HOW TO KEEP YOUR MAKEUP FROM TRANSFERRING ONTO YOUR MASK
As we all navigate the new normal and start to venture back out into the world with our protective protocols in place, I’ve noticed that we’re finding challenges in unexpected places like our own faces. Many of my friends are expressing their frustration about their makeup coming off on their masks. One friend confessed that she’s stopped wearing makeup below her mask line because it creates such a mess on her face. Some have stopped wearing makeup all together. This predicament is not uncommon.
The good news is that there are actually some simple solutions you can implement to address the dreaded makeup-to-mask transfer. Let’s look at a breakdown by category!
COMPLEXION PREP
- BeautyPrep™ Hyaluronic Serum is our recommendation. It allows skin to hold 1000 times its weight in moisture without compromising foundation wear.
Before applying any makeup, start by evaluating your skincare products. Going less emollient with moisturizers can give the skin a better canvas for makeup to adhere to. Many people are getting success using serums rather than heavy creams. You’ll definitely want to avoid petroleum-based moisturizers.
FOUNDATIONS
- Beyond Matte™ Liquid Foundation and PurePressed® Base Mineral Foundation are our recommendations. They give buildable coverage and a wonderful stay-put finish. I recommend applying using our Flocked Sponge in a pressing and rolling motion for additional coverage.
Consider your formula when wearing a mask. Like a moisturizer, heavy emollients can often compromise longevity and transfer resistance. Avoid cream foundations and stick to lightweight liquids or powders. If you’re concerned with coverage, layer them for a more opaque finish.
