We're Really Doing This

Rowaelin Month 2024, Day 28: Eloping @rowaelinscourt

Word count: 1.6k

Warnings: some swearing, innuendo

A/N: ✨happy birthday to me✨ here have a fun little elopement fic!! enjoy!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“And do you, Aelin Galathynius, take this man as your lawfully wedded husband?” 

Aelin looked at Rowan, grasping his hands. “Are we really doing this?” she whispered, her breath hitching. 

He grinned at her, eyes bright. “We’re really doing this.” 

The officiant cleared his throat politely, and Aelin snapped her attention back to the ceremony. With a smile bright enough to shame the sun, she met Rowan’s gaze. “I do.” 

~

Three Hours Earlier

“So, to clarify, you’re actively trying to give your entire family and his entire family a massive heart attack?” 

“That’s exactly what we’re going for.” Aelin smirked at her best friend. “Are you in, maid of honor?” 

“Hell yes!” Lysandra kicked her feet giddily. “We need to go find you a dress like, now!” 

Aelin laughed. “One step at a time, Lys.” 

“Bullshit.” The brunette leapt to her feet and caught Aelin’s hand. “I wasn’t expecting this at all, since you and your mom have been planning a big-ass wedding ever since you and Ro got engaged, but you go, girlie. And if it’s your wedding day, you need a dress. Now.” 

“What if I told you I already have a dress?” Aelin and Rowan had gotten engaged just over a year ago, and Lys was right—practically since the day Aelin came home with that emerald glittering on her left hand, Evalin Ashryver had been in full event-planning mode. 

Lys stopped in her tracks. “You do not.” 

“Oh, I do.” Aelin’s grin turned wicked as she crossed the hotel room and opened the closet, revealing a garment bag that she unzipped. With a flourish, she pulled the dress out of the bag, and it unfurled in a spill of white silk. 

“Holy fuck!” Lys stared at the sleeveless sheath dress, examining its beautiful tailoring and the slit running up one seam. “Where did you get that?” 

“Ells knows people.” Aelin shrugged. Elide Lochan, another of her close friends and one of her bridesmaids, worked as a modeling agent, and she was always picking up clothes from various designers that she gave to her friends. “I had a few alterations done, and here we go.” She hung the dress up and picked up a smaller, flat box. “And I have my mom’s veil, so she can’t be too mad at me for defying tradition.” 

Lys laughed at that. “I still stand by my heart attack statement.” 

“Oh, you were a hundred percent right about that.” Aelin glanced over at her phone, where her notifications had been pinging for almost a whole minute. “Lys, what the fuck? Did you text the groupchat?” 

“Of course I did!” Lys patted Aelin’s shoulder. “Just the one with you, me, Rowan, and Lorcan.” 

“That’s marginally better.” Lorcan was Rowan’s best man, so the groupchat with just the four of them was where they handled most of the wedding details. Aelin looked at the string of texts. “Why is Lorcan asking if we have a limo?” 

“We’re in Vegas, baby!” Lys beamed. “Why shouldn’t you get a limo?” 

“Because they’re tourist traps, and before you say it, hell no. We’re not getting married by Elvis.” 

Lys frowned. “What happened to your sense of adventure?” 

“Ro and I already went and applied for a marriage license at the courthouse, and we have an appointment there later today.” Aelin flicked Lys’s shoulder. “We aren’t drunk enough to get married by some middle-aged man in a shitty Elvis suit.” 

“Fair enough.” Lysandra rolled her shoulders. “All right, lady, you better have brought all of your hair and makeup stuff, because so help me gods, you’ll be the most glamorous bride in the courthouse.” 

“I wouldn’t trust anyone else to do it.” Aelin grinned and opened up her makeup bag. 

~

A good two hours later, she had her makeup done and her hair resting in rollers, lips held apart as the smudge-proof scarlet lipstick dried. Lysandra made her close her eyes as she sprayed her face with setting spray, and Aelin obediently sat and waited until Lys told her she could open her eyes and stand up. She looked at herself in the mirror, and she beamed. 

“I love you, Lyssie.” 

“Love you too, Aelie.” 

Aelin wrinkled her nose. “Ugh, why? We’re not in college anymore.” 

Lys snickered. “You said it first.” 

“Oh, fine.” Aelin went over to the closet, dropped her robe, and let Lysandra help her into the dress, carefully sliding up the zipper in the back. She turned slowly, admiring the way the silk flowed over the lines of her figure, molded to her body. The slit climbed up her left leg, stopping at the middle of her thigh, and the heels she’d brought paired perfectly with the sleek look of the dress. 

Behind her, Lys sniffled as she pinned the veil into Aelin’s curls. “You’re really a bride,” she murmured, and Aelin turned and flung her arms around her best friend. 

“You’re the best maid of honor,” Aelin murmured thickly. 

Lys managed a smile. “Of course I am.” She blinked back the sheen of her tears. “Let’s go get you married.” 

She and Aelin went downstairs to the hotel lobby, and a car was waiting at the curb. They climbed into the back seat and went off to the courthouse, only a short drive from the hotel. As she hopped out of the car, Aelin looked across the limestone steps, a smile unfurling across her face when she saw Rowan and Lorcan standing shoulder to shoulder at the bottom of the stairs. 

“Hey there, handsome,” she hummed, touching his shoulder. 

He turned, and wonder suffused his face as he gawked at her in her wedding dress. “Holy gods, Fireheart,” he finally managed to say. “You’re so beautiful.” 

She blushed under her makeup. “Thank you, love.” She swept a long look up and down his figure, appreciating the fit of his tux. “You look stunning, too.” 

“Luckiest man in the world,” he murmured, holding out his hand. “Ready?” 

“For you? Yes.” She tucked her hand into his, and they walked up the courthouse steps together. 

They checked in at the reception desk in the lobby, and an aide led them back to a small, unassuming courtroom. It looked like an office, just with a small version of a judge’s bench in place of a desk. The placard on the desk read “Justice of the Peace,” meaning that the man behind the desk was officially authorized to perform weddings and other official duties. He greeted them and had Aelin and Rowan stand facing each other in front of the bench, with Lysandra and Lorcan a couple steps away as the witnesses. Hand in hand with Rowan, Aelin lost herself in his gaze as the officiant began the wedding ceremony. 

~

“Do you, Rowan Whitethorn, take Aelin Galathynius as your lawfully wedded wife?” 

Rowan’s eyes were soft and filled with love. “I do.” 

“And do you, Aelin Galathynius, take Rowan Whitethorn as your lawfully wedded husband?” 

Aelin smiled. “I do.” 

They exchanged rings, Aelin sliding a steel-gray platinum band with an inlay of tiny rubies onto Rowan’s finger and Rowan slipping a gold band engraved with a subtle flame design onto Aelin’s finger, tucking it into place beside her engagement ring. 

“With the authority vested in me by the state of Nevada, I hereby declare you husband and wife! You may kiss the bride.” 

Rowan smoothly hooked an arm around Aelin’s waist and dipped her into a fervent kiss. 

Behind them, Lysandra whooped, applauding vividly. Lorcan joined in, whistling lowly when Rowan finally pulled away and set Aelin upright on her feet. She was smiling brighter than he’d ever seen her smile, her joy warming his heart, and his smile matched hers. 

“Hi, husband,” she whispered. 

He kissed her again. “Hi, wife.” 

Aelin raised her and Rowan’s hands into the air like a winning boxer as they walked out of the courthouse and down the steps. They climbed into the car that was waiting for them, Lys and Lorcan following, and they drove off to the hotel, where the families were gathered for what they thought was going to be an engagement party. Aelin’s mother had repeatedly questioned her daughter’s desire to hold her party in Vegas, but she begrudgingly agreed when Aelin told her that was where the bachelor and bachelorette trips were going to be. 

Lorcan and Lysandra went into the hotel event space first, giving Aelin and Rowan a few minutes to themselves. She and Lys had planned it out during the drive—the best man and maid of honor would say some words of welcome, and when Aelin and Rowan were ready, they’d walk in and be announced as Mr. and Mrs. to everyone’s shock. 

“Ready?” Rowan asked, wrapping one arm low around Aelin’s hips. 

She flicked a sultry glance up at him. “I might need a few more minutes.” Even in her heels, she still had to rise up to kiss him, and in a blur of hazy kisses, she’d tugged him into the closest coat closet. It was empty except for some hangers, since nobody was wearing a jacket in Vegas, and he backed her swiftly against the shelves, his lips attached to her neck. 

“Love you so much,” he murmured against her skin. 

She wove her fingers into his hair. “Love you more, Ro.” 

A fist thudded against the door, shattering their little bubble. “Break it up, you two,” Lorcan grumbled. “I’m not opening this door, but you might want to get your lovebird asses out here.” 

“Jackass,” Rowan muttered. 

Aelin snickered. “Thank you, Lor darling.” 

“Gods above.” Lorcan left, probably rolling his eyes. 

“We should go,” Aelin whispered, deftly tucking Rowan’s shirt back into place. 

He raised a brow. “Do we have to?” 

“I want to show you off, husband.” She kissed the corner of his jaw. “Please?” 

“Anything for you, love.” He laced his fingers with hers and led her down the hallway and through the double doors into the event space, where their family and friends were gathered. 

Lysandra leaned into the microphone in her hand as the couple walked in. “Mr. and Mrs. Whitethorn, everyone!” she whooped. 

And the crowd went wild.

Pirate Hair and Makeup Trends for Themed Parties in 2025

Ahoy, mateys! Planning a pirate-themed party in 2025? Whether you want to channel your inner swashbuckler or embrace the allure of a pirate queen, nailing the right hair and makeup is key. Let’s dive into the top trends that will have you stealing the spotlight at your next adventure!

Pirate Hair Trends for 2025

Messy Braids and Twists Nothing says "pirate" like a classic braid! Think fishtail braids, messy side plaits, or even loose twists adorned with beads, shells, or metallic cuffs. Add ribbons or strips of fabric to match your outfit and create a rugged, sea-worn vibe.

Wind-Swept Waves Pirates are always on the move, and their hair reflects it. Achieve the look with sea salt spray for effortless, textured waves. Want a modern twist? Try subtle ombre highlights in shades like caramel or ash.

Bold Colors for the Brave Modern pirates are all about standing out! Experiment with temporary hair dyes or chalks in bold hues like crimson red, deep blue, or purple. These vibrant colors add a contemporary touch to your seafaring style.

Accessories That Slay No pirate look is complete without the perfect accessories. In 2025, think printed headscarves, leather bands, or feathered accents. Metallic hairpins or combs can also add a splash of elegance to your look.

Makeup Trends for Pirate Parties

Smoky Eyes with a Twist A smoky eye is a pirate's signature look, but 2025 calls for an upgrade. Jewel tones like emerald green, sapphire blue, or amethyst purple give your eyes a modern, sultry vibe. Smudge-proof liners are a must for that all-night intensity!

Fierce Brows Well-defined, bold brows are here to stay. Fill them in with a brow pencil and highlight the arch for a polished, dramatic frame to your face.

Golden Glow Channel the sun-kissed radiance of a sea adventurer with bronzer and highlighter. Focus on your cheekbones, temples, and nose for a natural glow that screams pirate royalty.

Statement Lips Whether it’s a deep burgundy, plum, or even bold black, pirates love dramatic lips. For a subtler vibe, try a nude matte lip with a glossy finish for that perfectly pouty look.

Tips for the Perfect Pirate Look

Balance Your Look: If you go heavy on the eyes, keep the lips neutral. Or flip the script with bold lips and softer eyes.

Use Long-Lasting Products: Primers, setting sprays, and waterproof makeup are your best friends for those late-night party adventures.

Practice Makes Perfect: Test your hair and makeup before the event to ensure everything aligns with your pirate persona.

Why Your Hair and Makeup Matter

Themed parties are all about stepping into another world, and your hair and makeup complete the transformation. These trends make it easy to stand out, whether you’re channeling rugged pirate vibes or shimmering like a glamorous sea queen.

So, grab your brushes, accessories, and a bit of pirate spirit, and let 2025 be the year of unforgettable looks. Ready to set sail in style? Let’s hear about your favorite pirate-inspired ideas in the comments!

Why Does My Eyeliner Pencil Smudge? Common Mistakes and Fixeseye pencil​, kajal eye pencil, kajal eye pencil waterproof, best eye kajal pencil​

There’s nothing more frustrating than applying the perfect eyeliner look in the morning, only to find it smudged and messy by midday. Eye pencil smudging is a common issue, and it can happen for a variety of reasons, from oily eyelids to improper application techniques.

If you’ve ever wondered why your eyeliner doesn’t stay in place, this guide is for you. We’ll explore the common mistakes that lead to smudging and, most importantly, how to fix them so your eyeliner lasts all day.

Common Reasons Why Eyeliner Pencil Smudges

A. Oily Eyelids

One of the main culprits behind smudging eyeliner is excess oil on your eyelids. Throughout the day, your skin naturally produces oils, which can break down your makeup. This is especially common in warm and humid climates or for individuals with oily skin.

B. Using the Wrong Eyeliner Formula

Eyeliner pencils are available in different formulations. Some have creamy textures that ensure effortless application but don’t set properly, leading to smudging. If you’re using a soft pencil liner that doesn’t dry down, it’s more likely to smear.

C. Skipping Eye Primer or Setting Products

If you apply eyeliner directly onto bare skin, it has nothing to adhere to and is more likely to move around. Eye primers and setting powders create a dry, smooth surface that helps prevent smudging.

 

 

D. Applying Too Much Product

Applying any makeup more than needed is like breaking the first rule of makeup application. Too much application of eye shading pencil can cause smudging, especially if setting spray is skipped.

2. How to Prevent Eyeliner Pencil from Smudging

Prep Your Eyelids Before Applying Eyeliner

Prepping your eyelids is key to ensuring that your eyeliner stays put. Start by cleansing your face with an oil-free cleanser and then apply an eyeshadow primer or dust a light layer of translucent powder over your lids. This absorbs excess oil and provides a dry base for eyeliner application.

Choose a Long-Lasting, Smudge-Proof Eyeliner Pencil

Opt for an eyeliner pencil with a waterproof or gel-based formula. Here are some of the best eyeliners you can try from Colorbar:

I-Glide Magic Eye Pencil: Colorbar I-Glide Eye Pencil is an award-winning colored pencil available in 20 highly pigmented shades. Enriched with ingredients such as vitamin E, jojoba oil, and cottonseed oil, this formulation is safe and nurturing for the eyes.

Ultimate Eye Liner: Another award-winning eyeliner pencil by Colorbar that offers a glossy, high-pigmented finish. Its flexi-tip applicator provides ultimate accuracy, and its quick-dry formulation prevents any smudging.

Apply Eyeliner in Thin Layers

Instead of applying a thick, bold line all at once, build up your eyeliner in thin layers. Use short strokes to create the desired intensity. This prevents the product from becoming too heavy and reduces the risk of transfer.

Set Your Eyeliner with Powder or Eyeshadow

Setting your eyeliner with a matching eyeshadow helps lock it in place. After applying your eyeliner, take an angled brush and press a similar-colored eyeshadow over it.

Quick Fixes for Smudged Eyeliner

Even with the right eyeliner and application, there is a chance your eyeliner might smudge. For those situations, you can rely on these quick fixes.

A.   Blot and Reapply

If your eyeliner starts smudging midday, use a blotting paper or tissue to absorb excess oil around your eyes. Then, lightly touch up your eyeliner with a pencil or powder to refresh the look.

B.   Convert Smudges into a Smokey Eye

Instead of constantly fixing your eyeliner, embrace the smudged look by blending it into a soft smokey eye. Use a small smudging brush to diffuse the edges for an effortlessly sultry look.

C.   Carry a Travel-Friendly Eyeliner for Quick Touch-Ups

If you’re prone to eyeliner smudging, keep a mini eyeliner pencil in your bag for quick touch-ups. A retractable pencil is the best choice since you won’t need to carry a sharpener.

Conclusion

Eyeliner pencil smudging is a common issue, but with the right techniques and products, you can achieve long-lasting, smudge-proof eyeliner. Whether it’s prepping your eyelids, choosing the right formula, or setting your liner with powder, small changes can make a big difference.

Along with the eyeliners mentioned above, you can also check Colorbar’s gel-based eyeliners, kajal, eyeshadows and mascaras to further enhance the beauty of your eyes. Shop Now.

How to Prevent Ink Smudging in Calligraphy Writing

Calligraphy is an elegant and expressive form of writing, but one of the most common frustrations faced by artists is ink smudging. Whether you're using colored calligraphy pens or traditional dip pens, smudging can ruin an otherwise perfect piece. To achieve clean, crisp strokes and avoid smudging, you need to focus on proper techniques, materials, and workspace setup. This guide will walk you through various methods to prevent ink smudging in your calligraphy writing.

1. Choose the Right Paper

The type of paper you use plays a significant role in preventing ink smudging. Thin or glossy papers tend to cause ink to sit on the surface longer, increasing the likelihood of smudging. Instead, opt for high-quality, smooth-textured paper that absorbs ink efficiently. Some good choices include:

Bristol board – Smooth and ideal for calligraphy pens.

Rhodia paper – Popular among calligraphers for its bleed-proof quality.

Hot-pressed watercolor paper – Absorbent and works well with various inks.

Test different paper types with your colored calligraphy pens to see which provides the best results with minimal smudging.

2. Use Fast-Drying Inks

Ink drying time varies based on formulation and consistency. Some inks take longer to dry, making them prone to smudging. When using colored calligraphy pens, look for fast-drying inks, such as:

Acrylic-based inks – Dry quickly and are water-resistant.

Alcohol-based inks – Found in brush pens and markers, these dry almost instantly.

Gel-based calligraphy inks – Offer smooth flow with quick-drying properties.

If you're using a dip pen, avoid heavy or slow-drying inks, as they can stay wet for a long time and increase smudging risks.

3. Adjust Your Hand Position and Writing Angle

Proper hand positioning is crucial in preventing smudging. Left-handed writers, in particular, may struggle with smudging as their hand naturally moves across the fresh ink. Here are some tips to adjust your technique:

Write from top to bottom and left to right (if right-handed) to avoid dragging your hand over wet ink.

For left-handed calligraphers, use an underhand grip or write in a slanted manner to minimize contact with wet ink.

Lift your hand slightly as you write to prevent smudging.

4. Allow Enough Drying Time

Rushing through a calligraphy piece without giving the ink time to dry is a recipe for smudging. To avoid this:

Let your work sit for a few minutes before handling.

If working on multiple words or lines, move between sections to give ink time to set.

Use a hairdryer on a low setting to speed up drying time if necessary.

5. Blot Excess Ink

Blotting paper is an excellent tool for soaking up excess ink without disrupting your writing. After writing each word or line, lightly press blotting paper over the ink to absorb extra moisture. This technique is especially helpful when using dip pens and fountain pens.

6. Work in a Controlled Environment

Humidity and temperature can impact ink drying time and performance. For best results:

Avoid writing in humid conditions, as moisture in the air can prolong drying time.

Work in a well-ventilated space to help ink dry faster.

Keep your hands clean and dry to prevent transferring sweat or oils onto the paper.

7. Use Smudge-Proof Calligraphy Pens

If you’re using colored calligraphy pens, choosing smudge-resistant options can significantly reduce ink smudging. Some excellent choices include:

Tombow Fudenosuke brush pens – Great for beginners with fast-drying ink.

Pentel Fude Touch Sign Pens – Smooth-flowing ink with minimal smudging.

Sakura Pigma Micron pens – Known for their archival-quality, smudge-proof ink.

8. Seal Your Work for Long-Lasting Results

Once your calligraphy piece is complete, consider sealing it to protect against accidental smudges and environmental factors. You can:

Use a fixative spray – A light misting of fixative can prevent smudging.

Laminate your work – Ideal for preserving important pieces.

Frame it behind glass – A great option for displaying calligraphy artwork.

Conclusion Preventing ink smudging in calligraphy writing requires careful selection of materials, proper technique, and patience. By using high-quality paper, fast-drying inks, and smudge-resistant colored calligraphy pens, you can achieve clean and precise calligraphy work. Additionally, maintaining proper hand positioning, working in a controlled environment, and allowing sufficient drying time will help minimize smudging. With practice and attention to detail, you can master the art of smudge-free calligraphy and create stunning, flawless designs.

Monsoon Bridal Makeup: How to Keep Your Look

The monsoon season brings a refreshing charm to weddings, but the humidity and unexpected rains can make bridal makeup tricky. A flawless, long-lasting look is essential for every bride, even in unpredictable weather. Here’s how you can keep your bridal makeup intact and look stunning throughout your big day.

1. Prepping the Skin for a Long-Lasting Base

A well-prepared base ensures that your makeup stays intact despite the humidity. Follow these essential steps:

Cleanse your face thoroughly to remove excess oil.

Apply an oil-free, mattifying moisturizer.

Use a lightweight primer to create a smooth, non-greasy base.

2. Choosing Waterproof and Sweat-Proof Products

To avoid makeup smudging or melting, opt for waterproof and long-wear formulas:

Foundation & Concealer: Choose an oil-free, waterproof foundation that matches your skin tone.

Eye Makeup: Use waterproof mascara and eyeliner to avoid smudging.

Lipstick: Matte or liquid lipsticks last longer and prevent smudging in humid weather.

3. Opt for Light and Airy Makeup

Monsoon weddings call for breathable, lightweight makeup. Avoid heavy layers and go for light makeup for wedding to maintain a fresh and natural look.

4. Setting Your Makeup for All-Day Perfection

Setting your makeup properly is crucial to withstand humidity:

Apply a setting powder to control excess oil.

Use a waterproof setting spray to lock your makeup in place.

Carry blotting papers to absorb excess shine without disturbing your makeup.

5. Enhancing the Eyes with Natural Bridal Eye Makeup

A subtle and elegant natural bridal eye makeup look is perfect for monsoon weddings. Opt for neutral or soft shimmer shades, waterproof eyeliner, and smudge-proof kajal to keep your eyes defined all day.

6. Choosing the Right Hairstyle for the Monsoon

Humidity can make hair frizzy and unmanageable. Select a monsoon-friendly party makeup hair style such as braided buns, sleek ponytails, or floral updos to keep your hair in place despite the weather.

Sol Brush: The Powder Sunscreen Benefits No One Talks About

Sunscreen has been a skincare staple for decades, but come on—old lotions and sprays are such a hassle. They're greasy, they're a mess, and application over makeup? A nightmare. That's why Sol Brush is here, the game-changing powder sunscreen that's sweeping sun protection under the rug.

What is Sol Brush?

Sol Brush is a powder sunscreen that smooths on easily with an onboard brush, so it's a very convenient way to protect yourself from UV radiation. While regular sunscreen can stick to your skin as a gooey mess or leave a white cast behind, Sol Brush just melts into your skin to provide SPF without hassle.

Why Powder Sunscreen Should Be More Hyped

Powder sunscreen is not new, but it does not receive the credit it should. Here's why Sol Brush is revolutionizing the world of sunscreen:

Mess-Free & Travel-FriendlyDitch the spilled sunscreen in your bag. Sol Brush is spill-proof and travel-sized, so it's the ideal on-the-go buddy.

No Greasier FaceIf you have greasy skin, you know how maddening it can be to slather cream sunscreen over already slicked-up face. Sol Brush absorbs extra oil but continues to protect your skin, so you enjoy matte texture throughout the day.

Seamless Makeup ApplicationReapplying SPF over makeup has always been tricky, but Sol Brush makes it effortless. Just a few sweeps over your face, and you’re good to go without smudging or ruining your look.

Gentle on Sensitive SkinMany traditional sunscreens contain chemicals that can irritate sensitive skin. Sol Brush is often formulated with mineral-based SPF, making it a gentle yet effective option.

No Sticky ResidueGross, who wants that sticky, heavy sunscreen feeling? Sol Brush is completely weightless, so you won't even know you're wearing it.

How to Use Sol Brush Like a Pro

Powder sunscreen couldn't be easier to apply, but with some pro tips, you'll get the most out of it:

Apply liberally – Don't be stingy! Make sure you're covering all exposed skin.

Reapply every two hours – Just like any other sunscreen, it needs to be reapplied in order to remain effective.

Use as a setting powder – If you wear makeup, Sol Brush is also a setting powder that keeps your skin looking fresh and protected.

Don't forget your neck & hands – These areas are prone to being forgotten but need protection from the sun as well!

The Verdict: Is Sol Brush Worth It?

Absolutely! Whether you're a busy professional, a makeup junkie, or just someone who needs convenient sun protection, Sol Brush is a complete game-changer. It's simple to apply, not greasy at all, and perfect for quick touch-ups throughout the day. If you haven't tried powder sunscreen yet, consider this your wake-up call to make the switch.

So, are you ready to bid farewell to mess and hello to simple sun protection? Your skin will thank you!

Guide to Smudge-Proof, Long-Lasting Makeup

When it comes to makeup, longevity is key. Nobody wants their hard work to smudge, fade, or melt away within hours of application.Achieving smudge-proof, long-lasting makeup is a combination of the right products, proper techniques, and mindful habits. With these tips, you can confidently step out knowing your look will stay intact through the day — or night.

Here is a comprehensive guide to achieving smudge-proof, long-lasting makeup that stays fresh all day and night.

1. Prep Your Canvas

The secret to long-lasting makeup begins with proper skin preparation. Start by cleansing your face to remove any dirt or oil. Follow up with a lightweight, oil-free moisturizer that suits your skin type. A well-hydrated face ensures that your makeup adheres better and lasts longer.

2. Choose Long-Wear Formulas

Investing in high-quality, long-wear makeup products is essential. From foundation to eyeliner, opt for formulas specifically designed for extended wear. Products labeled as waterproof, transfer-proof, or smudge-proof are your best friends.

3. Master the Art of Layering

Layering is a tried-and-true technique for longevity. After applying your foundation, set it with a translucent setting powder to lock it in place. For eye makeup, use an eyeshadow primer before applying shadow and liner to prevent creasing and smudging.

4. Use Setting Sprays

Setting sprays are the ultimate finishing touch for long-lasting makeup. A few spritzes of a high-quality setting spray can seal your look, reduce shine, and provide a smudge-proof finish. Choose a spray tailored to your skin type — whether you need extra hydration, a matte finish, or extra hold.

5. Handle Touch-Ups Wisely

Even with the best techniques, a little maintenance may be necessary. Carry a small makeup bag with blotting papers, a compact powder, and your chosen lip product for quick touch-ups.

6. Avoid Touching Your Face

One of the easiest ways to ruin your makeup is by touching your face. Be mindful of resting your chin on your hand, rubbing your eyes, or any other habits that can smudge your makeup.

7. Consider the Environment

Extreme weather conditions can challenge the durability of your makeup. In humid climates, stick to lightweight, sweat-proof formulas. In colder weather, focus on hydrating products that prevent your makeup from drying out.

8. The Role of Skincare

Your daily skincare routine plays a significant role in how your makeup performs. Regular exfoliation helps remove dead skin cells, allowing makeup to sit smoothly. Additionally, using a good sunscreen protects your skin and prevents makeup from breaking down due to UV exposure.

Remember, makeup is an art, and a little practice goes a long way in mastering it. Get in touch to Inspiring innovation and excellence in the world of professional makeup — Poonam Lalwani.

How does sangeet makeup enhance the bride's dance performance?
