Though it has been raining these few days, the oncoming heat that makes Chinese New Year what it is, is dawning upon us. Which is bad news for us folks who woke up early just to doll up for the occasion, our efforts would just melt off from the heat and that’ll not do! Not when we’re also dressed to the reds and our nails are looking perfect!
Here are 5 Chinese New Year makeup tips to keep your makeup looking good all day from those numerous house visits to late night chat sessions with your loved ones!
1.Prepare your skin before applying any makeup
Cleanse, exfoliate and slap on some moisturizer or a mask pack to keep your skin hydrated and smooth. That way, your foundation goes on smoothly and adheres better to your skin. We heard that Fan Bing Bing always uses a sheet mask whenever the camera is not rolling, maybe that’s her secret to flawless skin?
This makeup look on Fan Bing Bing is simple and will look great with any outfits. Line your inner waterline, use a matte brown shadow on the lid and under your eyes, apply a light touch of bronzer and finish it off with a red lipstick.
2.Stick to the lighter makeup
Instead of going for the heavy foundation, try lighter options such as tinted moisturizers, BB and CC creams or cushions to lessen the tendency for the foundation to settle into the lines on your face and look cakey at the end of the day. You can spot-correct with a concealer to just cover the areas that need extra coverage.
3.Primers and powders are a necessity
Face and eye primers not only provides a smooth canvas for your makeup but it also protects your skin and makes your makeup last longer. Another thing to take note is cream products. Setting cream products with powder will prevent it from smudging and fading. A light dusting of loose powder all over your face will seal the makeup in.
4.Don’t miss those extra steps before and after applying your lipstick

Spritz some all over when you’re done with your makeup to completely set it and you can spray some to freshen up your look throughout the day!
