Doll-candy make-up using the draping technique is gaining ground, which it lost a little in winter (more about draping ─ “Remembering how to do the most spring make-up”), and the question of the lifespan of the make-up acquires a new sound. What should be done to keep the paint as long as possible (touching your face with your hands as little as possible does not count)? These tips will be especially relevant for those who often forget their cosmetic bag at home.
Moisturize
Mixing blush directly on the skin ─ for example on the back of the hand ─ is convenient and easy. So, the "golden rule" says: before you start makeup, always cleanse your skin and apply a moisturizer (even if you have oily skin) ─ this is the only way to avoid uneven coverage, and, much more unpleasant, the formation of "flakes" on the skin from make-up and peeling products.
Use a primer
In order to keep the induced beauty in perfect condition as long as possible, do not forget to primer before applying foundation. These are still underestimated products (in more detail "12 main answers to the main questions about the base for makeup") not only improves the "adhesion" of decorative cosmetics to the skin, but even out the microrelief of the latter. This is especially helpful when you are in a hot room, and willy-nilly you sweat, risking losing part of your war paint.
Choose a liquid foundation
The fluid foundation allows you to blend blush directly on the skin and see the result immediately (and enjoy it for as long as possible). In addition, the blush ─ both creamy and compact ─ will look natural and delicate, and will not turn your cheeks into "liquid apples".
Do everything in layers
It is important to follow the order: the first number is cream or gel blush, and then, if desired, powdery ones are added. It is this order that leads to a gorgeous shade that will blend in with the skin, gracefully balancing on the verge of matte and healthy glow. The only thing you need to make sure of in advance is the compatibility of formulas and shades (and do not forget about the glaring beauty mistakes ─ “Makeup that makes you age”).
Fix
Do you use hairspray to secure your hair after styling, even if you used styling products? Makeup requires the exact same gesture of goodwill. We are talking about fixing sprays - a much rarer guest in our cosmetic bags than a primer or base. Take a finish product, move your hand away from your face (15-20 cm will be enough) and irrigate the skin evenly. After that, you do not have to worry about the fact that the induced beauty will "slip" or fade during the day.
