Makeup tips for beach days
Longevity is built in thin layers at every stage, not added at the end.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
How to do it
- Prepare the skin and let it settle before base.
- Apply in two thin passes rather than one heavy one.
- Set the centre panel only.
- Finish with a fine mist of setting spray, held far from the face.
The Moroccan adjustment
In coastal humidity accumulated product slides while thin layers stay. For a fourteen-hour Moroccan wedding this is the whole discipline.
What goes wrong
Trying to rescue longevity at the end with more powder or more spray. Neither fixes a base that was applied too thickly.
