Tips to do your makeup when wearing a mask

It is true that at first the advent of the pandemic pushed to wearing masks. And during those unfortunate times, most makeup products were simply lost to the corner of the wardrobe. However, today the world has returned to some level of normalcy. But we haven’t entirely said goodbye to all the norms we picked up during the pandemic. For instance, many of us still carry sanitizers. Another thing that many of us still do - whether as a style statement or simply out of habit - is wearing a mask. Moreover, different states keep making it mandatory at different points to wear masks when going out. In such cases, it is advisable to invest in the best eye makeup products as well as some other smudge-proof makeup products. 

Makeup tips to keep in mind when wearing a mask 

It is understandable that you’d want to look flawless when stepping out of the home. However, the fear that a mask could smudge your makeup might keep you from flaunting the look you want. Instead of giving up entirely, it is advisable to make use of the following tips: 

Use a light foundation 

Prepare your base by making use of a hydrating face moisturizer and a good sunscreen. Given that masks can cause induced friction, they can often result in skin irritation. Hence, in order to counteract this you need to use a good moisturizer. Similarly, you need to remember that only half of your face will be covered with a mask. This can cause uneven tanning. So make sure to use sunscreen. Once the base is ready, you need to choose a light foundation. You want to keep your makeup as light as possible so that it does not smudge. 

Focus on the eyes 

If you truly want to create an impactful look, play up your eyes. You can draw attention to your eyes by using waterproof liquid eyeliner and shimmery eyeshadow. Moreover, you do not have to worry about this part of the makeup getting smudged at all. So you can really get creative and try out the look that you want. Just make sure to use waterproof eye makeup products so that nothing smudges because of sweat. 

Smudge Proof Lipstick

Apart from using the best waterproof eyeliner, make sure to use smudge-proof lipstick as well. The lips receive the maximum amount of friction because of face masks. Hence, you need to make use of lipstick that won’t smudge or transfer at all. Try avoiding lip gloss or balm as they can easily transfer to the mask. Once you return home, however, make sure to moisturize your lips well. Otherwise, they might start feeling dry at all times. 

Conclusion 

When doing your eye makeup, you can also add volume to your lashes by using waterproof mascara. You can also pay attention to your brows. Since your eyes will be highlighted, eyebrows will draw attention as well. After using blush and highlighter on your cheeks, don’t forget to set everything with a makeup fixer.
