better techniques to apply. Using the right beauty products in the right combination, perhaps with a quick midday touch-up, will help you have a face that looks as fresh at the end of the day as it did when you started.

Tips for How to Makeup Last All Day

1.Start with a perfectly clean face. Never apply fresh makeup over yesterday’s leftovers. You should have washed your face the night before, so all you have to do is use a toner to remove any oils that may have been created overnight.

2.Use the right moisturizer. Choose a moisturizer that is right for your skin type (e.g., normal, oily, combination). Don’t forget to always use a moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or greater—protecting your face from sun exposure is super important for maintaining your beauty and reducing the aging and damaging effects of sun exposure.

3.Use makeup primers to help smooth skin. Primers help to fill in small lines and wrinkles and make the skin ready to have makeup applied. Primers can help to even out skin tone, minimize redness and help to conceal under eye bags and puffiness.

4. Apply foundation evenly. Choose a good foundation product, again, one that is appropriate for your skin type. Apply evenly, using a sponge rather than your fingers. Try mineral based products for best results.

5.Use powder. After applying foundation, use a translucent powder to “set” the foundation and help prevent it from breaking down due to skin oils. Apply the powder to your eyelids as well, to control the oils that will be created in the eyelid area which will prevent creasing of the eye makeup as the day wears on.
