How to make makeup last longer? What are the taboos of makeup?

Everyone must have experienced makeup smudging due to long-term use. Many people want to know how to keep makeup from coming off. An exquisite makeup must have setting makeup. Learn these methods to make your makeup last longer.

Applying a mask before applying makeup can hydrate the skin, making the makeup more adherent and more natural. If you apply makeup on dry skin, the makeup will be stuck or floating, and the whole makeup will look rough. Before applying makeup, you can apply the original liquid on your face, or mix it with liquid foundation before applying makeup, which will make it last longer.

Taboo 1: Foundation is too white

Generally, novices find it very difficult to choose the color of liquid foundation. Without experience, many people will try the color directly on their hands, or ask the shopping guide to recommend the color. Generally, trying the color on your hands is inaccurate. The color recommended by the shopping guide will usually be much whiter than your skin tone, and it is especially easy for the face and neck to have two colors when applying makeup. The makeup will be particularly white and look fake, which will make our makeup look unnatural and abrupt.

Taboo 2: Using lipstick as blush

Many girls may have watched some beauty videos or articles online and saw that lipstick can be used as blush, so they will use their own lipstick instead of blush. Yes, lipstick can be used as blush, but it is only suitable for occasional use. Doing so often is not good for our skin. Lipstick and blush have different ingredients. Lipstick contains wax. Wax on our face may cause our pores to become clogged. Doing so often will make our pores larger and our skin condition worse.

Taboo 3: Apply foundation immediately after applying sunscreen

Sunscreen is usually the last step of skin care. Generally, sunscreen can only play an effective sun protection effect after forming a film. However, many people are in a hurry in the morning. After applying sunscreen, they usually start to apply foundation directly to save time. In fact, applying foundation before the sunscreen is dry will have some bad effects on our skin. It is easy to damage the sunscreen film, which greatly reduces the effectiveness of our sunscreen, and it is also easy to rub mud. The editor recommends that you wait 3 to 5 minutes after using sunscreen before applying foundation, so that the effect will be better and the sunscreen can also play a role.

1. Primer

(Like general emulsion application)

2. Liquid foundation

(Use a foundation brush or sponge. It is recommended to use a sponge, which is generally sold in jewelry stores. Apply foundation on your face and spread it from the center to the sides with a sponge, or pat it lightly with your fingers)

3. Loose powder or pressed powder

(Loose powder is recommended. Use a loose powder brush to apply a small amount to the entire face. If you are afraid of dryness, apply it on the highlight areas, specifically the T-zone and cheeks.

4. Eyebrow powder or eyebrow pencil

Use your hand to gently draw from the beginning to the end of the eyebrow, and make sure the beginning of the eyebrow is light. After drawing, you can use a dry mascara brush. If it is not dry, you can also use paper to dry the brush head. The color of the eyebrows should be close to the color of the hair. It is recommended to refer to the eyebrows of Korean girls, and do not draw the eyebrows of European and American ones, which are not suitable and look bad.

5. Eye shadow

(I suggest searching for pictures online and installing it in three areas. To be honest, it’s hard to describe here)

6. Eyelashes

(There is an instruction manual for using the eyelash curler. Then apply mascara along the roots, and apply it a second time after one minute. From experience, don't use the mascara right after taking it out. Use a tissue to wipe off the excess mascara before applying it to avoid applying it too thickly)

7. Lip gloss

(Apply lip gloss after lipstick, this goes without saying)

8. Blush

(For cute ones, draw in circles under the eyes where they bulge out when they smile; for uncut ones, draw along the cheekbones)

9. Set your makeup

Then use a little loose powder (you can omit it, but still use a brush to apply it)

When choosing loose powder for dry skin, you should pay attention to the different effects of loose powder. For example, moisturizing loose powder is more suitable for dry skin. Before using loose powder, moisturize the skin. If you have many facial wrinkles, it is best not to use too much loose powder. The most correct method is to apply loose powder gently and in small amounts.
