To avoid gold jewelry coming into contact with cosmetics when applying makeup, corresponding techniques can be adopted in three stages: before makeup, during makeup, and after makeup. The following is a detailed introduction:
Before applying makeup
Remove the jewelry in advance: This is the most direct and effective method. Before starting your makeup, take off the gold jewelry you are wearing and put it in a special jewelry box or a soft flannel bag to prevent it from coming into contact with your cosmetics. For instance, before applying foundation, eyeshadow and other base makeup products, take off jewelry such as necklaces, earrings and bracelets first. Put them back on after the makeup is done.
Take good care of your jewelry: If it's really inconvenient to remove the jewelry, you can try wrapping it with cling film or clean plastic film. When wrapping, try to fit the shape of the jewelry as closely as possible to avoid leaving any gaps and prevent cosmetics from seeping in. However, this method may affect the comfort of wearing, and for some complex-shaped jewelry, it might not be very convenient to wrap them up.
During the makeup process
Pay attention to the sequence and technique of using cosmetics: Follow the order of skin care first and then makeup, and when applying cosmetics, try to stay away from areas where jewelry is worn. For instance, when applying foundation, you can first sprinkle it on areas such as the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin, and then spread it evenly with a sponge or powder puff to prevent the foundation from splashing onto jewelry. At the same time, when applying eye shadow, blush and other products with a brush, it is also necessary to control the force and direction well to prevent the cosmetics from splashing.
Use isolation tools: You can use special cosmetic tape or adhesive tape to separate the parts of the jewelry that come into contact with the skin. For example, stick a small piece of isolation tape on the area where the earrings are worn to prevent foundation liquid, loose powder, etc. from entering the ear piercing or staining the earrings. For necklaces, you can stick a piece of tape near the neck to play a certain role in isolation. However, it should be noted that when using tape, choose products that are non-irritating to the skin and jewelry, and remove it promptly after makeup to avoid leaving any residue.
Apply makeup precisely with makeup tools: Using fine makeup tools, such as small beauty eggs and detail brushes, can more accurately control the application area of cosmetics and reduce the chance of cosmetics coming into contact with jewelry. For example, when applying lipstick, using a lip brush can more precisely depict the shape of the lips and prevent the lipstick from rubbing against necklaces or bracelets.
After applying makeup
Clean jewelry in time: If cosmetics accidentally get on gold jewelry during makeup, clean it as soon as possible after makeup is done. You can use mild soapy water or a special jewelry cleaner. Soak the jewelry in the cleaning solution for a few minutes, and then gently scrub the surface of the jewelry with a soft-bristled brush to remove any cosmetic residues. Finally, rinse thoroughly with clean water and dry with a soft dry cloth.
Regular professional maintenance: Even if one pays attention to avoiding cosmetic contamination in daily life, gold jewelry still needs professional maintenance after being used for a period of time. Jewelry can be sent to professional jewelry stores for cleaning and inspection on a regular basis. Let professionals use specialized equipment and cleaning agents to conduct a deep cleaning of the jewelry, and at the same time check if there are any problems such as wear and tear or looseness, and repair them in a timely manner.
