Boise Hair Salon Tips For Wearing A Mask

At this point during the year, many of us have adjusted our daily beauty routines for when we go in public. That’s why it’s important to know the best practices for maintaining your skin, hair, and makeup during the pandemic. Therefore the Boise hair salon stylists at unDONE would like to provide you with the following tips to help you effectively look and feel your best while wearing a mask.

Prep Your Skin

Any skincare professional will tell you that prepping your skin is an important step when it comes to your makeup routine. Start by caring for your skin each night when you’re not wearing a mask. At unDONE, we recommend smoothing on a nourishing serum before bed to make your skin feel fresh and rejuvenated the next day. We also recommend using a non-irritating SPF face cream during the day to prep and protect your skin from harmful UV rays.

Set Your Foundation & Concealer

Many of us are skipping makeup altogether if we don’t leave the house. However, wearing makeup beneath a mask can cause it to rub off onto the cloth or material your mask is made of.  While there’s not a whole lot you can do about that, you can add a protective barrier between your makeup and mask by setting your foundation and concealer with a translucent powder or setting spray.

Keep Your Lips Hydrated

Since your mouth is hidden beneath a mask, many of us are skipping lipstick altogether. However, it’s important to keep your lips hydrated throughout the day by applying a nourishing lip balm. This will ensure your lips look and feel their best when you take your mask off at the end of the day.

Accentuate Your Eyes

The one area of your face that’s still visible when you wear a mask is your eyes. That’s why you’ll want to accentuate them as best as possible since it is the first area people will see when they look at you. A great way of doing this is to apply eyeliner around your eyes and wear plenty of mascara for added definition. If you’re not a makeup person or just don’t want to deal with the hassle every day, you can opt for eyelash extensions that only need to be maintained every 3-4 weeks. At unDONE, we can add length and volume to your eyelashes for noticeably longer, darker, fuller eyelashes to compliment your look.

Maintain Your Eyebrows

Even if you don’t have time to apply makeup every day, it’s important to maintain your eyebrows as they are an essential part of your facial expression that people can see while you’re wearing a mask. That’s why you’ll want them to look their absolute best. Not only do eyebrows frame your eyes, but they can also leave you looking angry, mad, surprised, or scared if they aren’t symmetrical to your face.

So what can you do about your eyebrows if they aren’t as thick as you want or you’re tired of dealing with the hassle of drawing and filling them in every day? Kick your eyebrows into high gear with semi-permanent powder brows at unDONE Salon. Our trained and certified powder brow expert, Annie Bradshaw, can help you create natural-looking eyebrows using an electric pen to lightly deposit medical-grade color on top of your natural brow shape to provide you with an even and equal look.

Maintain Your Hair

Wearing a mask can rub the back of your hair or cause your strands to get caught in them. This constant irritation can make you feel uncomfortable throughout the day and cause hair breakage. However, you don’t have to sacrifice a cute hairstyle to wear a mask. Instead, the Boise hair salon stylists at unDONE suggest mixing up the way you tie your mask to prevent it from tangling or flattening your hair. There are also plenty of hairstyles you can rock while wearing a mask. These include messy buns, braids, high ponytails, and more. Not sure what style will look best on your?
