Eyecharlene's Top 10 Transfer-Proof Makeup Picks for Masks

Eyecharlene's Top 10 Transfer-Proof Makeup Picks for Masks

Charlene Wiyarand, better known as Eyecharlene on Instagram, is a fashion and beauty blogger who frequently posts her comfy outfits that are perfectly matched with the seasons. Nowadays, you'll also see her sporting her mask on, with still-flawless makeup. Seeing this, and her passion for fashion, we decided to reach out to ask her for her tried and true products for no-transfer makeup.

She says, "Ever since wearing a mask has become mandatory, I realize that I can't just start grabbing any tinted lip gloss and walk out the door just to realize that it has rubbed off on my mask! 

Don't get me wrong, masks are absolutely a must for protecting yourself and others around you so throwing away my mask isn't an option. These makeup products I am about to recommend here will make sure you can a perfect mask-proof makeup day!"

    Airbrush Flawless Setting Spray

    Charlene Wiyarand

    This is hands down the strongest makeup setting spray ever - it's even better than popular brands, such as Urban Decay, Morphe, or Skindinavia. This sets your makeup so that it lasts all day. 

    I have tested this with eyeshadow, eyeliner, blush, and foundation and found that there is no transfer of your makeup to your mask when using this setting spray. It is truly an amazing product! Use this as the last step of your makeup routine by spraying the bottle six to eight inches away from your face and waiting until it sets completely.

    Hourglass
    Veil Mineral Primer

    Charlene Wiyarand

    This primer feels so silky smooth on the skin, making your pores look much smaller and your skin that much smoother. On days when you don't feel like wearing foundation under your mask, just wear this SPF primer to make your skin look flawless. 

    When you use this with your foundation, your skin texture and pores will look like they're nonexistent! And there is barely any transfer onto your mask. I am actually on my second bottle of this, and this will always be my favorite primer.

    Dior
    BACKSTAGE Face & Body Foundation

    Charlene Wiyarand

    My preference for foundation is lightweight and natural-looking, but long-lasting. This foundation has all these qualities! The consistency is thin, so it feels like you're not wearing makeup. The coverage is light but can be built to medium coverage, so it covers any dark spots very nicely. Plus, it never looks cakey!

    You can wear this and top it with a powder to get a full 10 to 12 hours of wear! It's very long-lasting and is definitely mask-proof! This foundation also has fragrance, but it isn't too strong and it virtually disappears after you put it on.

    Tarte
    Shape Tape Contour Concealer

    Charlene Wiyarand

    This concealer is a cult favorite for a reason. When you want your concealer to last all day with zero fading, you can always trust this to pull through. It truly helps conceal under-eye bags and any imperfections on your skin. It is a tad bit drying though, so be sure to use a thick eye cream beforehand.

    This product does not need a setting powder because it dries down matte and dries quickly, too! To put it on, you should work on one eye at a time and blend it in quickly. I love using this concealer with a damp beauty sponge for my undereye and dark spots and sometimes even as a contour!

    Make Up For Ever
    Matte Velvet Skin Blurring Powder Foundation

    Charlene Wiyarand

    This powder is amazing because it makes skin look airbrushed. You can use this as a foundation or use a fluffy powder brush to set it on top of your foundation or concealer and it'll still look great. 

    This powder blurs pores and covers redness perfectly and there is barely any transfer on masks! And don't worry about acne - in my personal experience, it hasn't caused any breakouts. Because this is a powder, make sure to moisturize your face well beforehand if you need to use this as a foundation.

    Buxom
    Wanderlust Primer-Infused Blush

    Charlene Wiyarand

    This is my all-time holy grail blush! It applies so beautifully and stays on the skin all day because it is infused with primer. And although it is a powder, it contains hyaluronic acid, which can draw moisture to the skin and give skin a healthy glow! 

    These blushes blend into the skin so seamlessly that you would think that it's cream-based. They never look powdery on the skin at all! I recommend the Seychelles color for everyday use. It's a pretty nude-ish brown-pink color that's perfect for all occasions.

    Benetint Rose Lip & Cheek Tint

    Charlene Wiyarand

    Use this cheek tint under powder blush for an extra long-lasting effect. This cheek and lip tint looks amazing on bare skin when you just want a natural flush on a no-makeup day. 

    It also wears very well over foundation and concealer and before powder. The texture is watery and the colors are sheer at first, but you can layer on more if you want a deeper color. Since it won't come off on hot sweaty days, it's also perfect for using in the summertime.

    Physicians Formula
    Murumuru Butter Bronzer

    Charlene Wiyarand

    My favorite shade of this powder is called "Bronzer." It is very natural looking and leaves a healthy subtle sheen on the skin. There is no glitter in the product, so your skin will look nice, natural, and healthy with no orange tone to it. 

    The bronzer feels buttery on the skin and blends in smoothly. It also has a pleasant tropical coconut-y smell. For a mask-proof method, I typically contour with a darker concealer then go on top with this bronzer.

    stila
    Stay All Day Waterproof Liquid Eye Liner

    Charlene Wiyarand

    I have used this eyeliner since I was in high school and still go back to it when I need eyeliner to stay on all day. My eyes tend to water from allergies and this eyeliner never disappoints. It's 100% waterproof, smudge-proof, and doesn't peel or feather off. 

    The color is matte black and so easy to apply with the felt tip. If you're not good at drawing a cat eye, this is perfect for you. Although it's waterproof, it does wash off very well with makeup remover so you don't have to rub your eyes too hard when taking it off.

    Maybelline
    SuperStay Matte Ink Liquid Lipstick

    Charlene Wiyarand

    Liquid lipsticks are very long-lasting, but they tend to dry out the lips, which makes it a bit uncomfortable to wear. However, these are different! These liquid lipsticks don't feel drying at all. 

    The colors are very pigmented and don't dry quickly, so you can take your time applying the colors or use your fingers to spread the product out for a more natural finish. The applicator is also very easy to use and can give you a precise line. 

    They are the only lipsticks I use under my mask now because others will often smudge. I actually own these in seven colors!
