At Viva la Diva, we understand that there's nothing worse than having to touch up your makeup every few hours, so we've created a guide full of tricks, key products, and recommendations to make your look last until dawn using vegan makeup. Get ready to learn how to achieve long-lasting makeup that highlights your essence and makes you feel unique and savage!
1. How to prepare the skin before makeup
Before applying any makeup, skin preparation is essential to achieve a look that truly lasts. To start, make sure your face is clean and hydrated, as this will help the products adhere better and maintain their fresh appearance for longer.
Moisturizing primer: One of the best-kept secrets of divas is the use of a good primer. The primer or base helps create a barrier between your skin and the makeup, allowing your look to stay intact for longer. At Viva la Diva, we recommend a primer that hydrates but does not add oil, ideal for maintaining balance in the skin and preventing the makeup from falling off 🌟
With well-prepared skin, your makeup will not only have a better finish, but it will also last much longer without the need for constant touch-ups.
2. Long-lasting products: The power of waterproof and resistant formulas
"For your look to last all day, you need high-quality products that are made to last. Waterproof and long-lasting formulas will be your best allies."
Long-lasting foundation: The foundation is the key to a lasting look. To ensure a flawless finish that lasts all day, choose a long-lasting foundation. A few well-applied drops can work wonders. We recommend applying it with a brush or damp sponge for a natural finish. Liquid foundations tend to last longer and are ideal for withstanding the heat of a party ☀️🌟
High Coverage Concealer a: Another fundamental step is to use a good coverage concealer that doesn't crack over time. To prevent it from settling into expression lines, apply a touch of translucent powder after the concealer. This way, your look will stay bright and free of signs of fatigue throughout the party.
Eyeliners and mascara: One of the areas most prone to losing intensity throughout the day is the eye area. Use an eyeliner that guarantees a defined and smudge-free finish🫰🏼 As for the mascara, choose a waterproof formula so that your lashes stay intact and smudge-free, even if the night gets intense.
3. Set and Touch Up: The Art of Sealing and Keeping Makeup in Place
"At this point, you have already invested time and products in your look, so let's make sure it lasts!"
Translucent setting powders: Translucent powders are one of the best-kept secrets to achieving flawless makeup all night long🤩 These powders help to set the makeup, control shine, and prevent makeup from fading or settling.
Setting spray: The finishing touch is a good setting spray for makeup. This product helps to seal the entire look, providing an invisible layer that locks the makeup in place. It is ideal for keeping the makeup fresh and vibrant throughout the party. Spray from a distance of 20-30 cm and wait a few seconds for it to settle on the skin.
With these tricks and high-quality products, you'll achieve flawless makeup that lasts from the first selfie to the last song of the night. Look fabulous, shine like the diva you are, and let nothing stop the party! 🪩
