How To Apply Your Makeup If You’ll Be Wearing A Face Mask 

More women are choosing to pare down their beauty routines, as working or studying from home has become the norm these days, and wearing makeup almost seems unnecessary since we’re covering our faces with masks whenever we head outdoors. However, for the occasional errand or meet up with a friend, most women will still choose to wear makeup as a confidence booster and as a way to look put together. Some people think that wearing makeup under a mask can lead to a big, smudgy mess, but with the right products and application techniques, you’ll limit the transfer of product to your mask and look fresh the whole day. Here’s how to apply your makeup if you’ll be wearing a face mask. 

Rosy makeup look 

The rosy makeup look is one of the simplest ways to look effortlessly healthy and glowing, and it is one public personalities like Rachel Tee Tyler are swearing by this year. Best of all, it will take less than 10 minutes to achieve this look. First, start by applying a primer, then use a mineral powder foundation to even out your skin tone. Next, brush on a brow mascara to tame brows, and apply a lengthening mascara to eyelashes. Finally, use a cheek and lip tint on your lips and cheeks for a rosy glow. This hot weather beauty staple is your best bet for transfer-proof color, and it’ll stay nice and vivid even on sweltering days.  

Defined eyes 

Since wearing a mask makes your eyes the focal point of your face, consider using eyeliner to make your eyes stand out even more. Use a black waterproof eyeliner pen with a brush tip to line your upper lash line; then flick it slightly upwards at the outer corners. Keep the line thin and as close to the lash line as possible. Next, take a bronze eyeliner pencil and line your lower lash line with it. You can also use a shimmery purple, navy, or deep green liner around the eyes if you prefer to use colored liner. Eyeliner looks good on its own, but if you want to make your eyes really pop, try using shimmery or metallic eyeshadow on the crease, and highlight the inner corners of your eyes to reflect light.  

Make your makeup last 

To keep your makeup in place, use a makeup setting spray after makeup application, and let it dry naturally. You may also want to avoid wearing an overly tight mask, as it can rub on your skin and cause makeup to transfer. For touch ups, carry some powder to take away shine, plus a tinted lip balm, since wearing a mask can make your lips dry and chapped. 

Adjust your beauty routine to accommodate wearing a mask. Try these tips to look great even while wearing a face mask, and feel confident every time you head outdoors.
