Smart tips

1. According to makeup experts, always apply makeup on a clean face. Then moisturize it. Thereafter, prime it. Primer absorbs all excess oil and helps your makeup last longer.
2. After that, apply foundation. Take extra care to choose a foundation that not only complements your skin tone, but also complements your skin type. Make sure the product hydrates your skin and lets it breathe. Oily skin feels nice with powder foundation, while dry skin goes well with a liquid one.
3. Avoid over-moisturizing your face. Your skin’s sebaceous glands are, anyway, going to produce oil; so you need not soak your skin with moisturizers, lest you may appear oily within a few hours. Women with oily skin must use oil-free moisturizes.
4. A trick to use moisturizer perfectly is to apply a layer; then gently press a tissue to absorb the excess product.
5. Apply foundation first. Then apply concealer.
6. Powder up your T-zone, hairline, and around the sides of your nose. Choose a translucent or lightweight powder. Use a brush to apply powder and to set concealer under your eyes. You may or may not powder your cheekbones, but in case you do, powder lightly.
7. Keep blotting papers in your handbag. This is especially true for women with oily skin. As soon as you feel oiliness on your face, you can gently tap the paper to absorb excess. Facial misting sprays also come in handy. They freshen up your face.
8. Exfoliate your face every week to remove dead cells that accumulate on the surface. Applying makeup on skin containing a layer of dead cells does not give desired results. It makes you look caked up and weird. Moreover, exfoliated skin requires lesser makeup, as it attains a naturally healthy glow.
9. Many women apply foundation and concealer through their fingertips. Avoid this. Use makeup brushes. The skin at the fingertips contains oil that may get transferred to your face.
10. For the eyes use a primer especially designed for the eyelids. It creates a perfect base for eye shadow.
11. Use water-proof eye makeup. Water and oil when mixed can smear or smudge your face or make your makeup “slip.” The best combo is: water-proof eye liner + creamy eyeshadow. Remember to use eye primer.
12. Avoid using heavy anti aging creams in the morning. They are meant for the night.
13. Use sunscreen, oil-free of course.

This runaway season, light makeup is in. Spare your skin the horror of being buried under layers of makeup. It makes you look sticky. By evening, you would look dull and unattractive. Light, matte finish on the face gives a fresh look. Team this with glossy, juicy lips.

Use these smart tricks from makeup experts and make your makeup last longer.
