Makeup Tips: How to Look Fresh All the Time

There is nothing dreadful when it comes to makeup like having your face oily and the makeup melt off before midday. It is extremely catastrophic as you cannot wipe it off because it will cause a smudge that you wouldn’t want the world to see and the fact that the makeup of the lady next to you is still fresh adds more salt to the wound. Today we are giving you the top secrets on how to have that fresh from the shower look. Check the four magic tips below.

Sleep

Beauty sleep is not a myth and sleep does lessen the severity of wrinkles in the face and neck. Having enough sleep clears away the bags from under your eyes therefore you will not have to go patching the bags with concealer that will not compliment your makeup look. Therefore beauty sleep helps in the revitalizing of the skin with its natural look.

Moisturize

Moisturizing skin is an essential step in the entire make up process. One would think that if you have an oily skin, this step should be skipped entirely but that isn’t the case. Moisturizing is entirely different from greasing so if you have an oily skin, try out the water based moisturizers which will help you not wear the makeup.

If you have never used this before to curb your oily skin problem, then Christmas has definitely come early for you this year. Milk of Magnesia can be used as a primer to remove the usual shine it also has the ability to prevent blemishes before they even arrive. After cleansing your face, and putting a little moisturizer, dip a swab of cotton into the milk of magnesia and apply it all over your face avoiding the eye area. Allow it to dry and then resume your usual makeup routine.

Makeup Setting Spray

This product is used after having all the makeup applied and its essence is to ensure that your makeup doesn’t run but stays put. I recommend to wearing NYX Matte Finish Makeup Setting Spray You to prevail the sultry weather. As the name suggests the long lasting formula grants a matte finish allowing your makeup to last all day and night. To use this product hold 8-10 inches from face, close eyes, and spray in downward motion 3 times to cover entire face and allow it to dry.
