How to Make Your Makeup Last for 10 Hours: Marquesa Edition

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Casper Libero chapter.

Since the end of the Communication and Arts University Games, aka JUCA, everybody is waiting for the next event at Cásper Líbero. The day is finally here: on Saturday (June 9) we’re going to have the Marquesa party. This year`s theme is to remember the greatest moments of JUCA, and that’s why it will last 10 hours. 

Do you want you to enjoy every single minute of this party? Here are some tips to make your makeup last all night (and day) long. Check it out!

5 steps to make your makeup last

#1 Clean your skin 

Wash your face with a special soap for your skin type, apply a facial tonic and a moisturizer. A clean and hydrated skin will help to apply better the products and to settle them.

#2 Primer 

Besides decrease pores, primers help to fix the make up. And now there are primers for everything! Eyes, lashes, mouth… Use them in your favor!

#3 Holly Waters

Thermal water is a great help to fix the products in your skin, but don’t use it after the powder if you’re looking for a mattefied look. 

#4 Choose products wisely

Some products can make your makeup last less, so be careful when choosing what to wear! Powders and products with matte effect will help it last longer. Waterproof mascaras and liquid blushes are also perfect to the occasion! If you’re looking for the cat eyeliner look, choose liquid over gel eyeliners.

#5 Bake it!

To make your contour last more, apply a powder of the same color of the concealer over the lines you made. It will help to settle the products and make the contour last much more.
