In addition, using a daily cream with sun protection factor is also an excellent option, as it not only keeps your skin hydrated, but also protects it from the sun's rays.
3. Apply a primer on the face
Before starting makeup, you should always apply a specific product called a primer, a product that should be applied as a cream and that will help the makeup to fix better and last longer.
The primer must be chosen according to the effect you need, whether it is for pores or for greasiness for example and, in cases of mixed skin, you must apply the primer especially in the areas of the face that have more oil, such as forehead, nose, chin or eyes, for example.
4. Use the Baking contour technique
For the makeup to have a perfect finish, without folds, open pores or accumulations of product in fine lines, you must use a contouring technique called Baking, which consists of leaving the powder loose on the makeup. In addition to helping makeup last longer, this technique can also be used to help refine and brighten your face, leaving your cheeks more defined and giving your makeup a natural look.
To do this technique, you should apply a concealer, liquid or cream, in the region below the eyes and on it you should apply a very generous amount of compact powder using a brush or sponge, leaving it to act for about 5 to 10 minutes. After that time, remove the excess powder with the help of a brush or sponge with a rounded tip and continue the rest of the makeup.
This technique should be done after applying the cream and the primer, and can also be used in other regions of the face, such as forehead, nose and chin, for example, to help makeup to fix better in areas that are usually oily. In addition, it can also be used on the eyelids of the eyes to help the eyeshadow look better and last longer.
5. Finish the makeup with a fixing spray
