Before and after photos of makeup after wearing the mask after running outdoors at 36 ° C + B&A for usual makeup after a 9-5.
Day 1: Photo 1 & 2
Makeup before and after running errands in 36deg C heat + high humidity. We have to wear both face mask and face shields when outdoors. Lots of walking under harsh sunlight so I end up sweating a lot.
Makeup usually rubs off at the cheeks where the face mask elastic is. I’ll have two obvious clean lines on my cheeks and blush and bronzer stains on the elastics. Foundation stains on the nose clip part of the mask as well where it touches my nose and cheeks but very minimal transfer and makeup looks pretty much undisturbed in those areas. Some lipstick transfer on the inside of the mask but no smudging on face.
BASE:
* Tatcha Silk Canvas Primer
* Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Light Beige (I don’t put liquid foundation on tzone)
* Benefit Bo~ing Industrial Strength Concealer 02 (I use this as an under eye corrector cause it’s peachy pink on me)
* Essence Camouflage concealer Light Honey (as under eye concealer and spot concealer)
* Pat McGrath under eye powder Light
* Sephora matte perfection powder foundation Ivory (t-zone)
* Too faced Born this way setting powder (rest of face)
* NARS Laguna bronzer
* Zoeva Demeter Blush
* NARS Gold Leash highlighter
* Sephora Cream Lip Stain 80 Honeymoon (set with translucent powder)
Eyes:
* NARS Tinted Smudge proof eyeshadow base Medium
* ABH New Wave & Edge, PMG Saturnalia & Antique Gold, Natasha Denona Blossom
* KPalette Real Lasting Eyeliner black
* Benefit Roller Lash
* Benefit Goof Proof pencil 5
Day 2:
Makeup before and after my 9-5 office job. Not sweaty for this one but we wear masks the whole time except when eating (ofc). Face shield needed outdoors and when entering buildings but can be removed in the office.
Same as before, the makeup rubs off on the elastic but not as much and not as obvious since there’s no sweat which increases makeup transfer. Less make up transfer on other areas as well. My usual issue is lipstick smudging since I can miss patting down oils after eating. Only touched up with powder around the mouth and reapplied lipstick after lunch
BASE:
* Becca Ever Matte Primer (nose, middle of forehead)
* Hourglass Veil Primer (cheeks, jaw)
* Bourjois Healthy Mix Serum Light Beige (none on tzone)
* Too Faced Shadow insurance (as underage primer)
* Benefit Bo~ing Industrial Strength Concealer 02 (as an under eye corrector)
* Essence Camouflage concealer Light Honey (as under eye concealer and spot concealer)
* Pat McGrath under eye powder Light
* Sephora matte perfection powder foundation Ivory (t-zone)
* Too faced Born this way setting powder (rest of face)
* Marc Jacobs Tantric Bronzer
* NARS Dream Place Blush
* NARS Gold Leash highlighter
* NARS Powermatte Lip Pigment Slow Ride
Eyes:
* NARS Tinted Smudge proof eyeshadow base Medium
* Viseart Apricot Nude & Nude Caramel, PMG Major Mahogany, Gold Lust & Astral Pink Moon
* KPalette Real Lasting Eyeliner black
* NARS Climax
* Benefit Foolproof powder 05
Takeaway:
* KF94 masks and those with similar shape smudged lipstick the least (if you have low nose bridge like me, this is the easiest one to breathe out of as well)
* Setting spray will add longevity to the upper half of your face but won’t do much to the other half since the issue is the mask rubbing onto the skin. Setting spray can’t really prevent the result of friction.
* Matte liquid lipsticks are the most smudge proof, you can set it with powder for extra protection. Lip stains are also good but I wipe it off my lips before putting on the mask so it’s just the stain that’s left in case all of it isn’t absorbed.
* I stopped using liquid foundation on nose cause there’s no point and it will just transfer to the mask and also my glasses.
* People tend to question why we still wear makeup under these circumstances, I get why they would ask and I find that the most polite response is “they’ll expire whether I use them or not so might as well just use them”
you’re so pretty!
Damn! That’s some really nice make up! Held up surprisingly well! How much did it stain the inside of your mask?
