This year, time seems to fly by. In a few weeks, it will already be time for the end-of-year celebrations, so it's high time to start thinking about the evening makeup you will wear for the occasion.

Your weak point? Your complexion makeup that never stays flawless all night.

Don’t worry, the experts at the MAKE UP FOR EVER Academy will give you valuable advice...

Why is complexion makeup so important in the evening?

It's barely 11 PM, and you’re already on your third makeup touch-up? Your forehead is shining, and your imperfections are becoming more visible even though you thought you had concealed them well with foundation? Rest assured: this is a situation that is far from rare.

In reality, you should not apply makeup the same way during the day and in the evening. Of course, evening makeup is often more sophisticated. But that's not the only difference: in the evening, it's crucial to emphasize the longevity of makeup products, especially for the complexion. Indeed, with heat and humidity, makeup wears off more quickly, making it difficult to avoid touch-ups.

Some tips for evening makeup that lasts until the end of the night

Do you want your foundation to last all night? A perfect complexion throughout an evening is possible if you adopt the right techniques and use the appropriate products. Here are our tips:

• Prepare your skin: First and foremost, take the time to properly cleanse and hydrate your skin before applying complexion products. Clean, supple, and plump, your skin will be ready to receive makeup in the best conditions.
• Use a concealer: After concealing your small imperfections with a concealer that matches your skin tone, apply a makeup primer. This will help your foundation last much better.
• Choose liquid foundation: Use a liquid foundation rather than a powder. At night, your imperfections are likely to show if you choose a powdered finish.
• Add highlights: To add subtle touches of light to your face without making it shiny, use a highlighter.
• Control shine: Finally, if your skin shines despite everything after a few hours, do not suffocate your skin by applying another layer of makeup. Instead, use highly effective blotting paper to absorb excess oil.
