Ever since face masks arrived to the picture, we’ve seen a surge in multiple makeup looks flaunted by artists, celebrities and influencers. Everyone’s tried to locate a way to make sure they don’t forget about looking fabulous while staying safe simultaneously. Also, wearing a mask with make-up is no easy feat. It really is hot under there, as well as your face is 60% almost hidden. That said, there are a few ideas to bear in mind in terms of wearing cosmetic under a mask, and as usual, we’re here to help you out!

So, grab your makeup essentials and let’s get onto listing down the products that help you flaunt a mask-friendly makeup look, which even Kylie Jenner may be envious of.

Prime-Time
A cosmetic junkie? Then we definitely don’t need to tell you why applying a primer is important. If you aren’t one, a primer is the foremost way to ensure your make-up lasts longer and in addition helps create a smooth base for other make-up products aka your foundation, concealer and the sorts. Presently, you can choose primers infused with skin-nourishing ingredients, which supply the perfect mix of makeup and skincare.

Actually, it is all About the Base!
Megan Trainor might’ve been implying something when she released her new single. Unless you’re wearing a disposal mask, deciding on heavy foundations can bring about stains, and render your mask a waste. Moreover, as your face will be covered with foundation all through the day, decide on a lightweight, skin-loving formula which will show your skin layer some TLC as well as act as an ideal base. We suggest going for a smudge-proof, long-wear foundation that dries down quickly and will be offering a medium-full coverage matte finish.

Conceal Don't Reveal
Another product you shouldn’t miss? Concealer! When you don’t have to use it as if you usually do since practically half of your face is covered, you can put it to use to hide scars ( if any) around your under-eye area or forehead since those will be the only parts of your face most likely to be observed. Again, decide on a matte finish, transfer-proof, smudge-proof concealer that ensures a long-lasting wear.

You’ve Been Eyeing because of this..
While some of us tend to go Lady Gaga with this eye makeup only during a grand occasion or party, the pandemic has left us no choice. Since our eyes are automatically the center of attention when we wear a mask, it is time to go all out together with your eye makeup. And yes, we mean bold, edgy and loud! Gravitate towards bright eyeshadow shades with shimmer textures while still staying close enough to your skin tone. Edge it up with some lash lengthening mascara and wild eyeliner styles. You could also want to condition and fill your eyebrows too since eyebrow cosmetic can make all the difference.

Lip Lock
Lipsticks do really suffer in terms of flaunting mask makeup since it is among the last things in your thoughts. But if you might end up removing your mask at some time during the day, you’ve surely got to prepare yourself. A classic, matte smudge-proof formula is ideal as you won’t need to worry about it transferring on your mask.

Set it up!
A fool-proof way to make sure your cosmetic masterpiece doesn’t smudge or fade because of your face mask is by using a setting spray!

And there you have it - a quick mask-friendly cosmetic lineup that’ll assist you to achieve a stunning look effortlessly while keeping yourself and others safe.
