Tips To Keep Your Make Up Looking On Point!

A Brides Big Day can start at the crack of dawn with beautification and then you’re partying till well after midnight. Regardless of time of day a listbeauty wants your make up looking on point!

Steps that  help keep your make up looking on point  all day and night.

1. Exfoliate

I have learned over the years that how well your skin is prepped can make or break a makeup application. For a fresh, flawless,smooth complexion start exfoliating once or twice a week a few months leading up to your wedding.

Kate’s unique blend of antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant ingredients work overtime to reduce the appearance of existing blemishes and prevent new pimples from forming. Formulated with salicylic acid and active tea tree oil, this product gently exfoliates and promotes cell turnover without over drying or causing irritation.

2. Use Moisturizer, Always

Skin prep is the key to a flawless make up application. Be diligent using moisturizer paying special attention the days before your wedding . Keeping your face hydrated ensures a smooth application and your make up will stay in place all day .

Crème Ancienne Soft Cream is proven to visibly reduce the signs of aging while providing 24-hour moisture. This innovative formula delivers supreme hydration for plump, supple, resilient, silky, radiant skin with a dewy finish.

3. Use a Good Primer

The alistbeauty Team are strong believers in the magical power of using the right primer. We spend a lot of time researching and sourcing out the best Primers for every skin type. Primer will help your skin feel smoother your foundation to apply evenly and stay in place.

Ambient® Light Correcting Primer is infused with light correcting pigments that act as a first filter to neutralize, brighten, and soften light. They blurs imperfections and smooth skin’s texture for flawless makeup application. If you have excessively oily skin we have the appropriate oil control primer products to help maintain your flawless finish.

4. Eye Make Up First

My Mentor and alistbeauty team leader Al Fortier taught me this trick years ago!Some find it odd when during an application I go straight to do their eye make up 1st, But it makes sense! If foundation is done then eyes, the artist is often touching the face while applying the eye shadow leaving foundation less than perfect .

5. High Endurance Make Up

It takes a lot of research to source out the cosmetics and application tips to ensure a long lasting make up. The alistbeauty team has years of experience sourcing the best waterproof mascaras (there will, without a doubt, be tears).

Better Than Sex Waterproof mascara has a collagen-fueled formula with added high-performance and water-resistant polymers for waterproof, sweat-proof, play-proof wear. We have tricks for long-lasting lip colours so you won’t have to spend your time touching up our work.

6. Applying concealer after foundation

Alistbeauty takes great pride in the detail of our work. Brightening shadows and covering blemishes to create a seamless and flawless application is the cornerstones of an A List application. Applying concealor before foundation causes the intricate work to be wiped away by the foundation brush.  Concealer after foundation gives a pristine and enduring application

7. In some instances Less is More in some More is More

The alistbeauty professional always begins with a lighter application and consults with you throughout the experience. Doing this allows us to add to the make up ( darker eye shadow, brighter lips) Until we meet your greatest expectations. It is much easier to add colour than to subtract.

8. Seal the Deal

After the make up application has met and surpassed all your hopes and expectations we applying a finishing powder or sealing spray to ensure staying power. This groundbreaking, clinically tested formula is suitable for all skin types and features patented Temperature Control Technology. It actually lowers the temperature of your makeup to keep foundation, eyeshadow, blush , and concealer in place—even in hot and humid or cold and windy conditions. The result? Smoother-looking skin and vibrant makeup that lasts all day (or night) without melting, cracking, fading, or settling into fine lines.

9. Blot the Oil Away

Avoid touching your face too much or excessive powder application to control oil. Our professionals will take the time and use the Appropriate products to help control shine. Excessive powder application can dull the skin and look cakey . If you feel your is becoming oily use a blotting sheet to lightly remove any oily spots on your face. These soothing blotting sheets are made from 100 percent natural Abaca Tree fiber to absorb excess oil and reduce shine without disturbing makeup. Infused with black bamboo charcoal to actively purify pores, they keep skin clear, refreshed, and refined.

10. Enjoy Yourself

One thing years of experience has taught me is make up always glows when the face behind it is smiling and radiant. Alistbeauty is a group of professionals that get the job done right but it is also important to us that we provide for you a warm, comforting, worry free atmosphere and an enjoyable experience.
