Try These Smudge-Proof Makeup Looks To Wear Under Your Face Mask Post-Circuit Breaker

As face masks become a part of everyday life—for now—here are some tutorials and tips to keep your makeup from smudging or transferring

When the circuit breaker is finally lifted on June 1 and businesses gradually resume in controlled phases, social distancing and wearing face masks will likely continue to be the new normal for the coming months, at least until a vaccine for Covid-19 has been found.
