You have gotten up for the day and planned the entire activities for the day. Ready to kickstart your day by clothing yourself in classy outfits and adorning yourself with a beautiful makeup to reveal the beauty of your skin but you are still worried about your makeup which by the end of the day gets smudged and turns you into a ghost. It is quite irritating and frustrating to perform midday touch-ups when you are juggling between household chores and a difficult work schedule.

If you want to attend late-night parties or weddings, your major concern goes with the makeup that does not get smudged off and your skin glows in the dark shade of the night. You do not want to worry yourself with the makeup while enjoying your dance or spinning your body on the foot-tapping music.

Consider your face as a canvas when applying makeup. You want to begin by prepping your face for foundation application with a clean, beautiful complexion. You must first apply a base layer of cosmetics because most people aren't born with beautiful skin. These six steps can help you get brilliant, long-lasting results.In this blog, we will discuss how to maintain your Health & Beauty.

Here, are some of the reasons why your makeup doesn’t last long:

The Habit of Touching Your Face:

If you are in the constant habit of touching your face after applying makeup on it, it not only leads to the breakdown of your makeup but also spread germs and acne on your face. Acne causes irritation and results in the tightness of the skin.

Why do we sit at our desks and rely on our hands when we know that stroking our hair makes it greasy? The repeated touching and the warmth of your fingertips destroy your makeup. Also, it can aggravate acne and spread germs. Therefore, rule number one is to keep your hands visible at all times.

Oily skin:

Excessive oil on your skin can result in the breakdown of your makeup. Instead of reapplying makeup on your skin, you need to bloat away the excess oil from the skin to make your skin shinier and smoother.

Use of many products

While applying makeup on your skin, you use so many products at one time which smudges off your makeup for the day and turns you into a ghost. Your morning makeup will disappear if you apply moisturizer and foundation in less than five minutes. If you moisturize in the morning, you need to wait until it has had time to absorb before putting on makeup.

Not using a moisturizer:

If you directly apply makeup on your skin without moisturizing your skin properly, then it results in the breakdown of your makeup. The properly moisturized skin provides a smooth surface on the skin and prevents the opening of the pores.

Using Old makeup

As we all know, nowadays makeups are quite expensive and we tend to use them even after its expiry dates which lead to skin issues and allergies. The old makeup does not provide the potential result on the skin and does not make your skin smooth and soft. Get the right set of makeup for your skin by purchasing it from sites like Shopify.

Inadequate use of products:

While applying makeup on your skin, you tend to forget to apply primer, setting powder, spray, and lip liner which are the basic requirements of makeup. Due to the inadequate use of these products, your makeup does not even last long and smudges off completely from your skin.
