If you want to add a nod to the colors of Argentina without performing complicated makeup, this step-by-step offers an easy, chic version designed to withstand the excitement of the game.
There are jerseys, flags and superstitions that never fail when the national team plays. But this time, the light blue and white also translate into makeup. An eyeliner in tones inspired by the Argentina jersey can be the perfect detail to complete the look without sacrificing practicality or longevity, especially on a day when emotion is guaranteed.
The key is to properly prep the skin and choose products that last through the entire match, even if tears of joy begin to appear.
Preparing the skin, the first step for makeup to last longer
Before thinking about colors, it’s worth taking a few minutes to prepare the skin. A good hydration helps makeup apply more evenly and maintain a natural finish for longer, even without primer.
In winter this step becomes even more important, since cold temperatures tend to promote dryness. Well-hydrated skin allows makeup to look better from start to finish of the game.
An even, long-wear base
To achieve a uniform finish, the next step is applying foundation and concealer. Here, Avon suggests using the Power Stay line: its cream foundation offers high coverage, a matte finish, is transfer-resistant, and promises up to 24 hours of wear. To complete the tone matching, the liquid concealer from the same line provides a natural finish, oil-free and resistant to heat and humidity for up to 18 hours.
As a final tip, setting the makeup with a mattifying pressed powder helps even out the skin tone, reduce shine, and extend the life of the look.
The star of the look: an eye look inspired by the Argentina jersey
The detail that transforms the makeup lies in the eyes. The Power Stay gel eyeliner pencil, available in cobalt blue and turquoise, allows you to create an intense liner thanks to its high pigmentation and long wear. In addition to the classic liner, it can also be smudged on the lid to achieve a shadow-like effect.
The chosen color can be inspired by either the home jersey or the team’s alternate. Those seeking a more creative look can add a graphic liner with nods to Argentine fileteado or combine both shades to give more dimension to the gaze.
As a final touch, a metallic gold eyeliner applied to the inner corner adds brightness and includes a subtle homage to the Sun of May.
A mascara that resists all the emotion
No long-wear makeup is complete without giving the lashes their moment. The Power Stay mascara delivers up to nine times more volume, has a formula resistant to water, heat, and humidity, and its curved brush helps reach all lashes without clumping.
Thus, the makeup stays intact even if the game ends with hugs, celebrations… or tears of emotion.
A simple look to live the final in Argentina colors
You don’t need an elaborate makeup to join the final’s mood. With well-prepared skin, a liner in albiceleste tones, and products designed to last, it’s possible to wear the team’s colors in a subtle, modern, and easy-to-recreate way.
