Whether you’re a make-up pro or a novice in the beauty verse, our curated guide is here to let you in on the secrets of creating long-lasting makeup and look your best, no matter what challenges the day throws your way.

Stepwise guide on long-lasting makeup

Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to create a long-lasting makeup look:

Step 1: Start with skincare

The key to unlocking a long-lasting makeup look lies in the meticulous skincare ritual. Save the laissez-faire approach for another day! Hydrated skin is the foundation for a lasting makeup look. Start by cleaning your skin with a suitable cleanser to eradicate traces of dirt, sweat, and other impurities. Pat your skin dry and apply a moisturizer and serum for flawless make-up application.

Step 2: Set the base with a primer

Primer is the building block of long-lasting makeup. Incorporate primer into your beauty routine to create a flawless base that will stand the test of time. We recommend you use the L’Oréal Paris Base Magique Transforming Smoothing Primer. It instantly smoothens pores, creates an even texture, smoothens the skin over time, and gifts makeup results that last long.

Step 3: Pick the right foundation

Long-lasting makeup doesn’t have to look heavy or cakey. The right foundation formula and proper application with the right tool can keep your makeup stay for a prolonged period.
We recommend you use L’Oréal Paris Infallible 24H Fresh Wear Foundation, a breakthrough long-wear non-comedogenic formula that stays humid-proof and transfer-proof for up to 24 hours. Enjoy a weightless feel, high-coverage benefits, and long-lasting results with this foundation makeup product.

Step 4: Master the long-lasting eye makeup techniques

Now that you are done with the face makeup, let’s move on to learn the long-lasting makeup tips for the eyes. Start with an eye primer. If you don’t have one, you can apply your regular primer. Using regular concealer or foundation as eyeshadow base can cause your makeup to move around your eyelid.
For best results, use long-lasting eye makeup formulas. Choose mascaras, eyeliners, and eyeshadows that are smudge-proof, deliver long-wear performance, and are labelled as water-resistant. Glossy lids are trendy, but unless you're into constant touch-ups, you should go for ultra-creamy powder eyeshadow formulas. These long-lasting makeup tips are essential to achieve eye makeup that stays from dawn to dusk.

Step 5: Lips with lasting wear performance

Bid adieu to constant touch-ups! Prep and hydrate your lips your lips by exfoliating and applying with a lip balm. Here’s a long-lasting makeup tip for the lips – outline your lips with a lip liner to keep color in check. Then, fill in your lips with the liner to give your lipstick some serious staying power, and finally, apply your favourite long-wear bullet lipstick or liquid lipstick to your pout. Voila, you are ready to talk, smile, drink, eat, and remain confident in your glam power until the end of the night.

Step 6: Seal, hold, and lock in your make-up

To lock in your look, step into the world of setting sprays and powders. If you apply pressed powder before finishing your makeup with setting spray, you must wait for some time to let the powder absorb into the skin and avoid cakey results.
Once done, set everything in with a setting spray. Hold the spray bottle 10 inches away from your face and spritz. We recommend you use the L’Oréal Paris Infallible Pro-Spray & Set Makeup Extender Setting Spray holds face, eyes, and lip makeup for all day, prevents smudging, and doesn’t require touch-ups.
