How do I keep makeup fresh until the end of the night ?
New Year’s Eve evenings are exceptional enough that you want to show off your best day. But the evenings are long and even if you have done your makeup well, it can escape you as the hours go by. So, how do you keep makeup fresh until the end of the night and avoid the inconveniences that many have already experienced: lipstick spinning, mascara dripping and apparent imperfections? Some easy to implement techniques exist and will allow you to stay beautiful in all circumstances. Here are the actions to take to party without limits.
Choosing the right cosmetics
Before talking about makeup techniques, it is important to emphasize that product quality is at the center of a long-lasting makeup. The cosmetics you choose will have to last until the end of the night and even withstand extreme conditions. When you go to a party, you avoid using products that are too light and that risk speeding up. Exit the powder eyeshadows and place in creamy and liquid textures. These products will create a waterproof barrier once dry, perfect against tears and perspiration. The lips will be more resistant colored with a matte lipstick or lip ink. For mascara and foundation, choose waterproof products that won’t mess you up along the way.
Skin preparation
For all-night beauty, skin preparation is an essential step. A well-maintained epidermis every day also guarantees a perfect makeup. Before a New Year’s Eve party, think about doing good for your skin by choosing nourishing care and masks. Your nourished skin will be brighter and brighter. On D-Day, apply a foundation and a special eyelid before applying makeup. This will help refine and unify your skin texture, smooth it and allow pigments to adhere better.
Get a perfect complexion
Now is the time to make up your complexion. For this, it is essential to get a perfect complexion, zero flaw. The concealer is the ideal product to camouflage small skin imperfections (pimples, redness, spots, dark circles, etc.). However, it must be pressed on specific areas: those you want to correct. Then, apply your foundation or BB cream for lightness, preferably in a liquid texture and long-lasting. Anyway, you will already have a nice look thanks to the base and the concealer. Now apply a nice creamy blush and a little highlighter for the festive side.
Use fixing powder
To fix the beautiful complexion you just created, we recommend using fixing powder. Place the loose powder in the air with a large brush. This will fix your makeup and give a matte appearance to your complexion. In addition, the powder will bring structure and relief to your face, like a beauty filter. Focus on the T-zone, which is the forehead, nose and chin, as these are the areas most affected by shine. Do not apply them to the cheekbones on your blush, as you may counteract the light-reflecting effect.
Working on your smoky-eye
A well-done smoky-eye is most effective in the evening. However, nothing like it to end up with panda eyes in the middle of the party if you don’t take some precautions. To do this, apply your powder eyeshadow on the base so that it takes its final place and does not slip between fine lines. Then blend with a layer of loose powder and apply a new layer of color. If you are also using a kohl pencil or eye liner, do the same by applying a free powder veil to fix and blur the whole. The mascara should be chosen as a waterproof version and a cloud of loose powder can also be placed between two layers. Powder is the base!
Do not neglect the lip pencil
The lipstick is your most trusted partner when it comes to keeping your lipstick in place for an entire evening. For a precise application, smile and follow the contours starting at the outer corner of the lips. The pencil will draw you a glamorous mouth in addition to avoiding any smudge. It can also be applied as a base on the entire mouth. For lipstick, choose a matte product or moisturizing gloss that will help hold the pigments. Feel free to layer layers to keep your mouth covered for as long as possible.
Plan for makeup touch-ups
Our last tip: Before you leave for the evening, prepare a small kit with your makeup products inside. Slip it into your handbag, it will allow you to always have them at hand for possible alterations. For a fresh complexion all night, opt for a concealer (all-in-one concealer). A transparent lip gloss can be placed on your lips to protect them and keep them tinted, but you will also need to take with you the lipstick you used to make-up. Finally, if you have skin that tends to regrease quickly, plan a few mattifying papers, a small box of powder and a retractable brush.
You now know how to keep makeup fresh through the night. Relieved of this little annoyance, all you have to do is enjoy the holidays by dancing until the early morning.
