With the hot summer weather, keeping your makeup intact while attending a concert is not easy. The event takes place in the evening, but the audience has to spend a few hours beforehand queuing for check-in, which can have a significant impact on makeup. Beauty enthusiasts need to follow some guidelines to ensure that their foundation, eyeshadow, and lipstick stay in place throughout the hours of dancing with their idols.
Cleanse, exfoliate, moisturize
Facial skincare is the first step. Cleansing, exfoliating, and moisturizing with a face mask are essential steps to incorporate into your skincare routine. Keeping your skin in the best condition will help your foundation last longer and prevent it from smudging at the end of the day.
In addition to using skincare products, drink plenty of water and supplement with vitamins to keep your skin healthy and resistant to the effects of the hot sun.
Avoid touching your face
Dirt, bacteria, and excess oil on your fingers can ruin your makeup and make it smudge quickly. Additionally, using setting spray can help many people break the habit of touching their makeup.
Use primer
Using primer to create a base layer on your entire face can help your makeup last longer. This method can prevent the occurrence of oily shine and foundation cracks. Primer can also reduce redness, brighten the skin, and improve dry, cracked skin conditions.
Apply foundation first, concealer second
If using concealer for dark circles, blemishes, or corners of the mouth, apply it before foundation to prevent the previous concealer from shifting.
Use high-quality makeup brushes and sponges
It’s best to use high-quality brushes to blend foundation, eyeshadow, and contour. Additionally, a beauty blender can contribute to a more evenly blended makeup look.
Remove excess oil
If you have oily or combination skin, it’s important to control excess oil and sebum on your face throughout the day. Oil-absorbing sheets should be kept in your bag 24/7. This powerful and compact product helps control excess oil on the face.
Set your makeup with loose powder
Setting powder works better than pressed powder in fixing your makeup. After completing your makeup, use a brush to evenly apply a sufficient amount of setting powder.
This method reduces shine on oily skin. With this finishing step, your foundation and eyeshadow can last longer.
