Prescriptives make-up artist Jillian Veran has some tips for you. Take a look. We all want a flawless face that lasts all day long but instead we find ourselves reapplying our make-up over and over again. Jillian Veran: It’s sliding off and let me keep touching up. When you keep touching up your make-up it just really makes that make-up very cakey. So not only use your make-up not lasting but it also going to become very thick and heavy looking. Audra Lowe: Jillian Veran is a make-up artist for Prescriptives and she has some tips to make your make-up lasts as long as you do. Jillian Veran: There are a lot of things that can cause your make-up to fade through the day. It can be environmental, it can be hormonal, it can be time related, I mean as we women we have all these factors coming at us. Audra Lowe: First it’s important to look for keyword when you are buying products. Jillian Veran: Long wear, you wanted to look for water resistant, heat resistant, smudge resistant, transfer resistant and more than likely oil-free but without dehydrating. Audra Lowe: Then pick the facial feature that is most important to you and build your make-up around that. Jillian Veran: From there, you build around in a much softer manner, so you don’t have to continuously do the touch up. All you are doing is focusing in on the product for you. Audra Lowe: For example if flawless skin is important that you’re going to want to focus on foundation. Jillian Veran: I highly recommend liquid mineral make-up. Now at Prescriptives, we have a long wear, 16-hour liquid mineral make-up SPF10 that it’s going to keep your skin looking gorgeous from the time you put it on the morning till you take it off at night. Audra Lowe: Or maybe you want your eyes to stay strong. If so, a 24-hour mascara might just be the ticket. Jillian Veran: This mascara is completely waterproof if you wear it alone. But let’s say you already have favorite mascara that you don’t want to change. You just sweep this over it and that mascara becomes a waterproof. It’s like a raincoat for your own favorite mascara. Audra Lowe: For lips and cheeks, look for a sheer products rather that powdery ones to avoid a cakey look from those touch ups. Jillian Veran: One of the products I really recommend is our plush blush for lips and cheeks. It’s a sheer product but yet it gives you that natural dewy color. Audra Lowe: And with this simple changes to your make-up bag, you will be able to create a flawless face that lasts all day long and even into the night. Jillian Veran: The benefit to a make-up that is going to lasts all day and still look fresh and still look radiant and still look glowing is that not only A) do you look better, but B) you feel better. Audra Lowe: Another key to making your make-up lasts is just keeping it minimal. She says the more that you have on obviously the easier it slides off.
