How To Make Your Makeup Last ALL Day
During hot summer months, we want to look and feel our best and enjoy ourselves! But I know we all go through the stress of makeup meltdown and dealing with constant reapplication throughout the day. Often times due to the heat of summer and the constant masking makes our makeup wear off and not look the same as a few hours prior. You may think, “has my makeup really looked like THIS all day!?”. If you have had these thoughts a few too many times this summer, we would like to help!
In order to keep your makeup in its rightful spot, there are 2 things you must do—that is PRIME your face, and SET your makeup!
PRIME
Now, when we say prime your face we are talking about using a proper primer for your skin type before putting on foundation and starting your glam process. If you properly prime your skin and apply a rich serum primer, your makeup will not only last longer throughout the hot summer day, but it will also improve the overall coverage of the makeup you apply on top! A properly primed face will allow you to use fewer products and give you the smooth, natural finish you are after.
SET
Once your face is primed, and makeup is on, when experiencing the extreme weather of summer, it is important to take an extra step and set your makeup. If you are unaware of setting sprays, they are a liquid mist that is lightly sprayed onto the skin to increase the lifespan of your look and prevent any fading or smudging throughout the day. Setting sprays will absolutely prolong the life of your makeup – especially in the humid weather and the constant mask wearing. BUT, it is important to be aware that setting sprays are NOT skincare products and are not meant to be used daily and a little goes a long way. All you need is a light ~*mist*~ and that should be more than enough! However, if you really need your makeup to last through an event or even be more on the waterproof side, beauty gurus recommend to spray a light mist after each step to really ensure the makeup will not go anywhere!
*please be sure to read all ingredients and use instructions before using a setting spray to ensure the product is a good match for your skin type as some contain alcohols*
