My Tips on how to make your Makeup last ALL DAY!!

I have been getting many messages about you wanting to know how to make your Makeup last all day. Alot of women feel that they put their makeup on in the morning, and it is completely gone in a couple of hours. Well, most of the time it isn’t because of what type of makeup you are using. It is usually because of you not applying your makeup correctly in order for it to last. Here are a couple of Tips for you!!

-Priming- Use a makeup Primer will not only make your makeup look a lot smoother, but it will also make your foundation stay on all day. Foundation usually disappears because it goes into your pores throughout the day. Using a good makeup Primer will prevent this. Priming also prevents your foundations from going into your fine lines, which will give you a more youthful look. I recommend: Makeup Forever HD Primer $32.00

-Placing your product where you want it- One of the most common mistakes I see in makeup application, is using brushes to “Brush” your makeup on. What you really end up doing is wiping your makeup off. Instead, I recommend “placing” the product where you want it to stay. I always “pat” on the makeup. By doing so, the makeup stays where you put it.

-Setting your foundation- Use a translucent loose powder to set your foundation. Setting your foundation will solidify the foundation, and help it stay on longer. If your skin is more on the dry side, use a powder brush, and use a sponge or a puff if you are more normal/oily.  I recommend: Makeup Forever HD Powder $15.00 or Laura Mercier Translucent Powder

Hope this helps!!!

Then curl your eyelashes and apply 2 coats of black mascara to your top lashes. Complete your look with a pink red lipstick.  Try using: MAC Russian Red Lipstick, and Covergirl Lash Blast Mascara

 

#2 Jennifer Lopez-  Jennifer always looks amazing! I love that she has a natural look, yet made her eyes pop. Very elegant.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start off with a natural foundation. Avoid powder to get that glowy JLo look. Use a brow powder or eyeshadow to define your eyebrows without them looking too painted on. Use a neutral color all over your eyes, and then follow with a grey/purple eyeshadow in your crease and under your eyes.  Make sure to blend! Use a liquid eyeliner and black mascara on your top and bottom lashes. Use a neutral pink lipliner and fill in your lips with concealer. Then follow with a neutral lipgloss. Try using: Daniel Chinchilla Beauty Perfecting Mineral Fluid, Loreal HIP Color Truth Cream Eyeliner, and MAC C-Thru Lipglass.

 

#1 Queen Latifah- Ooooooh Yes!! My favorite makeup look of the night. Her foundation is smooth and flawless, and this is the perfect example of how to give yourself smokey eyes, without looking like a clown!! lol

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Start by doing your eyes first. Smudge black eyeliner on your eyelid  and under your eye, then blend a deep purple eyeshadow over it to soften it up. Also use the black eyeliner in your waterline for more definition. Follow with Black Mascara. Use a liquid foundation to give yourself a natural, flawless glow. Use a soft pink blush on the apples of your cheeks. Finish the look by lining your lips with a neutral pink lipliner, and follow with a pink/purple lipstick. Try using: Daniel Chinchilla Beauty Perfecting Mineral Fluid, MAC Smolder Eyeliner, and Nars Lulu eyeshadow

Hope I made it easier for you to achieve one of these looks for your next night out!
