You spend an hour in front of the mirror applying evening makeup, and it already dissapears by the time of lunch? You do something wrong. Not to mention special lasting cosmetics, even the most ordinary cosmetics applied correctly should hold on to the evening.

Not to correct evening makeup again and again, use a few simple tips.

1. Foundation / powder

Face care is a priority for every woman, regardless of skin type or age. So do not spare money for moisturizing lotion, cream around eyes and high-quality foundation.

• Skin with expanded pores tends to absorb foundation cream or powder. At the same time, pores are blocked and inflamed. In this case, it is necessary to apply an appropriate moisturizer foundation cream. You should better use foundation in the form of cream or gel with light consistency.

• Give facial cream at least 10 minutes before applying make-up, so that it could be absorbed. Otherwise, cosmetics will just become “blurred” , and its remnants will sink into facial pores, along with cream.

• Do not ignore high-recovering powder. However, its texture should not be too thick or oily, it is better if it is in the form of corrective coverstick.

• If your skin is prone to fatness, you should better use cream powder. Cream powder can be either in liquid or compact form. Compact cream powder can also be used to correct makeup throughout the day. For normal and dry skin it is better using tinting cream, but you have to choose tinting cream with reflective particles, otherwise skin will look too oily. To refresh evening makeup, you must have a compact powder with you.

• Do not rub foundation into skin. Firstly apply it on face with fingertips and then shadow carefully. Do not apply too much foundation - a thick layer will “flow” faster.

2. Eye Makeup

Eyes are one of weak and attackable places in your make-up. Mascara crumbles, liner “flows”, shadows “roll down”. The reason for this may be both rainy, warm and humid weather, sweat and skin fat, inappropriate cosmetics.

• For everyday makeup, choose crisp, not oily eye shadows and blusher. Fat cosmetics gets sliding and flowing. If you still need to apply creamy shadows or blusher, powder them carefully on top. For the same reason it is better to choose a liquid eyeliner, it lasts longer than wax pencils. New gel pencils last longer on eyelids and do not flow. The same applies to water-resistant liners. However, you should not refuse from creamy cosmetics at all, it is very good for the evening and even has its own advantages.

• Most eye creams have very thick, greasy consistency. As a basis for evening makeup, it is recommended to use eye gel, which moisturizes eyelids carefully, is better absorbed and contains no fats.

• Before you apply makeup for eyes, powder eyelashes and eyelids slightly. Mascara and shadows will last longer better. Also, thanks to this, lashes will seem thicker.

• Choose hypoallergenic cosmetics, this is particularly important in relation to eye cosmetics. At the slightest irritation, eyes begin to itch and tear - another reason for “flowing” make-up.

• In rainy and humid weather, it is desirable to give preference to waterproof mascara, which will not flow and crumble under any circumstances.

3. Lip Makeup

• To make lipstick and lip contour last longer, apply some foundation around and above natural lip contour.

• For long-lasting make-up, it is always preferable to use lip contour. Highlight lip line using a pencil of your lipstick or darker tone, and apply it on the whole lip surface. Apply lipstick on top. Powder lips on top of lipstick slightly.

• Lip gloss has a tendency to soak in lip contour and dissapear easily with every gulp of coffee or tea. Instead of gloss, it is convenient to use long-lasting lipstick. All you need - to use a lipstick in the morning, and take only gloss with you, which is sold in a set with lipstick, to moisten and refresh lipstick during the day.

Apply evening makeup under natural daylight. It will give you a full picture of just how many «color» on face you need. If you apply make-up under dim lighting, you can overdo and look defiant. When lighting is too bright, people are generally inclined to impose a few cosmetics. As a result, when you go to the street, it might seem you have no make-up at all.
