Lip Products That "Dual" More
Getting tired of basic, boring lipstick or lip
gloss? Now there are many products available
that go beyond just an ordinary tube of lipstick.
Investigate some that “dual” more! There are
plumpers, stains and even products you can use
on cheeks and lips to save you time and money.
Layer for Longer Wear
Who does not get extremely frustrated when
you take the time to do your makeup in the
morning and by mid-day you notice that it has
almost completely vanished from your face?
Where does the makeup go? You want your
makeup to last—hopefully all day if possible.
And it truly is possible if you know how to
layer for longer wear.
To make any kind of foundation last, you must
dust your face with loose, translucent powder.
The powder sets the foundation, and also any
concealer you have used. Layer a cream blush
underneath a powder blush for twice the
wearability. The same goes for shadow. If you
apply a cream shadow or eye shadow base
underneath your shadow, it will adhere and
show up much better than just eye shadow
alone.
How do you know if your eyeliner will smudge
or budge later in the day? Test it on your hand
by drawing a line on the back of your hand. Let
it sit for five minutes and then try to wipe it
away. If it wipes away easily with your
fingers, it is not going to last on your eye,
either. If you have to rub vigorously or break
out the makeup remover to get it off of your
hand, you know you have a long-wearing
winner on your hands, and it will stay all day
on your eyes, too!
Lip color is another story. Heavy lipstick will
last longer than gloss, but if you layer lip liner
all over the lips and then coat with lipstick or
gloss, you will increase the wear time by hours
and hours. If you don’t have a problem with
dry lips, you can try a semi-permanent lip
formula that lasts up to 12 hours. The
ingredient to look for is Permatone, which was
introduced in 2000, and is a revolutionary
silicone-based polymer that makes lipstick resist
“lipstick wreckers” like food and liquids.
