You know we are big into beauty products<\/a> and vegan skincare<\/a> here at Honeycombers, and this summer is like no other! Now that we\u2019re all wearing masks wherever we go, our makeup can sometimes look the worse for wear. But all your work need not be lost. Here are 5 makeup tips for face masks, so that you\u2019ll still look on point at your meeting, soiree, or play date.<\/p>\n

1. Look flawless with minimal products<\/h3>\n

First off, we want you to know that you look fabulous, and it’s one hundred per cent okay for you to go makeup free<\/a> (as many of us at Honeycombers do on the regular.) That being said, there are times when you want to kill it in the boardroom or dazzle on a first date, and we’re here for you looking and feeling your absolute best. Minimal products could be just what your need to fix any areas you’re unhappy with without weighing your skin down with too much product.<\/p>\n

Once you get the hang of it, colour correctors are one of the best investments you can make for your makeup bag<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A lot of us are stuck in this dilemma \u2014 we want to avoid that cakey look, but we also want to perfectly conceal the dark circles. Try using colour correctors. Remember the colour wheel that we learnt in elementary school? It’s basically the same theory: we use complementary colours to neutralise the tone of our flaws, making them less visible. For instance, green correctors reduce redness, lavender correctors brighten up yellow skin, and peach or orange correctors cancel dark circles.<\/p>\n

Colour correctors help even out our skin with minimal products, especially when the flaws are so evident that they cannot be covered with beige concealers. It might be hard to grasp the technique at first, but practice makes perfect for sure! The All-in-One Color Correcting Palette from Stila<\/a> ($350HKD) has detailed instructions at the back that you can refer to. Bonus: this palette includes finishing powder that helps save some space in your bag.<\/p>\n

2. Set your foundation<\/h3>\n

Use a finishing powder for your foundation<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

We can\u2019t stress enough the importance of finishing powder, the easiest way to set your makeup. Simply apply a layer of finishing powder on top of the foundation and sweep away the excess powder after 3-5 minutes (depending on your skin condition). This step helps to \u201clock\u201d the makeup on your face by absorbing the extra grease.<\/p>\n

Another tool that comes in handy here is setting spray. Try the sandwich method: put on setting spray and finishing powder as the base, and repeat the same process after applying foundation. This method may sound tedious, but trust me, it absolutely works. The Ultra HD Pressed Powder from Make Up For Ever<\/a> ($310HKD) goes well with the All Nighter Long-lasting Makeup Setting Spray from Urban Decay<\/a> ($280HKD).<\/p>\n

3. Avoid that oily look<\/h3>\n
