One of the problems that many people often face is makeup that wears off easily even though the application process takes a long time. To keep your makeup fresh and last longer, there are a few tips you can try. Here are ways that can help your makeup last all day long.

1. Apply Setting Powder in the Last Stage
   Setting powder is a very useful product to lock in makeup and make it last longer. Setting powder has mattifying properties that can reduce oil and minimize makeup smudging. Use setting powder in the last stage after all the makeup is done. Choose a setting powder that suits your skin tone. For those with oily skin, you can also add pressed powder to the T-zone area to prevent excess shine.
   
   
2. Use Setting Spray for Maximum Moisture
   For those with dry skin, a setting spray can be a good choice. Setting spray provides additional moisture that will help makeup stay put perfectly throughout the day. Spray setting spray about 6 inches away from your face after makeup application for optimal results. Setting spray also helps to hold all layers of makeup together for a longer lasting effect.
   
   
3. Avoid Applying Too Many Layers of Makeup
   One common mistake that can make makeup smudge easily is applying too many layers of product. Too many layers of makeup will not adhere well to the skin and can actually make it look cakey. Use makeup products thinly and evenly, using your fingers or a sponge to apply it. This will make the makeup last longer and look more natural.
   
   
4. Exfoliate Your Face Regularly
   Makeup will not stick well if your skin is dry or has a lot of dead skin cells. Therefore, it is important to exfoliate your face regularly. Exfoliate twice a week for dry skin and three times a week for oily skin. Removing dead skin cells will make your skin smoother and provide a better surface for makeup to adhere perfectly.
   
   
5. Using Primer as Makeup Base
   Primer is a very important product for keeping makeup on for a long time. Primer helps keep skin moisturized and creates a smooth base for foundation application. Use primer after skincare to create a protective layer that will prolong the staying power of your makeup.
   
   
6. Choose Makeup Products According to Your Skin Type
   For longer-lasting makeup results, choose makeup products that are formulated according to your skin type. For example, if you have dry skin, choose a liquid foundation with hyaluronic acid to keep your skin moisturized. On the other hand, for oily skin, use a foundation with salicylic acid that can help control excess oil.
   
   

By following the tips above, you can achieve longer-lasting makeup that stays looking fresh all day long. From using setting powder and setting spray, to choosing the right products according to your skin type, everything contributes to keeping your makeup lasting. Don't forget to always do proper skincare, such as exfoliation and primer, for maximum makeup results.
