Plan your facial waxing carefully or you may have trouble with makeup adhesion for your party or special event.
You would think it's a good idea to have your lip and brow waxing done right before your event so you look nice and hair free.
Think again!
Makeup may slide right off freshly waxed skin!
Dead skin cells are exfoliated when the wax is pulled off during the hair removal leaving the skin super smooth.
Your foundation and eye makeup may not stick on those smooth freshly waxed areas on your face such as your upper lip, chin or brows.
I have had it happen when applying prom makeup. The prom girl shows up with a freshly upper lip and foundation just slides right off leaving a weird looking shiny spot.
Remedy for makeup not sticking to freshly waxed skin
It takes a bit of my favorite eye shadow primer (Urban Decay Primer Potion), foundation, powder and a light touch to get it to stick. It's quite a challenge.
Apply Primer
You can use a face primer but I prefer the holding power of UD Primer Potion for this job. I like the original nude formula. Apply primer to the freshly waxed area by patting it on with your fingers.
