How to keep your makeup on even in the wettest weather: how the "backwards" method works

In the changeable spring weather, when it's either raining or so hot that we start to sweat, our makeup is not at its best. Mascara smudges, eyeshadow collects in the folds of the eyelids, and the tone literally starts to slip off the face.

It's no secret that humidity is the enemy of long-lasting makeup. However, Glam has shared an unusual method of applying cosmetics that will allow you to have flawless makeup even in the wettest weather.

This ingenious life hack is even used by professional makeup artists when applying stage makeup to actors or dancers, because during active movements and in cramped pavilions, they need the most durable coverage possible.

The "backwards" method of applying makeup

In fact, the essence of this method is exactly what you think. Indeed, you will have to do your makeup in the opposite direction.

Moisturize

First, if you have oily skin, wipe it with a tissue to remove excess sebum. Then apply a light moisturizer that your skin will quickly absorb. For example, a gel or non-greasy lotion that does not clog pores is ideal.

Powder

When the cream is gone from your face, apply regular powder. Pay special attention to areas that are prone to oiliness.

Setting spray

After powder, it's a good idea to use a setting spray. Spray it all over your face, but just like with powder, focus on areas prone to oiliness.

Primer

To fix the result, you can use a primer. Apply it to areas of the face prone to unwanted shine.

Foundation

The final step in backwards makeup, oddly enough, is applying foundation. Apply a thin layer and you'll be ready for any conditions.

However, before using this life hack, you need to determine your skin type. If you have dry skin, then the "backwards" method may not give the desired result.

Cracking or peeling are real problems that can occur when using this life hack. However, if it is very humid or hot outside, you can still try it.
