Question
What are Smitha Deepak's tips for maintaining makeup longevity?
Answer
I have shared several tips across my videos to help maintain makeup longevity. Here are a few:
-
Prep your skin: Start with a clean face. I often use Garnier SkinActive Micellar Cleansing Water. It's also important to moisturize your skin. For example, I use Murad Hydro-Dynamic Ultimate Moisture for Eyes in my oily eyelids tutorial.
-
Use a primer: A good primer can help your makeup stay put. I've used Smashbox 24 Hour Photo Finish Eyeshadow Primer and Benefit Cosmetics POREfessional in my tutorials.
-
Set your makeup: Using a setting powder like Airspun Translucent loose powder or Maybelline FaceStudio Master Fix Setting + Perfecting Loose Powder can help lock your makeup in place.
-
Waterproof products: For eye makeup, consider using waterproof products like the O two O waterproof eyeliner or Wet N Wild Mascara Mega Length.
-
Blotting papers: If you have oily skin, blotting papers can help absorb excess oil without disturbing your makeup. I've recommended Tatcha Aburatorigami Japanese Blotting Papers.
-
Setting sprays: A good setting spray can help your makeup last longer. I've used the wet n wild Photo Focus Primer Water in my tutorials.
Remember, everyone's skin is different, so what works for me might not work for you. Always do a patch test first to see if your skin reacts well to the products. What specific makeup challenge are you facing?
