Wearing sunglasses can be a great way to add a stylish touch to your outfit, but it can also be a nightmare for your makeup. The frames of your sunglasses can leave unsightly marks and smudges on your skin, ruining your perfectly applied foundation and concealer. However, there are ways to prevent this from happening.
The key to preventing sunglasses marks is to prepare your skin before applying your makeup. This includes using a primer to create a smooth canvas for your makeup, and setting your makeup with a setting spray to prevent it from smudging or running.
Choosing the right primer
When it comes to choosing a primer, there are many options available. Some primers are designed to reduce the appearance of pores while others are designed to hydrate the skin. For preventing sunglasses marks, a silicone-based primer is a good option. These primers create a barrier between the skin and the makeup preventing the makeup from coming into contact with the frames of the sunglasses.
Setting your makeup
Once you have applied your makeup, it’s essential to set it with a setting spray. This will help to prevent the makeup from smudging or running and will keep it in place all day. There are many different types of setting sprays available, including matte and dewy finishes.
Targeted setting sprays
For extra protection against sunglasses marks, you can use a targeted setting spray on the areas of your face that are most prone to smudging. These sprays are designed to be applied directly to the skin, and can be used to set the makeup in place and prevent it from smudging.
Midday touch-ups
Even with the right primer and setting spray, it’s still possible for sunglasses marks to occur. To prevent this, you can do a midday touch-up to refresh your makeup and prevent it from smudging. This can be as simple as applying a little extra powder to the areas of your face that are most prone to oiliness, or using a blotting paper to absorb any excess oil.
