First things first, in order for makeup to last long and look fresh, the canvas upon which it is applied must also be smooth and fresh. In order to have a fresh canvas, you must exfoliate no more than twice a week. Don’t forget that your lips need to be exfoliated too. A quick and easy scrub to exfoliate your skin with is sugar and coconut oil.
Moisturizer is a step that should never ever be
skipped! Applying moisturizer before your primer will ensure that your makeup
stay in place and look fresh all day long. If you have oily, acne prone skin,
go for a moisturizer that is oil-free; on the other hand, if you have dry skin,
pick a moisturizer.
Eventually, even with primer, eye shadow will
crease up. You can definitely blot your eyelids, but regardless of what you do,
you may need to touch up your eye shadow throughout the day. When that time comes,
don’t apply more eye shadow and just simply re-blend the pigment already on
your lids. You can use your finger or an eye shadow brush to re-blend. To hold
the look in place, dust translucent finishing powder over your lids.
