Whether you’re a bride walking down the aisle or attending a glamorous party, there’s one thing you absolutely need – makeup that stays flawless from start to finish. At Sovi Makeover, we understand that long-lasting makeup is not just about the products you use but also about proper preparation, application techniques, and finishing touches.

If you want your makeup to stay fresh, smudge-free, and picture-perfect all day, here are pro artist secrets you can follow.

1. Start with Clean, Hydrated Skin

Long-lasting makeup starts with healthy skin.

  • Cleanse your face to remove oil and dirt.
  • Apply a lightweight moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
  • Avoid heavy creams before makeup to prevent product sliding.

At Sovi Makeover, our artists ensure your skin is perfectly prepped before any makeup application.

2. Use a Primer That Suits Your Skin Type

Primer is the key to a smooth and long-wearing base.

  • For oily skin: Use a mattifying primer to control shine.
  • For dry skin: Choose a hydrating primer for a fresh look.
  • For large pores: Go for a pore-minimizing primer to create an even surface.

3. Choose Long-Wear Foundation and Concealer

Invest in a high-quality, long-lasting foundation that matches your skin tone.

  • Apply thin layers instead of heavy coats for better staying power.
  • Blend well with a beauty sponge or brush for a natural finish.

Sovi Makeover Tip: We use waterproof, high-definition products to ensure your makeup survives heat, humidity, and long hours.

4. Set Your Base with Powder

Setting powder is essential for locking foundation in place.

  • Use a translucent setting powder for a smooth finish.
  • Apply extra powder to areas prone to oiliness, like the T-zone.

5. Layer and Set Eye Makeup

Eye makeup tends to fade faster, so layering is important.

  • Use an eyeshadow primer before applying shadows.
  • Layer cream and powder products for intensity.
  • Choose waterproof eyeliner and mascara for smudge-proof results.

6. Long-Lasting Lip Color

  • Exfoliate your lips before applying lipstick.
  • Use a lip liner to outline and fill in your lips.
  • Apply lipstick, blot with tissue, then reapply for longer wear.
  • For extra staying power, set with a tiny dab of translucent powder.

7. Use Setting Spray to Lock It All In

A professional setting spray is the final step to seal your makeup.

  • Choose a spray that matches your skin type and event needs.
  • Mist evenly across your face to keep makeup in place for hours.

8. Avoid Touching Your Face

Constantly touching your face can transfer oils and ruin your makeup. Carry a small compact powder or blotting paper for quick touch-ups instead.
