lasting makeup tips
hi how do you get make up to stay longer? Im planning on wearing: lipstick (or maybe gloss if that stays on any longer?) mascara Eyeliner (probably liquid eyeliner) foundation and concealer I need it to stay on even if i get quite hot under lights etc. Thank you! Becky x Oct 09 13 03:09 am Link you can look into using "model in a bottle setting spray" which has lots of recommendation for it. http://modelinabottle.com/shop/original-setting-spray/ there are many other brands out in the market as well such as one made by MUFE. Oct 09 13 08:38 am Link Hey Becky ... can you be more specific, are you talking about stage or theatrical makeup ?? Because thats much different then just regular every day makeup. Mascara - L'Oreal voluminous waterproof, Blinc Inc amplified eyeliner - Blinc Inc liquid eye liners, MUFE eye liners Lips - Cover girl lip stain, OCC lip tars, Urban decay lip envy foudation - MUFe, NYX hd Concealer - NYX hd, LA girl, Effacerne by Lancome Always use a setting powder to set after application and a setting spray Still not sure ... you can always hire an artist to help you !! Oct 09 13 03:17 pm Link Set makeup with powder and use a setting spray. Oct 10 13 10:19 am Link Thanks for the responses! Its for on long day shoots so it needs to stay on all day if possible? Are there any tips on applying it in a certain way that would keep it on for longer? Becky x Oct 12 13 04:43 am Link -Buff or crosshatch your foundation using multiple thin layers. Set with powder and a setting spray. -Use eyeshadow primer -Tubing mascara is very longwearing (I second the Blinc one) -Layer a powder blush over a stain blush -Use a lip liner over the whole lip (fill it in), then put lipstick, then blot, then reapply liptstick. Or, use a matte liquid lipstick. Anything glossy will not be as longwearing. Oct 12 13 11:54 am Link After washing your face, run an ice cube over it a few times. Then, use a primer (Laura Mercier is good). Then, mix a bit of moisturizer with some mattifying lotion and apply that. Let it set while you brush your teeth/do your hair, etc. Then, wear as little makeup as you can get away with. Also, keep your makeup in the fridge overnight (in a Ziploc bag). Of course, your skin will also be at its even-toned, zit-free best before doing all of this... No really, I find that wearing as little makeup as possible (after doing all those other things) is the best way to keep your makeup looking fresh during a long shoot. Oct 12 13 05:43 pm Link only moisturize if and where needed , moisturizers break down makeup eventually use products that are designed for long wear , long wear lip stick , long wear foundations , use a primer for the shadow , especially if its a pastel shade .....ect ect Oct 13 13 03:59 pm Link Thank you everyone!
