How do you make makeup last longer??

Question

my foundation wears off super fast how do i keep it on longer .. and how do i keep my nose from getting oily throughout the day??

Answer 1

Try using primer beforehand. Or using powder after.

Answer 2

I saw something on internet that saying after you finish the makeup, you spray a litter bit water on your face and then use paper to press on your face. They said that can make it last longer.

Answer 3

Makeup needs to be reapplied. But here is a good way. Oil wipes. They sell them everywhere. Little wipes that suck up oil without taking off makeup. they are the same thing as toilet seat covers (the paper things at airports you can put down on the toilet seats). As for your foundation, if it wears off super fast you should look for a different foundation.

Answer 4

Put on some covergirl pressed powder after applying your foundation it will help both problems.  Once you do this you wont be able to go without it.  Also, you can carry the compact around in your purse for touch ups throughout the day.

Answer 5

cover girl has oil free foundation you could try that, its cheap and you would be finding out what works for you. also you could bring a light powder with you and just apply it whey you go to the b/r.

Answer 6

use a higher grade of make-up and not the cheap stuff

Answer 7

get a liquid foundation and than use a powder foundation

to keep your nose from getting oily use paper blotting oil sheets (you can find them anywhere ex. shoppersdrug mart)

hope i helped good luck

Answer 8

use a primer like urban decay primer

Answer 9

use a toner before you apply it making sure your face is clean. Apply an oil free foundation then a nice powder after the foundation kinda dries. About the nose thing...there are papers you can use to remove the oil without messing up your makeup OR you can use a toilet seat cover, you know the ones in public bathrooms...I know sounds weird but I saw it on TV. well anyways use the paper than a touch of powder.

Answer 10

It's all about the prep. Here are the steps:

1. Exfoliate your face and neck once a week.

2. Every day before applying makeup, do the following:

         a. Wash your face and neck gently with a good cleanser.

         b. Wipe a toner (I like witch hazel) all over both areas.

         c. Sparingly blend in a moisturizer for your skin type.

With this base work completed, you can dot your foundation on your chin, cheeks and forehead. Blend in with light, feathery strokes and a spritz or two of Evian water. Then let it set for ten minutes before doing anything else.

Answer 11

I apply either a primer or light moisturizer before I apply foundation. Then I dust on some translucent powder. Clinique makes a good primer and oil-free moisturizer. I use Bare Minerals Mineral Veil for powder. Sometimes, especially in hot, humid weather, I use  oil-blotting papers to soak up oil and persperation. Then I dust on some Mineral Veil. This really improves the staying power of my makeup.

Answer 12

Buy 'bare minerals' makeup. It's a little pricey but you will be 100% satisfied.  

Answer 13

use a primer

i would recommend a lorac brand primer

it's made for oily/combination skin

so it'll keep your skin from getting oily

Answer 14

Dont sweat, stay out of moist air...idk know what else to tell you.

Answer 15

urban decay make-up primer
