How to Make The Foundation Last Longer

There are a few tricks that beauty gurus share on the internet and workshops worldwide, especially when it comes to makeup. Regarding foundation, there are plenty of different foundation types that suit every skin type, from shades, formulas, to packaging, there are really a lot of options out there.
One of the oldest tricks in hollywood and in professional photoshoots is to apply a primer and wait about 2 minutes before applying the foundation, to create a smooth, poreless and a sleek canvas for all the makeup.
So next time you're going out with makeup on and you want it to last, try the Younique Moodstruck Glorious Face & Eye Primer as it is incredible long-wearing, sweat-resistant, lasts all day and is suitable for every skin type and tone.

How to make your foundation last longer

The most important trick to make your foundation last longer is to have a good skin as a canvas. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that if you have scars or acne your skin isn't good enough to make the foundation last. But, just like the painters choose a good & clean canvas to paint, it's the same with make up, specially the foundation.
Whether you were graced by nature to have a flawless skin or you have oily skin or acne, you need to clean your skin with a product suitable for your type;
Apply a moisturizer before the foundation, make sure your moisturizer is suitable for your skin type as well: if you have oily skin, choose an oily free product;
Applying a primer before the foundation (and after the moisturizer) is key: you will be able to keep the makeup in place through the whole day while preserving the moisture you applied before. A specific eye primer is essential as well, to keep your eye shadow and eyeliner in place;
Choose a good foundation, mineral foundation does wonders as they usually have a thin layer finish avoiding the "cakey" effect and set it with translucent powder, for a matt finish;
Before applying the lipstick or gloss, make sure your lips are moisturized as well, specially if you're wearing a long wearing product, since they are usually very drying;
Last but not least, flaunt that precious smile of yours: happiness radiates your inner shine, and that lasts even longer than foundation!

Beauty 101: Makeup Primer Basics

Primer is the ultimate makeup multi-tasker: it helps prevent oil production, fills in fine lines& wrinkles, provides an extra layer for the pigment in the rest of your face makeup to adhere to, and acts as an invisible buffer between your skin and the elements. Not only will the color of your makeup be more vibrant, but it will also last longer throughout the day. 

I use Younique's Glorious -- it's gluten-free,100% natural, free of parabens, oils, synthetic fragrances, and cheap fillers so a little goes a long way.
