The longest night

If you want to continue being selfie ready until so many in the morning, you are going to need more than just mascara. “Choose a primer according to the type of skin [you have]. For example, blur types erase imperfections, reduce pore size and help control shine in unwanted areas, "recommends Argentine makeup artist Vanina Villar. As for bases?

Fresh and fit

Make no mistake, whatever your style, when you go to play sports the priority is to be comfortable.

That is why the ideal is to bet on makeup as light and relaxed as possible, and avoid very dense textures that do not allow the skin to breathe, as well as cosmetics that are not resistant to water and sweat. “You can't miss a waterproof mascara.

Did you know that your skin type also influences how long your makeup lasts? According to the Colombian makeup artist Claudia Betancur, the driest or very greasy skin lasts the least time. So if you have dry skin, keep a moisturizing spray handy at work, as the office environment dries you out even more. "Thermal water is key to prolong the duration of makeup," says Villar, who also recommends applying a long-lasting foundation after concealer.
