Hello 👋🏻 Today, I’m going to share a tip on how to keep your base makeup looking flawless and long-lasting, even in the hot summer 🌞‼️
(This is a method that actually worked for me.)
STEP 1. Don't make the foundation too heavy!
The weather has been humid lately and I've been sweating profusely, so my skin is lacking moisture💦
Are there any of you who feel your skin is heavy and cakey? I used to think that the more I felt that way, the more moisture I needed to add to my skin. However, applying too much actually caused my base makeup to break down or not apply well.😭 So, I started reducing the amount of products I used little by little, and I definitely noticed less creasing and my base makeup lasted longer.😮 Of course, this varies depending on your skin type, so you can gradually adjust your routine and choose the products that suit you best.😄 (I will write down my skincare routine below.)
STEP 2. Do not apply base thickly!
It just so happens that this tip is about applying a thin layer again.😅 This just goes to show how important controlling the amount is in the summer, right? Haha. Base makeup is especially more important than skincare.⚠️ If you happen to be using cushion foundation or regular foundation without controlling the amount, please pay close attention! Our faces are smaller than we think, so even a tiny amount can provide better overall coverage. (Use concealer for blemishes!) That is why it is best to dab cushion foundation onto the back of your hand or a puff to control the amount before applying it to your face, and for regular foundation, squeeze one to two pumps onto the back of your hand and use a spatula. If that isn't possible, it is best to use a puff to control the amount before applying.😄
BONUS. This varies depending on your skin type, but I always use a setting spray on days when I'm out for a long time. I spray it onto a puff, apply my base, and then spray it once after I finish my makeup. If the hold wasn't strong enough, you can spray it once after finishing your basic skincare routine.
Products used
