Masks are now an integral part of our daily lives. They are an essential barrier gesture for the good of all. But have you adapted your make-up to them yet? Wearing make-up while staying protected is possible. Le Mag gives you its tips for looking your best in the midst of a pandemic.

You can now forgo your lipsticks, highlighters and other foundations. Those who wear glasses know this well. Breathing in a properly worn mask can sometimes be a hindrance. Exhaled moisture accumulates on our skin and can cause our make-up to run. To avoid this, we have alternatives that will prevent certain problems. Also, we will particularly focus on your eyes, which more than ever need to be highlighted.
First of all, prepare your skin!
First, rinse your skin, cleanse it properly according to your skin type. Then, don't hesitate to apply a scrub or a hydrating mask. Especially on the lower part of your face, where the mask will obstruct your pores. Indeed, you will need to nourish your skin, which will be enclosed and subject to a lot of friction throughout your day. Take your time for this step, making sure the treatment penetrates well before continuing.
Opt for a BB Cream instead of a foundation
As you may have gathered, foundation runs a high risk of smudging throughout the day. What's more, you risk developing pimples faster than you think. We advise you to turn to a BB Cream, which is lighter and less aggressive for your skin.

About your lips
Even if your lips won't be visible, don't neglect them. While we don't recommend using gloss or lipstick, a balm will be extremely useful. Because the friction that damages your skin will do the same to your lips. But also simply because, in anticipation of the cold temperatures ahead, you'll need to take care of your lips.
Eye make-up, at the heart of "mask make-up"
We advise you to start by further brightening your face with a concealer. Since your eyes will attract even more attention due to the mask covering a good part of your face, you will need to take even more care with your eye make-up than before.
Now your eyes are brighter (even if tired) and your complexion is corrected, you can apply eyeshadow. Here, we advise you to select eyeshadow colours that are close to your skin tone. Understand that humidity can still cause your make-up to run here. Waterproof shadows can also be a solution, but few products have been designed to last a day with a mask, right?
If you're looking for a quality eyeshadow palette that lasts all day, we recommend the Gold N’Roses range from Mesauda Milano.
Now define your eyebrows. Take out your brush and comb them upwards. If you have gaps in an eyebrow, don't hesitate to use kohl or a pencil in the color of your hair. In any case, it is important to structure your eyebrows.
The kohl from Astra Make-Up offers excellent value for money.
We think it's best to leave your lower eyelid alone. It will probably rub against your mask throughout the day, risking smudging everything.
Let's move on to eyeliner for your eye contour. Feel free to be creative, as long as the liner is symmetrical!
Thanks to its Magic Tip applicator, applying liner has never been easier! The Mesauda Milano Dip Liner Matte will also delight you with its long-lasting hold.
Finally, don't hesitate to apply a thick brush mascara to your lashes. The goal is to optimize the volume of your lashes. Grasp the root of your lashes with the mascara and move upwards towards their tips in zigzag motions.

Your make-up is now complete. As you can see, it's all about combining products that can stay on your skin while wearing a mask. We hope this will help you better approach your morning routines!
