In many places, protection of the mouth and nose is now mandatory. Especially on warm days, under the mask it quickly becomes stuffy, so the applied makeup suffers.
We have collected various tips so that the makeup does not
fall into the mask, but remains in its place.
Alpha and omega - the
right foundation
First of all, foundation is important as a base for make-up.
This conceals minor imperfections and redness and ensures an even complexion.
We quickly banish sweat under the face mask. Of course, make-up should stay in
place and not rub against the fabric of the mask. Under no circumstances should
you use opaque makeup that clogs your pores. The skin cannot breathe and the
cream settles on the mask. It is better to use a day mattifying cream that
creates a good foundation with a delicate shade.
It makes intellect to use a primer as a base. The primer
covers the skin with a light film, leaving the skin fresh and supple. You put
makeup on a primer that adheres very well to this base. With a primer, make-up
stays in place and does not rub off the mask. Remove excess makeup with test
paper. Spread resistant powder and fixing spray provide a final finish. The
spray covers the makeup with invisible skin and prevents blemishes.
Alternatively, you can apply makeup on the upper half of the
face, where the mask will not lie, and gently smooth it out with a brush. In
this way, you are particularly effective in preventing discoloration.
Lipstick - only if
needed
Lipstick under the mask is a little tricky. Or apply
lipstick after removing it - after all, the painted lips under protection are
still not visible. If you still want to apply lipstick, custom a long-lasting
lipstick. Oily pencils or lip gloss are not suitable because these products are
bound to stick to the mask fabric.

Expressive eyes
attract attention
Half of the face is currently unknown under the protection
for the mouth and nose, so it is very nice to highlight the eyes. It is
expressive when the eyes become larger and shine, so that you can almost
replace a smile behind a mask.
First, cover the dark edges under the eyes with concealer,
even finer unevenness, redness and age spots will disappear under the
concealer. It is best to lightly tap the food with your fingertips. The
post-setting powder ensures that the concealer does not set.
Now the task is to emphasize the eyes as expressively as
possible. Gently outline your eyebrows with a pencil. It becomes even more
expressive with a apposite gel that directly shapes the eyebrows. Using the
eyeliner, draw a wide line to the corner of the eye. Whether you choose the
thinner line of one curved wing depends on your taste. If you like it
especially noticeably, you can also draw a line in green or blue along the
lower edge of the eyelid. For deeper eyes, it is recommended to use brown
shadows in the crease. Different shades of bronze are also very beautiful. It
becomes truly radiant when you use a shimmery eyeshadow. Eyeshadow in nautical
tones looks great, especially on hot summer days. These colors work especially
well with brown or gray eyes. With a mask in tones, it all grabs attention.

Important: Thorough removal
of makeup.
Our breath collects under the mask and moisture collects.
Pimples, redness and inflammation appear easily. Therefore, it is important to
give your skin sufficient rest after weaning and cleanse it thoroughly. It is
best to remove eye makeup with a cotton swab moistened with water or makeup
remover. Micellar water is also good; if you have oily skin, use a washing gel.
If the skin is very dry and sensitive, a cleansing milk is helpful.
After the eyes have been removed, it's time to cleanse your
face. It is best to use a suitable face toner or micellar water. With a
cleaning brush, you can get rid of makeup residues in your pores. But a
washcloth or sponge is also sufficient.
Don't forget to clean
your mask!
Of course, regular mouth cleaning and nose protection are
also taken for granted. Daily washing is recommended, especially if make-up
remains on the inside.
