For ladies that put on make-up, this tip can’t get any simpler or more frugal. And you’ll love this so much you’ll want to throw away those expensive alcohol-filled toners!
What you’ll need: One ice-cube.
How to do it: After washing your face with a cleanser (or some baking soda), rub an ice cube over skin for a few minutes. Then pat the cool skin dry, and apply your foundation, followed by the rest of your make-up as normal.
What you’ll get: Long-lasting make-up that looks great throughout the day. Foundation will also spread more evenly, and look more natural.
Why this helps: The cold ice closes pores very quickly. Closed pores lend to a super-smooth skin surface, and make-up is able to glide on easily.

I love this the most! Coz I’ve been doing it and it works. Extremely helpful on hot days to keep your make-up from melting.

Another tip is to apply a small amount of a shielding lotion before putting on the foundation. It will help in protecting your skin from developing an allergic reaction to any of make-up ingredients, will keep the skin hydrated and make evening face clean-up easier.
