JAKARTA - If you have a lot of agendas to attend during the Christmas and New Year holidays, then a long-lasting makeup look is essential. To get a long-lasting makeup, many things must be considered, especially for those of you who wear cushions.
Cushions are very practical, but have a relatively short durability. However, using a cushion can also last a long time by doing some of the tips below. Quoted from Daily Vanity, Monday, December 22, 2025.
1. Use primer before using the cushion
The use of primer before applying the cushion plays an important role in prolonging the durability of makeup. Primer helps create a smoother base layer, so that complexion products can stick better to the skin and makeup is long-lasting.
For dry skin, choose a primer that is moisturizing so that makeup does not easily crack or look broken. If you have oily skin, then it is recommended to use a primer with an oil control effect to prevent makeup from quickly shifting and shining.
2. Apply the cushion by tapping
A common mistake that makes the cushion not last is the application by shifting it using a puff. This technique actually makes the product easier to crack and does not stick perfectly to the skin.
So, it's best to apply the cushion with a gentle patting motion. This way helps the product blend better with the skin, while reducing the risk of makeup fading easily.
3. Use a cushion with long-lasting technology
Each cushion has a different formulation. If durability is a priority, then choose a cushion that is designed with long-lasting technology.
The cushion with long-lasting technology will give you a fresh look and durability for up to eight hours. This cushion also has resistance to water, sweat, and air humidity, so the makeup stays fresh.
4. Use setting spray or light powder
The last step that is no less important for using a cushion is locking it with a setting spray. This helps keep the makeup together while maintaining a fresh dewy look.
For those of you who have oily skin, the use of powder is still allowed. However, use it only thinly on areas that are easily oily, such as the forehead, nose, and inner cheeks or T-zone areas.
