Guapura 101: How To Keep Makeup On Your Face
Recently a friend of mine asked me why I was spraying hairspray on my face. I’ll admit that it must have looked strange, but as I said then, it is really quite helpful for keeping makeup on your face longer.
When, as one bloguera suprema has to do more often these days, you attend meet-and-greet events requiring you to have your “face” on for a long time, keeping that makeup from running down with the rest of your facial oil can be a challenge.
Here are my best tips.
- Wash your face. In my own experience, washing your face, then applying a non-greasy cream, will help your makeup stay on longer.
- Put on a layer of loose powder before adding other powders, such as blush or eyeshadow — or even lipstick!
- Spray hairspray on your face. This sounds weird, but this is how you do it: spray the hairspray into the air, then walk under the spray. You might think this strange, but I promise it works.
I’m sure there are other tips, but I just can’t think of them. And I know spraying hairspray on your face probably isn’t healthy, but then again, walking around in LA smog isn’t either, right?
