Creating makeup that will look flawless throughout the day is not an easy task, even for a makeup artist. But it is doable! How to maintain the brightness and colorfulness of eye makeup using cosmetic products and special techniques - we tell you below.

Waterproof and moisture-resistant products

It's no secret that waterproof mascaras, eyeliners and pencils are ideal for the summer season. They are not afraid of sweat, tears of happiness, high humidity or sea breeze. That is why every makeup artist should have products marked waterproof, water resistant, and long lasting in their arsenal. Feel free to use them if you are gathering a girl for a wedding, prom or other long-term celebration.

Eyeshadow base

Thanks to the shadow base, cosmetic products will not crumble or smear, and makeup will not lose its intensity. The base increases the durability of all eye makeup products, so you can’t do without it when it’s hot summer. Moreover, this product will help even out the texture of the skin before applying shadows, make their color more intense and even hide signs of fatigue if applied in the area around the eyes. As a base, you can use a nude colored pencil base.

Layering textures

The method of layering textures is one of the most popular when performinglong-lasting makeup . In this case, you should first apply cream shadows and then dry ones. A dry product will fix the creamy product, prevent the shadows from smearing or sliding, and also add intensity to the color. It is important that the layers are thin - then the makeup will look natural and fresh.

Wet brush

One easy way to make shadows last longer is to apply them to the eyelid with a damp brush. You can lightly moisten the brush with plain water or makeup fixing spray. But before applying, use a base or a little concealer to improve the adhesion of the shadow to the skin. Finally, blend the shadows with a dry brush to prolong the result.

Additional decor

If you are doing makeup that involves stones, rhinestones, pearls or any applications on the eyelids or around the eyes, take care of a long-lasting product to fix them. In this case, eyelash extension glue or fixing gel is best.

Setting spray

Fixatives help make your makeup last longer, so finish off your makeup application with a spritz of this miracle product. Of course, you shouldn't aim directly at the eyes. Ask the client to close her eyes and apply setting spray to her entire face.
