5 MAGIC TIPS to prevent makeup transfer

Darlings, there are many ways to prevent your eyeshadow, eyeliner, mascara, lipstick or foundation from transferring to different parts of your face and clothes as the day goes on. Here are my 5 MAGIC tips to stop makeup transfer…

MAGIC TIP 1

Make sure your face is clean and hydrated! For a successful makeup application that stays in place, you should always start with a clean and hydrated canvas! Follow my guide to the correct order of skincare products for your routine for MAGIC skin that’s moisturised, primed and prepped for your makeup!

MAGIC TIP 2

Always use a primer! At the end of your research-powered skincare ritual, before you apply your makeup, always use a primer to create a smooth-looking base that keeps your product in place! Wonderglow is a soft-focus glow primer for radiant results, while my Invisible UV Flawless Poreless Primer is a poreless primer and sunscreen in one!

MAGIC TIP 3

Apply your makeup in the correct order! Applying your makeup in the correct order is essential for the best beauty results. When your products are applied and layered correctly, they’re much more likely to stay in place for FLAWLESS beauty all day long!

MAGIC TIP 4

Apply your makeup in small amounts! When it comes to application, apply your makeup in small amounts and build and blend your look from there! Fortunately, my ICONIC makeup products have buildable and blendable formulas for easier application and long-lasting results!

MAGIC TIP 5

Always use a setting spray! And now for the MAGIC! Once you’ve finished your makeup application, apply a few spritzes of my Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray from 6 to 8 inches away to LOCK IN your look for up to 16 hours!
