How to make Makeup LAST

                                







  




Runny Makeup is NOT the Business and unless you have been crying showering or swimming it is also UN Necessary!...

Runny sticky makeup that rubs off your face on to his collar could very well be YOUR FAULT! Here are some QUICK EASY ways to help your makeup LAST LONGER look BRIGHTER and be more VIBRANT!

Best of all... most of these remedies can be found in your makeup stash!!


Foundation 



Primer:

Foundation primer like any other primer should be aplied prior to your paint (paint) Foundation.

There are MANY different types at different price points for different consumers
of different ages, skin types and or skin needs...

Oily Skin:

Shold look for oil free  and or mattifying primers.

Aged:

I would look for a moisturizing primer that is of a thicker consistency. I recommend
L' oreal Studio secrets or Sephora Wrinkle filling primer.

Acne Prone:

You may have oily skin so something that is mattifying oil free
and possibly also something that has (Green) color correction for redness. 
Makeup forever makes awesome color correcting primers. (apricot for brown marks)

Red:

Look for a primer with a green tint. Don't be afraid... your skin may take on an olive or greenish 
tint, your foundation will lay over it very well.

 BLUSH 






Cream Blush 

Cream Blush as a BLUSH PRIMER is the way to go when it comes to making your blush last longer. 

You can use a NUDE Blush to use on ALL Blushes
or a cream blush to match your powder. 

If you DON'T have a Cream Blush you can use a lipstick 
it work the same way and you can get lipstick and blush in nearly 
matching shades.

  A great cool shade is Tan and a warm shad is Natural.

Eyeshadow

Eyeshadow primer is pretty important. 

You can be light skin dark skin have dry or oily skin... e/s primer can make the most of cheap e/s and make cool e/s EXTRA special. It can also be replaced by concealer and or eye drops and glycerine.

  I like L'oreal Decrease and think it is comprable to Urban Decay Primer Potion also known as UDPP. 

They both leave a soft cast on darker skin but is covered up by eye shadow.

LIPSTICK






Scrub. Moisture. Line. Apply. Blot. Powder
----
Apply. Blot. Powder.

Moist lips combined with a nice creamy but not too 
creamy liner is great! Another trick is to use a waterproof eye liner. I know they 
makeup waterproof lipliners but eyeliners come in more colors and are *often cheaper! 

Applying a powder not only helps you lipstick to last longer but it can make any of your
favorite glossy lipstick matter or Velvet when you add some gold or silver eyeshadow to the
center.

IN GENERAL


Oil & Oil ---- Water & Water

This concept is REALLY easy to understand... yet it is also easy to screw up. 
There is room to sway buuuut it is NOT in the foundation moisturizer department...

If you have OILY SKIN and opt for hydrating but OIL FREE moisturizer...
you should follow suit with FOUNDATION. 

It's SIMPLE.

If your skin is dry a moisture rich foundation will have oils in it hopefully
natural and not too heavy you can follow in with a foundation for dry or combination skin... I say
combination because unless your skin is SEVERELY dry a foundation with oil AND a moisturizer with oil MAY be too rich. 

(test these theories on your skin with samples of high end and full size drug store to find you cup of tea)
