Keeping your makeup fresh while wearing a face mask is seriously *challenging* (LOL), especially when you have to commute these days. But don't lose hope! Ahead, we listed down the best tips you must try to prevent your MOTD from melting off and transferring onto your face mask:
First things first: Don't forget to prime your skin.
Using a primer is an ~extra~ step that's definitely worth it. Primers act like a glue that will keep your base from moving around or disappearing. Plus, it helps you create a smooth canvas for your makeup, too!

Layer a cream blush underneath a powder formula.
You guys, the secret to a long-lasting flush is *layering*. Set your cream or gel blush with a powder blush. Powders help absorb oil and sweat so doing this will keep your makeup from sliding off.

Keep your kilay in place with a brow gel.
Before or after filling in your brows, brush through them with some gel to set them in place all day.

Go for liquid lipsticks.
Liquid formulas are your best bet if you're looking for mask-proof lippies. (P.S. You can also line your lips before applying your liquid lipstick so that even if it fades, there would still be color on your pout.)

Finally, lock everything in with a loose powder.
If you have oily skin, focus on applying powder to areas where you tend to get greasy like the forehead, chin, and corners of the nose.
