics manufacturers have even created separate primers for eyelids and eyelashes!
2. Fight back: Choose water-repellent products. Of course, on a normal day, you should use ordinary cosmetics. But in the case of "non-flying weather" or the need to be in shape from dusk to dawn, you need to bet on water-repellent, which is not afraid of not only water, but also tears and sweat. Instead of water, manufacturers use natural polymers, mineral oils, silicone or resins in these products, making them "resistant tin soldiers". Cosmetic concerns also took care of waterproof shadows, eyeliners, powder. It is very important to remember that these types of products are applied to dry skin. Used on a moisturized (for example, cream) face, they, alas, will float and give an effect completely opposite to what is expected. Also, do not forget that remove the usual « wash» water-repellent cosmetics will not work — You need special fatty biphasic products. However, you can use coconut oil applied on a cotton pad.
3. Know the measure: persistent makeup should be moderate. It is unlikely that anyone will be able to keep the original war paint for a long time. So if the target is — long-lasting freshness, be modest when "making a face", especially with powder (just one stroke with a brush is enough) and decorative eyeliner (better use a pencil or water-repellent eyeliner — regular shadows will roll or fade).
4. Checkmate: use matting napkins. Press — literally and figuratively — long-lasting makeup is needed by applying and pressing a matting napkin lightly to the face. Owners of oily skin can resort to her help during the day, because the wipes do not erase the powder, do not break the layer of foundation, but at the same time remove excess fat, due to which the paint can “float”. Makeup looks fresher after using wipes.
5. Fix result: penultimate stroke — makeup fixer. Why penultimate? Because it is better to apply a fixative on the face before powder and blush, if you want the latter to be more expressive. However, it is possible at the very end. And there are fixatives that are applied before the cream, because they are used as a tonic. The most convenient — fixatives in the form of thermal water, spray. Many of them can be used throughout the day.
Little tricks for long-lasting makeup
In addition to the basic principles of long-lasting makeup outlined above, there are little tricks that will help you “save face” for a long time and in any weather:
- It is better to apply cosmetic products not with your fingers, but with brushes, brushes, sponges, sponges — such is the firm conviction of makeup artists. The funds applied in this way lie better on the skin and are denser, if I may say so, adjacent to it. Therefore, apply shadows with small brushes, powder — large round blush — beveled brushes. Make-up base — with a sponge, but without rubbing the product over the skin, but quickly, often and carefully pressing the sponge against it, as if squeezing the makeup base to the face.
- Make-up artists often use this trick to set the base for make-up: after applying the primer, quickly, sharply press their palms soaked in water to the face. Thanks to this, the foundation penetrates deeper into the pores and lasts longer.
- An eyeliner will not blur in small folds of the skin if, before using it, apply a little flesh-colored shadow on the eyelid, and draw a treasured line on top of them. And even better at the very beginning, powder your eyelids — then the shadows will not let you down: they will not roll. But the foundation for makeup, intended only for the face, is not applied to the eyelids because of its excessive moisture, which can cause eye makeup to be sloppy. If you do not have a special eyelid foundation, it is better to bypass this area.
- When choosing what to line your eyes with, remember: an eyeliner is 4 times more durable than a pencil.
- To avoid smudging, never use lip balms immediately before applying them. Apply lipstick with a brush (of course, you remember that you need to powder your lips before using lipstick), wait a couple of minutes, after that you can apply a little gloss.
- The secret weapon of make-up artists — steam. After finishing your makeup (with water-repellent products, of course), spray thermal water on your face or go in — don't be scared! —to the steam-filled bathroom. Moisture will not only fix the makeup, but also make it more expressive.
