Wanting your makeup to stay for a longer duration is something we all struggle with. While there may be many hacks that are available at one click of your finger, here are all the hacks that will work for you. These hacks are tried and tested by us to give you a personal experience of what works and what doesn’t.
Prepping Your Skin
For you to apply makeup, it is essential to prep your skin for the same. Prepping your skin should be a process that must be followed every day and that as per the skincare that is suggested by your dermatologist.
You need to get rid of the impurities and dirt that may be resting on your face. Using a cleanser according to your face type is the first step to the process. Thoroughly wash your face using a cleanser and wipe it off with a dab-dab motion using a towel or a tissue.
The next step is to use toner. A toner will help ensure all impurities are removed, leaving your skin all clean and glowing. You can either spray toner or drop a droplet or two over a cotton pad and sweep it across your face gently.
Moisturizer is the final step to the process, wherein the moisturizer will help boost hydration. It can either be minimal hydration or ultra-boosting, according to your skin type.
For an additional prep, you can add a facial serum to your routine. Serums are used to treat issues of the skin like pigmentation, acne, and discoloration to name a few.
This CTM regime will prep your skin for the coming makeup process. You should ideally let your moisturizer dry down on your skin for about a minute before you dive into the makeup process.
Prepping your skin will give your skin a smooth base to act as a canvas for makeup. It will also act as a barrier between the two, disabling the downside of makeup like protruding acne.

Using Loose Powder
As soon as you are done applying your base, it is ideal to use a loose powder to set the foundation right at its place. You can take some powder on your makeup brush and dab it all across your face in a pat motion.
The setting powder will absorb all excess oil from your face while it will leave your foundation on a matte finish. After using a loose powder, you can readily use powder blush and powder contour to complete your look.

Opt For Waterproof
For longer, durable makeup, it is ideal to opt for waterproof makeup products like mascara and liner. With time, your face may start releasing oil as it normally would, and that could shift your makeup.
To prevent shifting mascara to your under-eye and leaving a black area, you can opt for waterproof mascara. The same is applicable for a liner. As these products are waterproof, you will have to go through a double cleansing process to remove the product from your face.
Leaving makeup on your face overnight is not a great idea to go with. It may result in acne or discoloration.
Using A Setting Spray
The last step to finishing your makeup is using a setting spray. While there may be many options to try in the market today, you should select a product that is ideal for your skin tone. For somebody who has naturally oily skin, she should opt for a mattifying setting spray, while a dry skin type should opt for a dewy setting spray.
Spraying setting spray is the last hack to help your makeup stay longer.
Setting spray is a product that you can use daily as it is a primer-based product that will give you extra hydration with its extreme quality of long stay.
