Tips For A Quick Makeup Touch Up:

• You need not carry your whole makeup kit around just in case you need any touch up. What you need is just the makeup essentials. Lip colour, gloss, eye liner, cold cream or lotion, compact powder or dust, cotton or tissues and most importantly a pocket mirror.

• Lip stick or liquid lip colour is one of the first things to fade. If you are in a party, it is obvious that you will eat or drink for which you will be using your lips. Keep a tube of lip colour handy in your hand bag.

• Blusher is something that may not be mandatory because it does not fade so easily. Once you use some rouge it will stick around stubbornly until you use a makeup remover to clean it. Moreover it takes a lot of time and perfection to get the best blush strokes.

• You need an eyeliner because liner doesn't fade but smudges easily. If you are in a pub with lots of people smoking around your liner will spread due to the smoke. So you need to keep tissues to wipe it and redo it. What gets absorbed into the eyes is kajal or kohl so you need to do a touch up of that.

• The most important thing to understand about touch up makeup is that it not redoing your makeup. You will not be wiping off all your makeup and doing it over again. Ideally it should not take more that 3-5 minutes to utilize some quick makeup tricks.

• If you have oily skin then the skin starts bleeding oil as and when you sweat. So what happens is that you get some really shinny patches on your face, specially on your T-zone. You need to soak that oil with a tissue paper and dab some compact powder on it

• If you have really dry skin and the weather too does not encourage sweating then there is a chance that there will be creases on your lips and caked makeup on your face. It is essential to use lip balm or gloss to cover it up with touch up makeup. Your eye makeup too may become flaky and dry so use lotion on cotton wool to clear it.
