  1. Prep: Cleanse, Moisturize, SPF

    Start with clean, moisturized skin and a broad-spectrum sunscreen. Good prep makes makeup glide and last longer. You can keep things simple with gentle hydrators and lightweight SPF from trusted skincare lines like La Roche-Posay and CeraVe.

  2. Prime for Staying Power

    A lightweight primer smooths texture and helps control shine—ideal for humid days. For an even, long-wear canvas, pair your primer with shine-controlling bases from Maybelline Fit Me range or pore-blurring options from L’Oréal Paris.

  3. Even the Base

    Apply tinted moisturizer or foundation sparingly, then spot-conceal under eyes and on blemishes. Blend with a damp sponge for a skin-like finish. For everyday coverage, explore breathable foundations and concealers from Revlon base makeup or Maybelline complexion products.

  4. Set Strategically

    Press a small amount of translucent powder on the T-zone to reduce creasing and shine while keeping the rest of the skin fresh. Oil-prone areas especially benefit from soft-focus setting powders like those in Zaron’s face collection.

  5. Soft Definition

    Brush up brows, add a neutral eyeshadow, a coat of mascara, and a natural blush. A subtle highlighter on cheekbones adds glow without grease. Try easy-to-blend palettes and mascara from Divas Cosmetics or glow-enhancing highlighters from Farmasi for that soft everyday definition.

  6. Lips to Finish

    Choose a hydrating lipstick or gloss in a nude or berry tone that complements your undertone. Reapply after meals. You can keep lips comfortable and polished with satin lipsticks and glosses from Maybelline, bold colour options from Zaron, or pair them with nourishing balms from Nivea lip care.

Keep it simple, breathable, and long-wear. Build your everyday kit—primer, base, powder, mascara, blush, and lip—then tweak shades for work or weekends. Explore curated makeup picks at Beauty Duty Kenya.
