How to make make-up permanent? Permanent makeup

Surely, makeup gurus, of which there are many at the Beautician, I will not discover any super innovative techniques. But fairly simple tricks allow you to make a decent make-up that will be with you for 8-10 hours in any conditions - training, a nightclub, a hot day, a light rain.
I want to immediately warn the comments on how you can go in for sports with makeup - in my case, you can. I have sports every day from morning to evening. And I want to look good. I did not find any negative effect on the condition of the skin (which, by the way, I was very afraid of). Perhaps, for people with sensitive or problematic skin, training in a make-up will seem like heresy, but my post is not about that.

My initial data is combination skin, the t-zone begins to shine over time, the cheeks are prone to dryness. The nose is now peeling (I overexposed REN peeling). The eyelids are slightly overhanging and oily, almost all mascaras and even MAC gel eyeliner are imprinted on them.

So, first and foremost principle, it's a layering of creamy and dry textures. Moreover, each layer is best powdered to keep for sure. Do not think that there will be a thick layer of plaster on the face - if all layers are applied very thinly and carefully blended, everything will be fine.

Second principle- use of make-up bases. Until I discovered the base for the shadows, any shadow rolled on me after two hours.

Third principle- use of persistent cosmetics. Here you have to work by trial and error. It is useless to believe the inscriptions on the packaging. For example, Givenchy waterproof mascara was imprinted on my eyelids in 15 minutes after application (and this is without any physical activity). Maybe the most unexpected product will be resistant to you, so you need to try it. Below is a list of my favorites, which may be suitable for you.

Now let's go through the areas of makeup application separately.

1.Tone.
The first thing that is very desirable to do is to apply the thinnest layer of the base for makeup. At least for those areas that are most prone to the disappearance of foundation - the t-zone, the wings of the nose, etc. I use the Clarins Eclat Minute base in shade 02 and I love it.

A thick layer of tone will not hold well, even if it is a super long-lasting tint. In conditions of heat and humidity, it will surely leak. For myself, I decided that the optimal coverage for long-lasting makeup is a light BB cream applied in a thin layer. Ideally, a beauty blender. My favorites are BB Dior Hydralife and BB Clinique Anti-blemish solution, with the latter being slightly less durable.

A very important point is the perfect fusion of foundation with skin color! In this case, any make-up flaws will not be evident.

Next, set the result with loose powder. I collect powder on a medium-sized brush and carefully work out the entire face and neck in circular motions, paying special attention to the wings of the nose, forehead and chin, polishing the face.

2.Concealer.

I use concealer for the area around my eyes. To create a long-lasting make-up, it is not advisable to use greasy eyelid products - the make-up will float and roll. I prefer the light Clinique pep-start cream, I apply it quite a bit and let it soak in for a few minutes. Then I apply concealer. I have two favorites from different price ranges - Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer and Maybelline Fit Me. I apply a small amount of the product with my fingers, driving in movements, paying special attention to the inner corners of the eyes. And immediately I fix it with powder, and, moreover, meteorites perfectly showed themselves as a fixer in the area under the eyes! Apparently, thanks to the fine grinding and the highlighting effect, they work just fine. If the concealer still managed to get into the folds, you need to spread it again with your fingers and re-fix it with powder.

3. Blush.

Next comes the blush. We apply them according to the same principle - first a small amount of a cream product (I have his Tarte blush in a stick, I wrote a review on them), carefully shade and fix with powder blush on top. Here I can not single out a specific brand, all my blush hold equally well. The main thing is that the blush is not too pigmented and blends well, otherwise there is a risk of getting a bright spot on the cheek. On a creamy texture, dry blush appears much brighter. Here you can work as a highlighter, sculptor and bronzer. After blending the dry blush, I once again take the brush with the rest of the powder and set the makeup with polishing movements.

4. Eyebrows.

At this point, I have an unequivocal and unconditional favorite - Anastasia Beverly Hills eyebrow lipstick. This is a brilliant product with excellent staying power. For some time after application, the lipstick seizes and keeps in its original form until make-up removal. You can move your hand along the eyebrows, you can wet your face - nothing will spoil your makeup.

5. Eye shadow.

An obligatory item in eye makeup is applying a base under the shadow. Moreover, you need to apply it with the thinnest layer, if instead of durability we do not want to get a completely opposite effect.
Apply a small amount:

Blended:

After the base is applied to the entire eyelid with light patting movements, I take a brush and carefully apply shadows in skin color all over the eyelid. The Sand shade from the Anastasia Beverly Hills Sculpting Palette showed itself very well in this capacity, but I have no doubt that you can find a lot of other equally successful solutions.

Next, I apply any shadows, depending on the makeup idea, but the brands MAC and MUFE showed their best. Confident resistance in its original form to make-up removal.

6. Eyeliner.

I don’t use eyeliner very often, but I have some observations about the durability of individual products. Reinforced concrete eyeliners are held on me, washed off with a “stocking”, for example, Lumene. I did not like the product itself, but I have no complaints about durability. A very pleasant impression of the Dior Addict eyeliner - it keeps just wonderfully, and washing it off with plain water is a pleasure. A post about eyeliner from the summer collection.

Separately, I want to say about the arrows drawn with the help of duraline from Inglot. I was extremely surprised, but the result was very persistent and lasted all day! Definitely like it.

7.Ink.

This is probably the most important point. Makeup without mascara is not makeup. And mascara is the most problematic product for me. With oily and slightly overhanging eyelids, my active lifestyle becomes a serious test for mascaras of any category. Almost everything prints on me, including waterproof options. The only hassle-free formula that was a huge discovery for me and made my life much easier was thermal mascara. The leader of my preferences is the hard-to-find Trish McEvoy, but there are analogues in other brands. In particular, Clinique lash power mascara long-wearing formula (with a disgusting brush), MagRuss Mascara Volume Spectaculaire, budget Divage and many others that I have yet to try. So, heat-resistant mascaras do not imprint completely, regardless of their operating conditions . They do not crumble, do not flow and are washed off (with varying degrees of success - depending on the brand) with warm water. This is just a find! Anyone who also suffers from mascara prints on the upper eyelid, I recommend trying it!

8. Lip products.

With the use of persistent lip makeup, I did not work out. Most often I use soft glosses that can be easily corrected. But, in the event that intense lip makeup is needed, lip pencils come to the rescue. Especially for this post, I decided to use lipstick.

I outline the contour, after which I paint over the entire surface of the lips with a thin layer.

I apply lipstick on this foundation. I took the most ordinary, moisturizing Bare Minerals.

This is usually sufficient. If you need a super-resistant makeup, you can additionally blot your lips with a napkin, lightly powder the first layer, and then apply the second layer.
With persistent matte lipsticks, I think everything is clear - they hold on like nailed.

Here's what I got. I will say right away that I did not pursue the goal of creating some kind of unusual and memorable makeup. This is my hurried makeover for going to work, the purpose of which is to showcase the products in action.

And here is the same makeup after 10 hours (I planned a little less, but it turned out according to the maximum program), of which three hours were occupied with intensive training in conditions of high air temperature and humidity:

I corrected only lipstick (with lipsticks, after all, fuss much more, glosses work much better in such cases). I usually use matting wipes, but, for the purity of the experiment, I refrained from them here. There was a greasy sheen (not critical), eyebrows in place, blush in place. The mascara didn't smudge or smudge. Makeup, of course, does not look fresh, but this is understandable. But you can easily fix it in two minutes and go somewhere else without applying a new make-up.

I will be very glad if my post is useful.

Is the durability of cosmetic products important to you? What are your favorites?

You have probably found yourself in a situation where flawless makeup lost its aesthetic appearance (due to weather conditions, or for some other reason). Would you like to learn a few tricks to help you make the most of your permanent make-up to keep it for 8 or more hours? Then our article is for you!

How to apply permanent makeup?

1. It is necessary to do a deep cleansing of the skin

It is very important to thoroughly cleanse the skin of the face before applying makeup. After all, traces of cosmetics that were applied earlier can remain in the pores. In addition, the skin needs to be hydrated. Only then the base, shadows and blush will lie flat.

How to properly moisturize the skin? There is one easy way to do this and at the same time prepare the skin for applying cosmetics: using.

Steep two sachets of chamomile in half a glass of water.
Put the infusion for 10 minutes in the refrigerator.
Using a cotton pad, cleanse the skin of the face with a prepared chamomile remedy.
You will get a double effect! The skin of the face will be not only cleansed, but also moisturized, and blood circulation will noticeably improve.
The first step to get permanent makeup is done.

2. A little trick when applying makeup base

Makeup artists resort to a little trick: after applying a makeup base, such as a CC cream (BB cream) or matting powder, they lightly spray the face with a mixture of mineral water and gel. A very small amount of liquid will suffice. It should give the effect of "fine rain". After that, apply powder again. This technique helps to fix the makeup: it lasts much longer.

In order to prepare the mixture, you only need to boil a glass of water and one spoonful of aloe gel.
Mix these ingredients well.
When the mixture is ready, put it in the refrigerator.

3. How to make sure that the mascara does not smear?

There is a very simple and effective way. Before applying mascara to your eyelashes, apply a little powder on them.

Carefully remove the remnants of old makeup. If you are using waterproof mascara, We recommend washing it off with a mixture of two ingredients: coconut and olive oils. You only need a small amount of the mixture to remove make-up and moisturize your lashes. In addition, these oils also contribute to the growth of eyelashes.

4. And for lipstick to last longer ...

Of all cosmetics, the first to disappear from the face. Conversations, food, drinks… The surest way is to use persistent lipsticks. And today there are a huge number of options for sale. However, removing such makeup is much more difficult.

There is an easier way to make long-lasting lip makeup - to keep their skin soft and moisturized. Then the lipstick will go on evenly and last longer.

Needed daily. How? Before going to bed, apply a special lip balm to your lips, and then a little sugar. After that, take a cotton pad dipped in chamomile decoction and rub your lips a little with it. This treatment using natural ingredients has an exfoliating effect. Then apply lip balm again. In the morning, lips will be soft and ready to apply your favorite lipstick.

To make the shadows on the eyes look as bright and saturated as in the palette, use the so-called “substrate” for them, it will create a background for the shadows and enhance their durability. Here are the most common beauty product options that can be found in most cosmetic bags and used as a "substrate".

Foundation or concealer set with powder

This is a classic makeup technique, and despite the fact that progress has already gone forward, this method still does not lose its effectiveness. Therefore, if there are no other special products at hand, apply a thin layer of foundation or concealer on your eyes, and then blend a small amount of powder on top with a fluffy natural brush. Then apply eye shadow.

In this way, you will make the skin around the eyes more uniform, removing unnecessary shades, and the shadows will have the color that you see in the palette. Keeping eye makeup with such a “substrate” during the day will also be better than without a base at all.

Eyeliner

Choose an eyeliner that matches your future makeup, apply to the entire surface of the moving eyelid, or only to the outer corner, and blend the borders. The shadows applied on top will become more saturated and much more persistent.

If the pencil has waterproof properties, blend it immediately as you apply it, otherwise it may have time to gain a foothold and shading will become impossible.

Base for shadows

The easiest and most common way to prepare your eyes for makeup is to use. Apply it with your fingers all over the upper eyelid, blending to the eyebrows, and do not forget about the lower eyelid if you plan to apply eye shadow from below.

Specialized bases can additionally care for the skin around the eyes, such as Urban Decay Anti-Aging with a moisturizing effect. In addition, eyeshadow bases provide eyelid tone alignment, shadow fixation, light shading and color saturation.

Gel eyeliner

If you have a gel eyeliner that you love to draw on, try using that as a base under your eye shadow as well. Gel eyeliners come in a variety of colors, so you can choose a shade for any makeup, but black eyeliner is most often used, which makes any color of the shadows darker and more saturated.

Gel eyeliners as an eyeshadow base provide a particularly long-wearing eye make-up. Use a flat synthetic brush to apply eyeliner to the mobile eyelid and blend the edges with a fluffy brush. After that, apply shadow, gently imprinting the color into the "substrate".

Kayal

Lovers of black kayala and tinted eye mucosa can be recommended to use such a pencil as a base for shadows. After staining the mucosa, apply kayal to the space between the eyelashes, and then shade the entire eyelid with it. Blend the edges with a fluffy brush, and then fill the eyelid with shadows of the desired shades. Thanks to the use of kayala, the shadows will become more saturated and last as long as possible. You can read more about using kayal.

Video: The secret of long-lasting makeup

One makeup artist told WH an interesting story. His close friend went through with wedding makeup for four whole days. As you can see, modern cosmetics can last a long time on the skin.

The softer the texture of the lipstick, the less resistant it is and the less saturated its color.

However, if something like “16 hours of durability” or “24 hours” is written on the package of the foundation, you should know: the manufacturers tell you the best test result, not the average one.

Three categories of persistent remedies

We are all different. Someone touches their face throughout the day, others do not have such a habit; you apply the tone in all the rules, and your sister - never. All this affects the durability of cosmetics. And if you want to get a good long-lasting makeup, choose one of two ways to achieve your goal: buy special cosmetics or use the advice of WH. So, there are three categories of persistent funds:

Waterproof (in translation from English - “waterproof”). This cosmetic repels water from the outside. Mascara is perhaps the most famous product in this category. It is especially popular in summer, at the height of the beach season, and in winter, when sleet and strives to ruin makeup. However, this does not mean that it is not easy to find shadows or foundations with the Waterproof label - they are presented on the market in abundance.
Long Lasting (in translation from English - “long-term”). These products contain many colorants, but durability is achieved not only due to quantity: the pigments are highly crushed to better “sit down” on the skin, and are held together with liquid silicone oils. But don't be scared, it's generally one of the most harmless components actively used in color cosmetics today. The result is this: products of the Long Lasting category are distinguished by durability and bright saturated color. Keep in mind that the more pigments in the same lipstick, the more difficult it is to apply it perfectly evenly.
Water Resistant (translated from English - “water resistant”). The "jars" on which you will find this phrase are resistant to the moisture that the human body releases - simply put, to sweat. In the summer, makeup artists recommend that everyone switch to such cosmetics. Well, remember for the future: it is almost indispensable for women during menopause.

Make long lasting lipstick!

Makeup artist Bobby Brown tells you how to make long-lasting lipstick out of regular lipstick:

Get a pencil that matches your lip color.
Draw an outline for them, and then completely shade the lips.
Apply lipstick in a thin layer.
Run the pencil over the entire surface of the lips again to create a protective wax layer.
Gliding movements with light pressure, rub the lipstick with the pads of your fingers.
Lipstick will become even more resistant if you apply a little powder or blush on top of it.

Why are cosmetics so durable?

Each pigment that is part of Waterproof and Water Resistant products is treated with either silicone or amino acids. This is done so that it acquires a spherical shape - this way the color “attaches” to the skin better and, accordingly, lasts longer. The technology is good because such a tool will not exfoliate, even if you decide to apply the tone very tightly. And it will not oxidize - that is, change the shade during the day.

It is believed that the first waterproof eye product was mascara, invented by Elena Rubinstein herself. She created it for the dancers of the water ballet troupe.

Instead of long-term funds

And what to do if at the moment you don’t have this most persistent cosmetics at hand? There are several ways to remedy the situation. Here are some of them:

Before painting, degrease the skin - including the eyelids. Cosmetics, upon contact with the secretions of the sebaceous glands, begin to roll and dissolve.
Apply shadow with a damp applicator. They say they last longer. And even if this does not affect their durability, water will make the color brighter anyway. Which is also good.
Don't forget the make-up base. And know that it will never be replaced by a mattifying care product. These are two different products. If you stumble upon an eye primer in the store, don't be tempted. Just apply a base that covers the entire face. These products have the same principle of operation.
Relatively recently, sprays have appeared on the market - make-up fixatives (Make Up For Ever - Mist & Fix has a wonderful one). Not to be confused with thermal water. The thing is really useful: it reduces the fat content of the skin and “keeps” cosmetics on it. Apply this spray all over your face when your make-up is ready.

How to remove persistent makeup?

To do this without problems, you need a product containing oil. The first thing that comes to mind is a two-phase liquid. Yes, it will fit perfectly. And yet, the opinion that long-wearing cosmetics are best removed by such products is, for the most part, a marketing trick.

Today, almost all make-up removers are enriched with "caring" components - including oils. The more of them in the product, the faster it will erase the war paint from the face. Our advice: choose "washers" from makeup brands, because they themselves produce persistent cosmetics of all colors and calibers and know how to get rid of it, in a good way.

Are permanent cosmetics harmful?

When waterproof cosmetics first appeared on the Russian market, they suffered a lot: many were afraid of new formulas because of the feeling of skin tightness. Yes, indeed, this problem existed before. After all, the stability of the formula is ensured by the addition of components that evaporate when it comes into contact with the skin: this is how the colored ingredients “cling” to the epidermis better. The result is a tightening effect.

Fortunately, some genius came up with the idea to enrich the composition of products with moisturizing ingredients. The principle of operation has remained the same, but now not a single foundation will cause inconvenience. And further. Some people still believe that some mascaras or shadows (especially waterproof ones) cause conjunctivitis. Answer yourself honestly: how long have you washed your makeup bag, how often do you wash your brushes and sponges, do you have all the pencils for eyes, lips and eyebrows in caps? And then blame the manufacturers.

Choose a persistent tone

If you have oily skin, look for foundations like Water Resistant. The secretions of the sebaceous glands are also moisture. Be prepared for the fact that you will use up your tube of foundation much faster than a friend who has dry skin. The oily type has a higher absorbency because the structure is porous. And if the skin “requests” several servings of foundation at once, this is normal, do not be greedy.
Do you want to get a denser coverage and carefully mask imperfections? Take the tone that says Foundation (aka fluid). If you already have even skin, buy emulsions. They contain water and oil, so the coating is translucent, and the texture is lighter.
The Oil-Free marking on foundation does not mean that the foundation contains no oils at all. It does not contain mineral species that prohibit the use of some, including Russian, laws.

Mask imperfections for a long time

In case you need to hide a tattoo or a scar, cosmetics manufacturers have special products in store: masking creams with maximum covering properties. They contain a huge amount of pigments, and they have a rather thick texture.

You can use them to tone your face or just the problem area. And you can also stand in the shower for an hour or walk in the rain, and nothing bad will happen. What is the name of such a miracle, you ask. The answer is Full Cover by Make Up For Ever or Dermablend by Vichy.
