Having Problems with Maskcara? These Tips Can Help!

Are you a Maskcara Beauty (now Seint) makeup user? Are you having a few problems with the products? It can be frustrating investing in new makeup and then not have it work how you want it! So, if you’re having problems with Maskcara, these tips can help!

Texture or Large Pores

If you’re finding that the highlight color is causing texture or accentuating your pores, then nearly 100% of the time it’s because you have the wrong color! The solution is that simple! Your highlight shade may be too light or too dark. When you have the right color for your skin, it will blend nicely and pretty much melt into your face! When you don’t have the correct color, it will give you that added texture and look gross on your face…and we don’t want that!

If the highlight color appears dry or chalky or adds unwanted texture to your face, then the color is too light. Try a shade darker.

If the highlight appears yellowy or orangey, try a shade lighter.

If the highlight melts nicely into your face, then you have the perfect shade!

Color Correcting

You may have different shades on your face. Most women do! You may have redness, melasma, brown spots, or dark circles under your eyes. And if that’s the case, then you will need an additional highlight color or two to help you color correct.

Here’s a simple image helping you find what color you need to minimize those imperfections:

We feel like the best one size fits all color to help you correct is Mango! It works well for dark circles, for deep redness, and for dark spots. You can apply it to the area that you need to color correct and let it sit. Then you can go over with your normal highlight color. Give it a try!

Warm or Cold Weather

Since Maskcara 3D foundation is cream, it can melt! So, in the warmer months, your makeup may appear extra loose. In the colder months, it will be harder. You might notice that it’s easier to apply when it’s at a good room temperature. If your makeup gets too cold in the winter, then you can take your blow dryer and lightly blow it for a few seconds for it to get a little looser.

Makeup Sliding Off

Are you having problems with Maskcara foundation sliding off your face?? It’s most likely because you put moisturizer or a primer on before and it needs to soak in better. If you use the Milk Moisturizer or another moisturizer before applying your makeup, then make sure you give it a good few minutes to really absorb into your skin. This will help your makeup apply better and stay on better!

You also might need to set your makeup. You can use the Maskcara Stay Setting Spray or a powder or both! This will help your makeup stay on all day.

Too Oily/Shiny

Is your face appearing extra oily or shiny by the end of the day? Since Maskcara makeup is cream, it will definitely add a dewy look to your face. But if you have oily prone skin, then you will need to set your makeup with a powder to absorb that excess oil.

We love the Vanilla Dust Setting Powder! It’s best applied with the Power Powder Brush. You can press the powder exactly where you want it. Or you can use a loose powder like Airspun. A good trick is to let it “bake”. After you apply your highlight, contour, and blush, take a good amount of loose powder with a brush or sponge and dab it on the areas of your face that are extra oily. Then let it sit for a few minutes to really let it absorb the oil. After a few minutes, you can take the B Squared Bronzer and Blush Brush to brush away the excess powder. You will be left with a nice matte look and your makeup should stay all day and you shouldn’t be shiny!

If you’re having problems with Maskcara makeup, don’t give up! Give a few of these tips a try and see if it works better for you. If you have specific questions, email us HERE and we’ll help you troubleshoot! We want to make sure you are happy with your investment and feel beautiful in your skin.

The Best Foundation for Dark Skin

It can be really hard finding makeup foundation that will match your skin beautifully! There are so many makeup brands out there from liquid to powder. And it seems like every brand is missing key colors. It’s nearly impossible to find a shade that matches your skin exactly. But Maskcara 3D foundation has gotten pretty close! Here’s the best foundation for dark skin that goes on like butter and enhances your beauty!

Maskcara 3D Foundation

First of all, what is Maskcara 3D foundation?? Most beauty stores carry liquid or powder foundations. But Maskcara’s 3D foundation is cream! It’s designed in 4 different shades (highlight, contour, blush, and illuminator). You apply the colors exactly where you need it instead of putting layer upon layer when you get a cakey thick finish. We want you to enhance your beauty, not cover it up! This foundation was meant to add dimension, shadow, and shape to your face!

And you darker women aren’t excluded! Maskcara 3D foundation has darker shades that will show up beautifully on your skin. The highlights will help even out your skin tone, the contours will add dimension to your cheekbones, and the blush will add a gorgeous flush to your cheeks.

Darker Foundation Shades

It’s frustrating not being able to find foundation and makeup that matches nicely to your skin coloring! But with these darker foundation shades, you’re bound to find something that complements your coloring!

Get Great Coverage with 3D Foundation

Are you tired of putting your foundation on each day just to look ok? You put that time in and invest in the products and you still feel mediocre? Or you feel like your foundation is too heavy or too thick or not enough or too blah? Does it make you look lifeless? Yup….most foundations do that! We’re using one color to cover up that beautiful face of yours! No more! Enter 3D foundation. It’s the new lifechanging (and we don’t say that lightly!) foundation that will transform your face, give you the great coverage, add that femininity, and enhance your natural beauty. Here’s how!

What is 3D Foundation?

Ok, what is this stuff we’re talking about?? You know when you go to a beauty store and they have rows and rows of foundation colors. From liquid to cream to powder. The options are endless. But what’s not cool about those options are that they all have one thing in common. They all put one color on your entire face and cover up your beauty! Sure, you might actually want that great coverage. But do you really want to only have one color on your face? It makes you look lifeless. It diminishes your natural shapes and shadows. And it’s not flattering. Sorry, someone had to say it.

But with 3D foundation, you are creating shape and shadows and dimension on your face. You are bringing life back into it and enhancing your beautiful features. This foundation includes your highlight color (which is your skin’s color), contour (to give you the shadows), blush (to give you that natural flush), and illuminator (to give you that pretty glow).

How to Use 3D Foundation?

Now, how do you ues this stuff?? All foundations are applied on the entire face to even out your skin tone and give you great coverage. But with 3D foundation, each foundation single is your foundation but it’s just in different colors. You apply the highlight, contour, blush, and illuminator just where you need it. You don’t apply layer over layer. You apply your highlight on your forehead, nose, chin, under your eyes, and jawline. You apply your contour under your cheekbones, under your jawline, and on your hairline. You apply your blush on the apples of your cheeks. You apply your illuminator on the top of your cheekbones. And once you’re done, your entire face has great coverage but also has shape and dimension. You just created a masterpiece!

Each foundation single comes in an individual tin. You put them in a customized compact and replace as needed! The best way to apply the cream foundation is with a great makeup brush. You can find our favorite brushes HERE!

How to Pick Your 3D Foundation Colors?

Doesn’t that sound beautiful? Doesn’t that sound much better than a flat face of foundation?? We want that femininity and we’re thinking you do too! But how do you go about picking your colors? How do you know what will complement your skin tones? That’s what we’re here to help you do!

There’s a few ways you can reach out to us. If you want just a very basic idea of what colors will look great on you, you can take our quick Color Match Quiz HERE. If you want more detailed help, you can take our quiz questionnaire HERE. If you want direct help, then send us a selfie of your beautiful face! Simply find a window with natural lighting, face it, take a few steps back outside of the harsh light, snap a picture of your makeup free face, and email it to us HERE.

This makeup is lifechanging. It really brings out a woman’s natural beauty. It highlights her features. It’s just the best!

How Long Does Maskcara Last?

So, you’ve heard all the great things about Maskcara makeup. You might have even seen some pretty cool tutorials on how to HAC. But, we know you have a question…it’s ok, don’t be shy. What you really want to know is how long does Maskcara last? Well, we’ll tell you!

Once you find a good thing, you want it! And that’s how we feel about Maskcara! We want it and love it. But we don’t want to waste money on something we love. We want to make sure it lasts. We want to make sure our investment is well worth it.

Highlight

Highlight colors are your basic foundation and skin color. It’s the product that you’ll use the most. Highlight lasts 3-4 months, depending on how much coverage you want. Highlight is placed on your forehead, nose, under eye area, chin, and cheek.

Contour

In our opinion, contour is the magic behind the HAC process! It usually lasts 3-6 months. You apply your contour color just under your cheekbones, your forehead, your jawline, and on the sides of your nose.

Lip & Cheek

Lip & cheek color, or aka blush, can last a long time because a little goes a long way! These colors are so pigmented and beautiful. They usually last 6-12 months.

Illuminator

Oh how we love illuminator! It makes a woman glow! Illuminator lasts 12 months because you don’t need a lot to get that dewy look.

Eyeshadows

Did you know that Maskcara eyeshadows contain more product than other competitors? It’s true! So these eyeshadows will last a loooong time! And we mean a long time. Like 1-2 years long. Just make sure to clean the makeup surface to avoid harboring bacteria and spreading germs to your face. These are so great for getting the job done!

How to Make it Last

If you find that you’re going through your makeup super fast, then you might want to try these tips to make it last longer:

• Wash your makeup brushes once a week! When you use a dirty brush, it soaks up the product faster. And wouldn’t you much rather have the product on your face than on your brush?! This brush cleaner is da bomb!! It makes cleaning your makeup brushes so easy and so simple.
• Use less product. Maskcara makeup has great coverage and a little goes a long way. You want to create a second skin, not add tons of product on your face to make it look like a layered mess.

And there you have it. Now aren’t you glad you asked?! Not only does Maskcara have awesome products, but awesome products that last a long time. It’s well worth the investment. Click HERE to shop now! You know you want to…..
