So you've got the right African American skin care products and you're ready for a night out on the town, but how are you going to keep your look from fading? Journal Online spoke to makeup expert Didi Gluck who offered some tips for keeping makeup looking fresh from day till evening.
First, Gluck recommended oil-free foundation to avoid breakouts and that people with dry skin should start off by using a hydrating formula. The question remains, how do you keep this solution from running or causing your makeup to smudge?
"To avoid [the hydrating formula] from melting and to keep this in place, allow the moisturizer [to] first sink in completely, wait for five minutes or more before spreading on the foundation. Then lock it in with translucent powder, which will help soak up oils that can accelerate fading," said Gluck, quoted by the news source.
TotalBeauty.com also made suggestions for helping makeup last all day. The website recommends that women with oily skin use blotting pads to soak up excess moisture rather than constantly trying to cover it up with powder. Hiding oil with makeup will just lead to an over-done look that will start to flake faster.
