Maskcara Makeup for Normal Skin

Maskcara 3D cream foundation works great on any skin type. But, if you have normal skin, then you’re extra lucky! You have less troubleshooting to do when applying this makeup. So, here’s a guide for how to apply Maskcara makeup for normal skin so you can look your best!

Normal Skin Prep

It’s crucial to have a good skin care routine. Having healthy skin is key for makeup application. You don’t want to use makeup to coverup unhealthy skin. Get that skin looking and feeling great and then enhance it with makeup! So, make sure to cleanse, tone, and moisturize daily and apply a mask a few times a week. You can learn more about proper skin care HERE. Also, make sure to drink lots of water! It does wonders for the skin!

Normal Skin Application

Since you have normal skin, you don’t have to be too picky with your application process. If you want more moisture in your skin, then apply moisturizer before you put your makeup on. But, it’s important to let any moisturizer absorb into your skin for a good 5 minutes. If you apply your makeup right away, it may slide right off and not stay properly.

If you want your makeup to last all day, you can spray your face before applying your makeup with a Setting Spray. These are great ones HERE. Just wait for the setting spray to dry before you apply your makeup.

Once you’re ready to apply your makeup, use a brush to give you the best results. You can learn all about the different Maskcara makeup brushes HERE. There are so many options and they all work great!  My personal faves and the ones I use daily are: Bronzer + Blush Brush, Buffy Brush, I Shadow Everything Brush, Hotline Brush.

Normal Skin Finishing

After you’re done looking pretty, it’s time to set your makeup to ensure that it lasts all day! If you want a matte look, then you can use a powder to set. This is a great one HERE. If you want a dewy glow, then skip the powder. You can also set your makeup with a setting spray. Maskcara has two great options HERE.

If you want Maskcara makeup to look great on you, then just play around until you find the best formula for you. Everyone is different and has different needs and preferences. Have fun!

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.

Maskcara (Seint) Troubleshooting Tips

Hello there! Maybe you’re new to Maskcara and you’re still getting your groove. Or maybe you’ve been using the Maskcara (it is now called Seint) products for a while and have mastered the techniques. Either way, I’m sure you’ve come across a few problems trying to get the makeup to work just right for you. It’s a learning curve and sometimes it takes lots of trial and error before you figure out what works best for you. Here are some things that I’ve come across that have been helpful for me or others I work with. Here are some basic Maskcara Troubleshooting tips:

Smooth Surface

Make sure to exfoliate a few times a week to have a nice smooth surface to work with. It’s crucial to moisturize your skin to make it nice and hydrated. This will ensure that your skin isn’t dry and flakey. Also, get rid of that peach fuzz! Use a facial razor to remove any extra unwanted hair you have on your face. With these steps, your makeup will go on flawlessly and make your skin glow!

Slippery Makeup

Are you having a hard time with your makeup sticking to your face? Then you might want to try moisturizing just at night and not in the morning. Sometimes the added moisture makes it harder for the cream foundation to adhere to. Or, make sure you apply your moisturizer and let it soak in for a good 10 minutes before you apply your makeup.

Disappearing Contour

Is your contour color disappearing by the end of the day? Try shading up to a darker color.

Oily Skin Problems

Having oily skin and using a cream foundation can be a bit tricky. Here are a few ways that you might want to try if you’re having a hard time staying dry all day.

• Spray  Stay  Setting Spray before and after applying makeup
• Stay spray can be applied heavily (it’s ok for it to be dripping). You can let it air dry before applying your makeup, rub it in with your hands, or start applying your makeup with your face wet. Try what works best for you!
• Spray Stay onto your Perfector Sponge and blend your makeup.
• Apply highlight, contour, blush, first and then spray with Stay Spray. Then apply the Vanilla Pressed Powder & illuminator last.
• If all else fails, try a loose translucent powder to help absorb your extra facial oils. Let it set on your skin and “bake” before you brush off the excess powder.

Makeup Application

Use a light hand. You can always add more product. Start off with a light coat.

Try to apply the makeup in a stipple motion instead of wiping.

Highlight Problems

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

If highlight appears yellowy, try a shade lighter.

Tips for Tools

Make sure you soak and absorb your Perfector Sponge in water and wring it out completely. You want it to be light and fluffy.

Clean your brushes weekly. Find out how HERE.

This makeup can work for so many skin colors, skin tones, and skin types! It’s just a matter of trial and error and figuring out what works best for your skin. Hopefully these Maskcara Troubleshooting tips will help you! Don’t be discouraged or afraid to try different techniques. Email us if you have any questions!
