After all, graduation marks an important part of life and it is essential to feel beautiful on the day and also comfortable. Next, check out many inspirations for you to rock the party!

How to choose the best makeup for graduation

It is true that when it comes to makeup, there is a huge variety to choose from. And if you still have doubts about which lipstick to use, whether you prefer a more opaque shade or a fuller shine, you can rest assured: here you will know several tips and, thus, discover the best makeup for you.

• Hydrate the skin before makeup: hydration is essential. It leaves the face with more freshness, preventing that “crackled” effect that can appear hours after the products are applied.
• Do a test before: it is very important to apply the products days before the party to test. That way you will know if the makeup really suits your style.
• Take advantage of the test to try different hairstyles: this time is also ideal for you to evaluate how your hair can look with the chosen makeup.
• Use quality products: remember that at graduation you can get emotional or you can feel hot, for example. So it is essential to use products with good durability. Therefore, it is worth investing in specific products, such as high coverage foundation and waterproof mascara.
• Primer and fixing mist are great allies: the primer is able to even out the skin, close the pores, reduce oiliness and, of course, make the makeup last longer. The fixing mist, as its name suggests, makes the entire production remain intact for longer.
• Combine, or not, the color of the eyeshadow with the color of the dress: in this case, you choose! There is no rule for this, so what counts is your taste.
• If possible, invest in a makeup artist: with their experience, this professional is able to highlight the most beautiful aspects of your face and still manage to disguise some imperfections. But if that’s not possible, that’s fine. There are quality products on the market and, with some skill, you can produce beautiful makeup.

Oh, and don’t forget: actually, there is no ideal makeup for a particular event. The best makeup will be the one that will work best for you, according to your face shape as well as your taste. It’s no use doing makeup that’s trendy, but that’s not your style. Graduation is unique. So invest in a production for you to feel great!
