Geisha Makeover Experience

Introducing the recommended base makeup for when wearing a mask, which is a favorite of the makeup geeks at the Maiko Experience Center GION AYA.

This is Makeup Geek Garden at GION AYA, the Maiko Experience Center. I've been blogging a lot about cherry blossoms, so I'll take a break here for a bit and talk about beauty. With masks on, I often hear customers say that they don't wear foundation because it comes off. However, in my personal opinion, it's better to wear base makeup even when wearing a mask, as it protects your skin from oils produced by the skin and the friction of the mask. So, this time I'll introduce you to a method of applying base makeup that won't come off even when wearing a mask. The key to keeping your base makeup from coming off is, ① Moisturize your skin thoroughly to improve the adhesion of your foundation ② Make it difficult for sebum to be produced 3. Protect your foundation from rubbing and excess moisture These are the three   ① Moisturize your skin thoroughly to improve the adhesion of your foundation However, this is determined at the time of skin care when you apply your base makeup. The skin is naturally designed to have a sebum film, but when you wash your face, this sebum film is inevitably washed away, so skin care is used to replenish it. However, just because you want to moisturize well doesn't mean you should use a lot of oily creams, as this will upset the balance of water and oil, which is not good. The best condition is a 1:XNUMX balance of water and oil. If you have moisturized well but your skin feels a bit sticky before applying your base makeup, you can wipe it off with a tissue to smooth it out. Keeping your skin in good condition at the time of skin care in this way will help your foundation adhere better, and the finish of your base makeup will be beautiful. I recommend a base that has both high skin care effects, moisturizing power, and sunscreen properties ↓ Let me introduce one of my favorite makeup bases   ② Make it difficult for sebum to be produced If your skin care routine has just the right balance, sebum production will be reduced, but when you wear a mask, sebum production increases, so it's better to apply a foundation that absorbs excess sebum. If you're wearing a mask and only use a foundation or BB cream, but you still end up with oily skin, try applying a thin layer of foundation. Also, if you apply too much face powder, it can dry out your skin and make it more oily, so use just the right amount. ↓Here's a foundation that I use all the time and doesn't come off easily. In the liquid foundation category, this foundation from Shu Uemura is my second repeat purchase. If you're looking for a cushion foundation, I recommend this one from Exbeaute, as it doesn't require a base when you're short on time.   With powder foundation, Dim Couleur blends the colors to create a complexion, so it's hard to tell if it crumbles. I also recommend using it with Primer L, which gives you a frosted, glossy complexion despite being powdery.   3. Protect your foundation from rubbing and excess moisture No matter how well you put on your base makeup, it always comes off due to the friction and humidity of the mask, right? (Suddenly I'm speaking in Kansai dialect!) If you feel this way, I recommend trying a fix spray that you can spray at the end of your makeup application to make your makeup waterproof. Here's the fix spray I use: This is a limited edition product, but Time Secret also has standard products, so be sure to check them out at Loft or PLAZA. However, using a fix spray creates a coating that makes it difficult to touch up your makeup later, so if you like to touch up your makeup often, it's best not to use it. We'll still be living with masks, but we want to get through this while preventing skin irritation. I've been doing a lot of photo shoots recently, so I don't have many opportunities to talk to customers about their makeup concerns, so if you have any questions when you visit the store, please feel free to ask.InstagramThank you very much for your support.     Gion Aya YouTube Channel(We are constantly uploading makeup tutorials and helpful travel information videos) Direct store phone number: +81 80-2606-4420 Inquiry form:https://kyoto-maiko.com/contact/inquiry Reservation Form:https://kyoto-maiko.com/contact/reservation LINE Account:https://line.me/R/ti/p/%40ojf8236v
