How to make your makeup last longer

Tired of your makeup smearing, smudging, or sweating off?
Well, no worries, anymore: Here are some tips to prevent makeup meltdown and make your makeup last much longer:




PRIMER:

Your primer is the key to getting long lasting makeup.

What is a primer first off:

It does 3 main things...

a) It gives you a flawless canvas
b) helps create a barrier between skin and makeup (not letting it sink in)
c) your makeup will stay on MUCH, MUCH longer

If you have fine lines and wrinkles that you don't want to be seen; then try a primer with silicone, which is going to fill in those fine lines and wrinkles, so your foundation and other makeup don't cake on and make them apparent.

Try investing in a good primer, because a primer really helps you out. And remember, you really don't need a lot. A little goes a longgg way.


Some cheap ones: Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer
High end: Urban Decay Primer Potion


Then apply all your normal makeup (foundation, concealer...etc.)


SETTING POWDER:

This is also a CRUCIAL step in making your makeup last longer. (Remember, when you use a liquid/cream substance, you always have to lock it in with powder). You can use regular face powder (adds more coverage) or use translucent powder (won't alter/mess with your makeup)

So just apply a nice, light coat of setting powder...and off you go!


I hope this helps you guys!
Have an amazing day!
