Makeup of the ideal face to wear a mask
What happens to makeup when you wear a mask? The reality is that we because we like it, because we want to see ourselves and be seen as beautiful, because it lifts our spirits and because it serves as a communication to others, especially if you have an important work meeting and you want to make a good impression. For whatever reason, can one continue putting on makeup with a mask? The truth is that yes, but with certain nuances and recommendations. Let’s see, first of all, how you should make up your face if you wear a face mask.
Cleanses the skin of your face very well
- The mask can be part of your daily routine and ritual, but what should also be part of your beauty routine? Well, facial cleansing, of course. Preparing your face well will be the first step to be able to wear makeup and a mask at the same time.
- If we always tell you that it is important to take care of and keep the, now that we are going to have to wear a mask, even more so. According to experts, the mask or face mask makes the skin not breathe the same as it did before it was not covered. Dehydration and irritation of the skin after prolonged use of the mask can be avoided if, when we get home, we wash our face well with water and neutral soap, remove make-up and start with our ritual of moisturizing creams (avoid those that contain oils). Fatty), serum, tonic and all those things that you already know very well and that we are not going to repeat so that you do not call us ‘heavy’.
- Once our skin is clean, free of impurities and dead cells and we have managed to keep the skin’s pH balanced, the next morning, we can put on our makeup as we are going to tell you now.
Forget about foundation for a while
- Do you remember the makeup artist’s little trick of mixing the makeup base with your moisturizer? Well, leave it parked for a while. Wearing a base and a mask is not very compatible, what’s more, it makes the skin neither breathes nor perspires well and the mask gets stained, what a disaster!
- What happens if we want to wear a base one day for this or that reason? It’s okay, for once nothing happens, yes, and that the makeup base is oil-free (free of oils) so that it does not clog the follicle. Plus extra, that your base has sun protection.
Say yes to concealer
One of the best options we have in our hands to give expression to the face and look up is to correct dark circles. The concealer or a natural highlighter with light coverage will give you the perfect touch while providing a point of natural light in the dark circles area. Always choose those concealers that are less coverage and illuminate to prevent the skin from looking loaded.
Eye makeup if you are going to wear a mask
The mascara, the eye shadow, the eyeliner, the primer… Let’s see how you are going to have to take advantage of your look while you are wearing the mask, because this interests us all, right? A note: always quality makeup and fashionable colors, seasonal and according to the tastes and characteristics of each one. Let’s start!
Eye shadow, which one to choose?
- Many advice using the primer to enhance the color of the shadow and make it last intact for what amounts to the whole day. As for the shadows, the ones that give the best results, even more so in hot weather, are the powders.
- put on thin the color that you like the most and depending on whether you are going to have a drink or to a super important meeting with your bosses, but do not make the mistake of thinking that since it is the only part of the face that you can put on makeup, the eyes have to be loaded with more, nothing of that. Make up yes, but naturalness above all and always.
- Did you know that there are make-up artists who say that the eye shadow must be combined with the mask?? Well thought they are absolutely right, don’t you think? Well, if we follow this premise, we discover that for blue masks, soft brown tones are perfect; for the green mask, pink shadows with a hint of shine; For the white ones, smoky bronze tones and if your mask has a pattern, shades in neutral tones. What a good idea!
Eyeliner, don’t miss it!
As for the eyeliner, another must have for your makeup with a mask, don’t miss out on black, blue and brown in your cosmetic bag, with these three shades you can make as many combinations as you want. Another thing to keep in mind is that the eyeliner is waterproof (water resistant), it will be in perfect condition all day.
Mask in mask times
As you can see, to put on makeup well with a mask, all you have to do is focus on the eyes, so mascara. In black or blue if summer has already arrived in your city, wear it as close as possible to the base of the eyelash and avoid anything that looks like clumps.
You can first use the eyelash curler to give your look more intensity and then put on the mascara as we just said. Have you seen how good it looks?
Paint your lips with a mask: yes or no?
- Lips with a mask possible? Yes of course. You have two options, wash your hands well, remove your mask when you are in a safe place and paint your lips as you like. The thing here is that you will have to remove your make-up when it is time to put the mask back on.
- The second option is to go for lip tints (there are also cheek tints). It is a non-greasy make-up that dries quickly on the skin and does not transfer, that is, it is free of waxes and oils, so it adds color to the skin without disturbing the mask.
