Avoid touching your face – the natural oils on your hands can break down the makeup and cause smudging. Blot, don’t wipe – if you become shiny, use blotting papers or a soft tissue to gently press away excess oil without disturbing your base. Lipstick top-ups – keep your chosen lipstick or gloss with you for easy touch-ups after eating, drinking, or kissing. Mind the tears – if you get emotional, dab the corners of your eyes gently with a tissue instead of wiping, to avoid disturbing your foundation or eye makeup. Stay cool & dry – avoid excessive sweating, humidity, or water exposure where possible to maintain longevity. Powder if needed – a light dusting of translucent powder in your T-zone can help control shine, but don’t overdo it to keep the finish natural. Removing Your Makeup When the day is done, it’s important to take your makeup off properly to keep your skin healthy: Use an oil or balm cleanser to break down your makeup gently. This ensures everything lifts away without tugging at the skin. Avoid makeup wipes – they can smear product across your face without fully removing it, which may lead to clogged pores. For false lashes, carefully peel them away from the outer corner, or use a little oil or micellar water to soften the glue if needed. Lashes can be reused, so pop them back in their case or a safe spot ready for your next outing. Your makeup has been designed to last, so with these little steps, you’ll look radiant all day – and your skin will thank you later!
