How do you make makeup stay on better?

Everyone knows the feeling: you've just spent an hour creating a beautiful look, and after a few drinks or an hour of dancing, it's all faded. It doesn't have to be that way! With these tips, your makeup will last much longer:

• Clean skin – Always start with a fresh face. Wash your skin with water and a mild cleanser to remove dirt and oil. Makeup doesn't adhere well to oily skin.
• Primer or day cream – A primer is ideal for helping makeup adhere better and last longer. No primer? A thin layer of day cream works just as well.
• Thin layers – Apply makeup in several thin layers rather than one thick layer. This prevents smudging and chipping.
• Setting – Afterward, you can set the makeup with translucent powder or a special setting spray . This will ensure it stays put all night, even during a busy party.

How to Make Your Face White for Halloween

A Halloween classic is a stark white face—perfect for skeleton, ghost, or zombie looks. Here's how to do it:

1. Use the right base – Choose water-based white makeup or cream makeup. These are specially formulated to evenly whiten the skin.
2. Apply evenly – Use a sponge instead of a brush. Gently pat the makeup onto your face for a smooth, white base without streaks.
3. Work in layers – One thin layer often doesn't provide enough coverage. Repeat by dabbing until you achieve an even white look.
4. Detail work – Want extra contrast? Use black accents around your eyes and mouth for a creepy effect.

For the perfect base, you'll find everything in our Halloween make-up collection .

What do you put under makeup?

A common question is: should you apply something under makeup? The answer is: yes, absolutely! This not only helps the makeup adhere better but also protects your skin.

• Day cream – Always apply a thin layer of moisturizer before you begin. This prevents your skin from drying out.
• Primer – For an extra-long lasting effect, use a primer. This is handy if you know you're going to be partying all night long.
• Avoid heavy creams – Thick, greasy creams can make makeup look shiny or smudge more quickly.

Extra tip: Want to create a look with lots of glitter? Use a special glitter gel or skin glue to ensure everything stays put. Discover our glitter face paint for extra sparkle.

The answer is simple: a thin layer of cream or primer . This gives your skin a protective layer and prevents makeup from seeping into the pores. This is especially important for children, as their skin is more sensitive.

Always use a neutral, fragrance-free cream for children. This prevents irritation and ensures the makeup stays comfortable. We have special children's makeup for little ones, which is gentle on the skin and easy to wash off.

Tips for removing makeup

• Water-based makeup – This often comes off easily with warm water and a little soap.
• Cream makeup – Use a gentle makeup remover or baby wipes to loosen the makeup thoroughly.
• Hydrate – Finish with a nourishing cream so your skin can recover.
