How to Make Your Makeup Last a Whole Day

For many people, getting their makeup to last all day can be a struggle. It looks great when you put it on, but a few hours later, it seems to have worn off and doesn’t look so good anymore. So what’s the secret to making your makeup last a full day?

Here are some tips from our makeup experts on making your makeup last for a whole day with minimal touch-ups.

1. Prep your skin

Before you start applying your makeup, prepping your skin is essential. Not cleansing and moisturizing your skin before makeup is a serious misstep! Exfoliated and hydrated skin is a great canvas for makeup, and you’ll find that prepping your skin will make your makeup last longer.

Exfoliate with a scrub or a toner to get rid of dead skin cells and get smooth skin. For ultra-hydrated skin, use a sheet mask or a hydrating serum.

2. Use a primer

A primer goes on before you apply your concealer and foundation. It helps smooth out your skin, blur texture and keep the foundation from seeping into your pores, affecting the look of the makeup. It can also help increase the longevity of your makeup because it helps combat oiliness which can make your foundation wear off.

3. Use a setting powder

A setting powder is blotted or dusted over the finished makeup look to combat ‘shiny’ skin and blot excess oil. You can try our Invisible Touch-Up powder to add a perfecting touch to your makeup look. In addition to making your makeup last longer, it will also help blur any imperfections. Setting powders can be used with a dewy makeup look and a matte makeup look.
