5 Tips To Look Your Best This Festive Season.

Hi guys! Hope you all are doing great!

The festive season is the best time to put on your glam game. There are lot of parties, lot of family gathering and lots of pictures. Everyone wants to look their best and Compact Matters is here to help you with that.

We have made a list of 5 tips that will help you look your best during this festive season.

Use a foundation or BB cream with low or no SPF.

Everyone likes taking pictures during the festive season. However a foundation with high SPF tends to show up awkwardly in pictures especially flash photography. Weird grey or white patches may appear in your pictures or your skin may appear more oily than it is. This can be avoided by using a foundation with SPF not higher than 20 or simply no SPF like the Maybelline Fit Me Matte & Poreless Foundation.

Structure your face with some contouring.

During the festive season, even the best of us tend to gain a little weight due to all the lavish dinners and irresistible sweets. In such a scenario, a little contouring can take you a long way. Grab a contour powder or a powder which is 2 shades darker than your skintone and apply it gently across your jawline. It helps give your face some definition and hid that double chin.

Use a white/nude liner to look more awake.

The festive season seems a lot of late nights and that tends to take a toll on your eyes. However some white or nude liner on the inner corner of your eyes can help create the illusion of a good night’s sleep. You can do use eyeshadow as well but then it must be blended into rest of your eye make up.

Blot your lipstick for it to stay all night.

With all the food and drinks during the festive season, your lipstick will wear off sooner or later. However while applying the lipstick, if you blot it with tissue, that is put a thin tissue between your lip and press them against each other, it tends to stay much longer. I also like to apply some powder on my lips after blotting to keep the lipstick matte. Some people like to do this through the tissue paper but I prefer to do it directly with my fingers. You can then simply re-apply the lipstick.

Never sleep with make up on.

There are no exceptions to this rule. I know Diwali late nights can get really exhausting but sleeping with make up on is abusing your skin. It does not matter if it is only some lipstick or kajal, you must remove all the make up. If your make up remover is over, use some coconut oil. Just this simple tip will help you look amazing the next day as well. Otherwise all the concealer in the world can not save you.
