Tired of constant touch-ups? We give you some ways to make your foundation stay on all day and enjoy a flawless complexion.
1. Go for long-lasting foundations
One of the most obvious ways to make your foundation stay for a long time is to try your hand at some waterproof or long-lasting foundations that are easily available in the market.
2. Keep your skin oil-free
If you have an oil-free skin, then this will prevent the foundation from sliding off. If you do have oily skin, then you can go for a matte, oil-control moisturizer. It would also help if you keep blotting paper handy so as to take care of excess oil.
