5 Post-Pandemic Makeup Routine Tips with 3CE

The COVID-19 pandemic has affected our daily lives in every way possible. Virtual learning, work-from-home setups, online shopping, and home workouts have been our lives for the past year. Unfortunately, there is nothing more we can do to adapt to our so-called “new normal.” Of course, our makeup routines are not immune to the change.

During the pandemic, makeup sales plummeted since everyone is staying at home. Most women only put light makeup to make them presentable enough during their Zoom meetings and online classes. However, the post-pandemic period gave them some sort of hope. Even though dermatologists discourage heavy makeup application, not because masks cover almost your entire face, but because of increased risk for skin issues.

Don’t worry! We are here to help you simplify your beauty regimen during this period. We will provide you with helpful tips, along with Korean makeup products you can use for your post-pandemic makeup routine. Let’s get into it!

1. Prioritize your skincare routine at all costs.

Wearing face masks can protect us from the virus, but it’s a different case for our skin. Our skin is exposed to friction, heat, and moisture under the mask. The constant rubbing can irritate our skin, and when combined with the moist environment, your skin is just waiting for acne to develop. Many people also shower and wash their faces more often, which can dry the skin. Having an excellent daytime and nighttime skincare routine will protect and keep your skin looking healthy and glowing.

• Utilize BB and CC creams.

We are pretty sure you are familiar with BB and CC creams, but most people do not know their meaning and differences. BB cream stands for “blemish balm,” which is usually lighter than a foundation with excellent coverage. It also contains nourishing ingredients for the skin. On the other hand, CC cream stands for “color correcting,” which is ideal for people who have lots of dark spots and marks. It also provides better coverage than BB creams.

We recommend using BB and CC creams because foundations are much thicker and heavier than these creams. Heat and moisture under the mask can melt your foundation, leading to pore-clogging and mask contamination. Avoid it from happening by using high-quality BB cream like 3CE Back to Baby BB Cream. It contains highly moisturizing ingredients, and its formula prevents oxidation.

• Up your eye makeup game

As it is the only area visible when you wear a mask, you have to do your best as it is the most prominent part of your face. We all know the struggle of applying eye makeup, so you have to take advantage of this time to do every trend that you missed from the past years. Once we go back to our old normal, your eye makeup game will be exceptional. If you are new to eyeliners and all the basics in eye makeup, you should use 3CE Super Slim Pen Eye Liner. It comes with fine bristles to make application easier.

• Multi-purpose products will be your new best friend.

Lipsticks became a little irrelevant during the pandemic, but it does not mean that you need to abandon your lips. Using multi-purpose products like tinted lip balms will save you during this period. If you love cute products, you should check out 3CE’s Heart Pot Lip. It comes in a heart-shaped container that contains an exceptional formula to nourish and moisturize the lips to prevent them from drying and flaking.

• Keep your look natural.

Women have started to ditch colorful makeup products for neutral shades. Opting for natural and neutral shades will lessen touch-ups under the mask. Even before the pandemic, women started are already into a natural no-makeup makeup look. This trend will continue even after the post-pandemic period, so make sure you master it!

Conclusion

The extravagant look era has already passed. As health and wellness become people’s priorities, keeping everything simple and natural is the newest trend. Performing your skincare consistently will keep your skin healthy, while using lightweight products to avoid acne will prevent your skin from breaking out during this period. Follow these simple tips, so you do not have to go bare-faced outside again.
