Beauty Tips: How to have a long lasting makeup.





 Want a long lasting makeup?



Hey everyone! Time again for some beauty tips! I wrote a blog before about some “skin care routine  before going to bed”, if you haven't checked it yet CLICK HERE. So now I want to share with you girls some make up tricks on how to have a long lasting makeup.

Wanna have that smudge proof eye makeup? How about that long lasting foundation that wouldn’t look cakey in the end of the day? Or even that Lipstick staying power? If you wanna have that makeup staying power then keep on reading.

Here are some simple makeup tips and tricks to have your makeup last longer.

Long lasting EYE Makeup Tips:

  • If you wanna have a long-lasting eyeshadow, use an eyelid primer or any eyeshadow base that you want! Eye primers  extend your makeup application by hours plus it pops out the color of your eyeshadow.
  • Use gel liners or any liquid liners that is waterproof. Remember                gel liners, liquid liners or cream eyeliners had 4 times staying power compare to pencil eyeliner. Plus it is smudge proof. You definitely don't want your eyeliner creasing unto your lids.
  • Get  perfect lashes all day! Using an eyelash curler with a blow dryer. Add volume to your lashes by applying two coats of your favorite mascara. If you’re having trouble with flaky lashes , try applying eyelash primer before your waterproof mascara.

Long lasting FOUNDATION makeup tips:

  • Start with a clean face, before applying your foundation primer make sure you moisturize first your face with your facial moisturizer. Be sure it has SPF!
  • Wait for 5 mins after applying your moisturizer. Allow the skin to absorb the moisturizer then applying your face or foundation primer. Foundation primer will make your foundation last longer and it gives non-cakey effect.
  • After applying your foundation, make sure you always use a powder in setting your foundation. Any matte compact powder, mineral powder or translucent powder will do.  Take your powder with you to do touch ups throughout the day.
  • Use blotting sheets for lasting foundation to remove excess oil.  DON'T EVER try to remove excess oil by just touching up your foundation with your compact powder. It’s a big no no no! It will clog your pores and sometimes it’s the cause of blemishes and pimples. Plus it’s nasty!

Long lasting LIP makeup tips:
  • Go ahead and apply your foundation into your lips. By doing so, you will achieve a longer lasting coverage. Just a thin layer of foundation will do.
  • Use a lip liner to keep your lipstick in place. Line and fill the whole lips then apply your lipstick. Blot in a tissue paper. Apply the second coat then finish it with a lip gloss.

So there you have it, so simple and easy to follow makeup tricks to have a long lasting makeup. Hope you enjoy reading this. Till my next beauty tips gorgeous!  Don't forget to subscribe. J

Beauty Tips before Beauty Sleep.

Hey gorgeous! How was your day? Hope t’was a great day for you. Anyways, I’m going to share on how I prep my face and body before going to bed. Of course, everyone of us wants to look good. And by that, you will feel good and gain confidence as well. Right?

So the question here is, how are you going to improve your skin? Or maybe how long can you make your skin look young?  There are some tips we all should follow or maybe you can try or experiment your own “bedtime routine” I have here some several tips before going to sleep and I’m pretty sure you can maintain your healthy glowing skin with this.

So keep on reading.

Below is the list of my own “BEDTIME ROUTINE” I’m currently doing this and as far as I’m trying it or making it a daily habit, so far I don’t have any problem on my skin especially with my face. So you could actually try this if you want. 

1. First thing I do before going to bed is of course, washing my face with facial wash or any soap that you want to use. Be sure that your face is make up free before going to bed. You can use your makeup cream-remover  or toners. You don’t want to have an irritated skin when you woke up and sometimes wearing makeup during bedtime can cause pimples. So definitely you don't like that to happen. 

2. Moisturize! Put moisturizers from your face to toe. This works well if you take a shower before you sleep.  Apply your moisturizing cream on your face, then your moisturizing lotion for your body to get smooth, soft and even skin.

3.  If you have short lashes like mine, I recommend you to coat your lashes with Vaseline. This helps me grow my lashes longer.  You could actually curl first your lashes before applying.  Trust me, it really works! ;)

4.  If you suffer from having chapped lips, apply lip balm or any moisturizing cream for your lips. This helps you to have supple lips. The balm actually soaks into your lips and prevent you to have chapped lips each night you put it. Moisturizing your lips every night before bed is the best time to moisturize them actually. Tip: you can use Vaseline or any lip balm you want to, Mine I use EOS  Lip balm in Summer Fruit and Strawberry Sorbet and it works great for me.

5. Fix that hair! Brush your hair before you sleep. It keeps your hair less tangled. Or if you’re prone to acne,better to pony your hair. You don’t want to have your hair all over your face, it will just irritate your acne's by the way.  Plus this will help you grow your hair longer by brushing them regularly. 

6. Last but not the least, drink a lot of water. Sleep on time and hit the bed with your comfortable pillow and blanket. And now your all set.



I hope this blog helped you on how you're going to prep yourself before hitting the bed.
Goodnight!  Have a beauty sleep gorgeous! J
