Game-Day Glam that Lasts: 3 Long-Lasting Makeup Looks
Game day is here, and your makeup better be ready! As a Senior Formulation Scientist at Auraveda Lifescience LLP, I’m excited to share my expertise on creating game-day glamour that withstands the heat, sweat, and excitement of the big event.
Unlike everyday makeup, game-day makeup needs to be extra durable, smudge-proof, and long-lasting. That’s why I’ve developed three fast, repeatable looks that work for games, tailgates, and watch parties.
Look 1: Team-Color Eyeliner
This look is all about making a statement with a bold team-color eyeliner. To ensure it stays in place all game long, I use a waterproof eyeliner and apply it with a precision brush. The key to this look is to press and seal the eyeliner with a setting spray to prevent smudging and fading.
I recommend using a gel-based eyeliner like e.l.f.’s Power Grip Primer to create a smooth, even line. This primer not only helps the eyeliner stay in place but also hydrates the skin, reducing the risk of smudging.
Look 2: Heat-Proof Base Routine
For this look, I focus on creating a heat-proof base routine that prevents breakdown and transfer. I start with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that won’t clog pores or interfere with makeup. Next, I apply a heat-proof primer that helps the makeup stay in place even in extreme temperatures.
To seal the deal, I use a setting spray that contains exosomes, which help repair the skin’s barrier function and reduce inflammation. This is especially important on game day when the skin is exposed to harsh conditions and allergens.
Look 3: Press-and-Seal Techniques
For this look, I combine press-and-seal techniques to keep makeup locked in for hours. I start by applying a lightweight foundation that won’t clog pores or interfere with makeup. Next, I use a setting spray to set the foundation and prevent transfer.
To add extra staying power, I use a setting powder that contains microbeads that help absorb excess oil and reduce shine. This look is perfect for hot, humid game days when you need makeup that lasts all day.
Game day is the perfect opportunity to push your makeup skills to the next level. With these three long-lasting makeup looks, you’ll be ready to take on the action, excitement, and stress of the big event. Remember to choose products that are designed to withstand heat, sweat, and movement, and don’t be afraid to get creative with your looks.
