Tips for Long-Lasting and Beautiful Makeup

Tips for Long-lasting Makeup That Looks Beautiful

There’s no denying that the hot and humid weather in Malaysia can cause your makeup to melt and potentially become cakey. To achieve long-lasting and smooth makeup, it all starts with how we prep our skin. The moisture level of your skin plays a big role in making your makeup last longer.

Follow the steps below to make your makeup last longer and look smooth:

1. Wash Your Face
Before applying makeup, the most important thing is to wash your face to remove any dirt.

You can also scrub your face 2 or 3 times a week to remove dead skin cells. This way, you can prevent your makeup from clumping on the dead skin cells. If you have sensitive skin, it's not recommended to scrub your face.

2. Use Serum
Apply serum to your face and wait a few seconds until it is fully absorbed into your skin.

Serum is important for those with skin issues like dryness, as it helps hydrate the skin. If you have other skin concerns such as acne, uneven skin tone, or acne scars, you can choose a serum containing Niacinamide and Hyaluronic Acid.

3. Apply Moisturizer
Moisturizer helps hydrate the skin. Your face will feel moisturized, plump, and your makeup will last longer. Dry skin can cause makeup to look cakey and not last.

Make sure the moisturizer has dried on your face before applying makeup, as this allows the skin to lock in moisture.

4. Use Primer
Finally, apply primer to your forehead, cheeks, nose, and chin.

Primer acts as a base for your makeup, preventing the oil balance on your face from mixing with the makeup. It’s great for preventing makeup from becoming cakey and helps it last longer.

Once you’ve prepped your face with the above steps, you can start applying makeup as you wish without worrying. Psttt... don't forget to clean your makeup thoroughly. You’re also advised to take care of your skin regularly with products that suit your skin type.
