How Do You Wear Makeup With a Mask?

Published in Makeup Application 1 min read

The key to wearing makeup with a mask is to apply it early and allow it to set properly before putting the mask on.

Here's a breakdown of the strategy:

  • Apply Makeup Early: Allow ample time for your makeup to be absorbed by your skin. This "baking" process helps the products set better and reduces transfer onto the mask. The reference suggests that skin absorbs a significant amount of applied substances, so using this to your advantage is key.

  • Focus on the Eyes: Since masks cover the lower portion of your face, emphasize your eye makeup. Experiment with eyeshadow, eyeliner, and mascara to create a striking look.

  • Consider a Setting Spray: A good setting spray can significantly prolong the wear of your makeup and minimize transfer.

  • Use Lightweight and Long-Wearing Products: Opt for lightweight foundations, concealers, and blushes that are formulated to last longer. Avoid heavy or oily products that are more likely to smudge.

  • Blotting Paper is Your Friend: Keep blotting paper on hand to remove excess oil throughout the day, preventing makeup from smearing.
