Know the causes of makeup loss

Summer-specific problems due to increased sweat and sebum secretion

In summer, sweat and sebum secretion become more active. In particular, the T-zone and around the nose are areas where a lot of sebum is secreted, so makeup is prone to coming off. When this sebum mixes with foundation or primer, it causes makeup to crease and become more noticeable. Have you ever had the experience of putting on a good makeup in the morning, only to have it come off by the afternoon?

Tip : By choosing products that can control sebum, you can significantly prevent your makeup from coming off in the summer.

Makeup creasing and crumbling due to humidity

Japan has a very humid summer. This humidity can affect your skin, causing your makeup to float or crease. On humid days in particular, moisture tends to accumulate on the surface of your skin, making it difficult for your foundation to adhere to your skin. To prevent your makeup from coming off due to humidity, it is important to choose base makeup items that adhere well to your skin.

Research results : "After 8 hours, although shine was a little noticeable, the makeup finish was mostly maintained." By being mindful of humidity, you can minimize makeup breakdown.

Basic steps for a long-lasting base makeup

Treat your skin with the right skin care

Skin care is the key to making your base makeup last longer. By preparing your skin with morning skin care, your makeup will adhere better and stay on your skin more resistant to smudging. In particular, be mindful of the following points in the summer:

  • Moisturize : Dry skin can cause your skin to overproduce oil, so a lightweight, gel-based moisturizer can help keep your skin hydrated without feeling oily.

  • Remove excess oil : At the end of your skincare routine, gently press your face with tissue to remove excess oil.

Tip : A morning skincare routine that combines moisturizing and sebum control will help your makeup last longer in the summer.

How to choose and use a makeup base

A makeup base is an important step in creating a foundation for your makeup. If you want to wear makeup that won't come off in the summer, keep the following points in mind.

  1. Choose the right foundation for your skin type

    • If you have oily skin, we recommend a matte type that has sebum control effects.

    • If you have dry skin, choose a foundation that is highly moisturizing.

  2. Apply a thin, even layer. If you apply the foundation too thickly, it will easily come off. Take a small amount in your hand and spread it thinly over your entire face.

  3. Focus on the T-zone . It is effective to apply a little more primer to the T-zone, which is particularly prone to makeup breakdown.

Recommendation : The Funny Elves primer has the perfect balance of sebum control and moisturizing properties, making it the perfect summer product.

Tips for summer base makeup that won't come off, depending on your skin type

Base makeup for oily skin

How to choose a foundation that is excellent for controlling sebum

If you have oily skin, a foundation with strong sebum control effects is essential. In particular, if you choose a foundation that contains sebum-absorbing powder, you can create skin that is less likely to break down while suppressing shine. By applying it mainly to the T-zone and around the nose before applying makeup in the morning, you can effectively suppress sebum secretion.

Tip : The Funny Elves primer has excellent sebum control and adheres well to the skin, and can handle the humidity of summer.

Using a matte finish foundation

For oily skin, a foundation with a matte finish is ideal. Its light texture absorbs sebum and keeps your skin looking smooth for a long time. The Longwear Soft Matte Foundation in particular contains sebum-suppressing ingredients and oil-absorbing microparticles, preventing shine all day long.

Tip : Apply foundation thinly and evenly to achieve a more natural finish.

Base makeup for combination skin

Use different items for each section

If you have combination skin, we recommend using different products for different parts of your face. For example, you can use a foundation with sebum control effects on the T-zone and a highly moisturizing foundation on your cheeks, which tend to dry out, to create a balanced look.

Tip : Don't try to cover your entire face with one product, but choose the right product for each part to achieve a more lasting finish.

Measures for the T-zone that are prone to breakouts

The T-zone is an area where sebum is secreted in large amounts, making it prone to makeup breakdown. It is a good idea to apply a thin layer of a primer that has a high sebum absorption effect here, and then layer on foundation. You can also add a light layer of face powder to finish off the makeup and make it last even longer.

Recommendation : Funny Elves finishing powder is great for absorbing oil and is easy to carry around.

Base makeup for dry skin

Choose a highly moisturizing foundation or primer

If you have dry skin, you need a foundation or primer that contains plenty of moisturizing ingredients. In particular, the Longwear Aqua Foundation, which contains three types of moisturizing ingredients, gives you a moist, radiant finish that won't come off even in the summer.

Tip : As an extension of your skincare routine, choosing your products in the same way you would choose a primer or foundation will help you avoid making mistakes.

Finishing touches that make the most of the gloss

For those with dry skin, a dewy finish is appealing. After applying foundation, lightly dab a highlighter on your cheekbones and nose for a healthy, fresh look. Using a setting spray will also help keep your makeup in place while keeping your skin hydrated.

Tip : When you finish applying your makeup, lightly press it with a tissue to remove excess oil and make your makeup last longer.

On the other hand, if you have dry skin, a foundation rich in moisturizing ingredients is ideal. For example, a foundation that contains aloe vera juice or a complex moisturizing ingredient will hydrate your skin and prevent your makeup from coming off.
