Here’s how your makeup and face mask can practice social distancing.
The “New Normal” may be an overused term right now, but it is as real as it gets. Whilst we are all adjusting to our work routines, we also need to start tweaking our beauty and makeup routines accordingly. Some of you may be contemplating what even is the point of even wearing makeup when half your face is hidden under that mask. Think of it this way: dressing up while working from home (or running to the supermarket) and applying some makeup can give a sense of normalcy during these uncertain times.
Given that we live in one of the most tropical countries, we can’t escape the sweat and heat though. And fearing that your makeup can leave a stain on your mask is a real thing. Whilst wearing a face mask is essential right, there are certain downfalls of having to wear one round-the-clock. Yes, your foundation easily gets trapped onto your face mask, and then it looks ugly unless the foundation is transfer-proof. We’ve rounded up 6 best transfer-proof foundations you can get in Bangkok to glam up and keep that stain away from your face mask.
