Stila Founder Shares Her Hack for Makeup That Lasts All Night
**How to Keep Your Makeup Fresh All Night: Tips from a Beauty Legend**
As Nigerians, we know how much we love to get glammed up for special occasions like weddings, festivals, and events. However, one of the biggest challenges we face is keeping our makeup looking fresh and flawless all night long. But what if we told you that there's a secret to making your makeup last all day and night?
Meet Jeanine Lobell, the founder of Stila Cosmetics, a legendary makeup brand of the '90s. With years of experience in the beauty industry, she's now the creative force behind Neen, a brand that's all about colorful, sustainable beauty. We caught up with Lobell to get her expert tips on how to keep your makeup looking its best all night long.
According to Lobell, the key to a long-lasting makeup look is to make sure it can withstand the test of time - literally. Think of it like this: if your makeup can survive a long car ride to a red carpet event, it can probably survive anything. For many Nigerians, this means braving the heat, humidity, and crowded streets of Lagos or Abuja to get to a wedding or event on time. So, if your makeup can handle that, it's a guarantee that it'll last all night long.
One of Lobell's top tips for applying eyeshadow is to use a light hand. "Less is more," she advises. Applying too much eyeshadow can lead to a cakey, heavy look that's hard to maintain all night long. Instead, opt for a light layer and build up your coverage as needed. This is especially useful for Nigerians who love to wear bold, bright eyeshadow colors.
Lobell also recommends applying lip color with a lip brush. This may seem old-school, but trust us, it's a game-changer. Using a lip brush allows you to apply precise amounts of color, which helps prevent feathering and bleeding. Plus, it's a great way to add definition to your lips without looking too done-up.
So, there you have it - expert tips from a beauty legend on how to keep your makeup looking fresh all night long. Whether you're getting ready for a wedding, a festival, or just a night out with friends, these tips are sure to come in handy.
