The All Nighter

When you’re spending the night out with your friends it’s important to make sure your makeup lasts all evening. There’s nothing worse than your make-up coming off halfway through the evening and it becoming a mess. There are a few tips and tricks to help your make-up last that little bit longer so you are ready for anything.

Starting with a great primer gives you a long lasting base. It smooths out your skin and covers any imperfections, lumps and bumps. Using a primer helps your foundation out a little bit, it applies better as well as making your makeup last longer giving it a party proof base for all make-up.

Using a long lasting foundation can help too, it can be heavier and have a thicker consistency but many brands such as Maybelline have 24Hour foundations that will stay all day and throughout the evening without the need to reapply.

A setting spray can be sprayed on after applying all your make-up; it can be seen as a hairspray but for your face. The weightless spray gives your makeup the ultimate staying power.

Blotting sheets should be a staple in everyone’s make-up bags; these little sheets soak up any oil and sweat that you may get on a night out, or during the day. You just take a sheet, blot it onto areas of face where you get oil, this may be on your forehead or around your nose.  You’ll always be able to correct your makeup, without smudging it and reapplying.
