Long-Lasting Foundation Routine for Oily Skin
‘Bye, shine. You can forget slick skin before midday with *this* mattifying foundation routine for oily skin.
Step 1: First, glide Lasting Matte Primer all over clean skin using fingertips or a foundation brush. Its lightweight, oil-absorbing formula creates a silky canvas and keeps skin fresh for up to nine hours. Make sure to let primer fully absorb into skin before applying your long-lasting foundation to really reap the benefits.
Step 2: Next up, your perfect formula. Lasting Matte Foundation will make sure your t-zone behaves for up to 12 hours by absorbing oily shine. Use a sponge to tap the mattifying formula all over skin, leaving a sheer, velvet-textured finish. For fuller coverage, use a flat foundation brush to glide on the formula, building over blemishes or dark circles where needed.
Step 3: The finishing touch: Stay Matte Pressed Powder. Swirl a fluffy powder brush into the compact and dust over the t-zone and cheeks to set makeup with a long-lasting finish.
Long-Lasting Foundation Routine for Dry Skin
Calling all dry skin types: if you dream of dewy, glowy skin, look no further for the perfect foundation for dry skin.
Step 1: Before starting your long-lasting foundation routine, massage your favourite moisturiser onto the face and neck, allowing it to sink in for a few minutes to smooth any dry patches. Once fully absorbed, mist Insta Fix & Go Setting Spray all over, featuring glycerine and cucumber to rehydrate the skin and leave a dewy finish.
Step 2: Ready to lock in moisture? You’ll need Lasting Finish 25 Hour Foundation, a super-hydrating base infused with hyaluronic acid. To avoid irritating dry patches of skin, use a damp makeup sponge and lightly tap the silky foundation all over, starting from the centre of the face and blending outwards.
Step 3: Time to fix your long-lasting foundation. Add a sweep of Lasting Radiance Powder, then give skin a final spritz of Insta Fix & Go Setting Spray set your look in place.
Long-Lasting Foundation Routine for Combination Skin
If your skin feels dry, oily and tight all at once, don’t stress. We’ve got your ticket to flawless skin in a few steps.
Step 1: Try multi-priming your face by creating a bespoke primer. To up the glow factor on your face while mattifying the t-zone, glide onto cheeks, while blending Lasting Matte Primer on the forehead, nose and chin.
Step 2: Now you’ve created a fresh, even base, build coverage with a lightweight, blurring, long-lasting foundation. Match Perfection Foundation contains a soft-focus, moisture-locking formula that works for every skin type. Use a flat foundation brush for fuller coverage or a fluffy-bristled brush for a soft, airbrushed finish. Build foundation where needed to cover blemishes or imperfections.
Step 3: Lock it all in for the most long-lasting finish with a silky loose powder. Match Perfection Loose Powder is finely-milled and feels ultra-light on skin. Add a small amount to the pot lid, then swirl in a powder brush. Tap off the excess and very lightly dust over t-zones first, then blend onto cheeks. Flawless.
