Girl, if you work 12-hour shifts, you know how it goes.

You do your face at 5:45 a.m. in a half-dark bathroom. By your first med pass, your foundation is on the inside of your mask. By lunch, your eyeliner is gone, like you never applied and you look like a panda now. By hour eight, your lip colour is on a coffee lid and someone asks if you're feeling okay.

You're fine. You just look like you've been on your feet for eight hours in a mask. Because you have.


There's no time for touch-ups between call lights, and a mask takes anything that sits on top of your skin with it. That's why so many nurses have switched their whole face to Wonderskin's transfer-proof trio: Hyper Bond Foundation, 1440 Eyeliner and the All-Day Lip Stain. Here's what makes them different.

Reason 1

Your foundation stays on your face, not inside your mask


Most foundation sits on top of your skin. Eight hours under a surgical mask and it ends up on the mask, not you: a bare patch across your nose and chin, and a visible line where the edge was pressing.



Hyper Bond All-Day Stay Serum Foundation is built differently. It's waterproof, sweat-proof and transfer-proof, so it stays put through mask changes, a warm unit and a hundred hand-washes, and it feels like nothing on your skin.

Natural, radiant finish. Never cakey. It's infused with skincare actives, non-comedogenic and non-drying, so hour twelve feels like hour one. 20 shades from fair to deep.

Reason 2

Above the mask, your eyes do the talking. Your liner can't smudge.


With a mask on, your eyes are the only part of your face patients and coworkers actually see. A liner that smudges by hour four reads as tired, even when you're not.

1440 Longwear Eyeliner is named for the 1,440 minutes in a day, because that's how long it's built to last. Waterproof, transfer-proof, smudge-proof and budge-proof, through mask steam, watering eyes and the occasional rub.

TruGlide Technology gives it a creamy, tug-free glide, so it goes on in one pass at 5:45 a.m. with no makeup-artist hand required. It sharpens to a fine tip, and it's vegan and cruelty-free.

Reason 3

Lip colour that stays on your lips, not inside your mask


Regular lipstick under an N95 lasts about one patient. Pull the mask down for a sip of water and half of it is on the mask, the rest is a faded ring.

Wonder Blading All-Day Lip Stain works differently. The colour tints the lip itself, then the Activator seals it, so it's wear-tested for up to 10 hours. It's alcohol-free and comes in 19 shades, from barely-there nudes to a proper red.

Mask on, mask off, coffee lid, water bottle. The colour stays on your lips, not on everything else.

Reason 4

Put it on once at home, then forget about it until you clock out


You sanitize your hands dozens of times a shift. You're not going to dig through scrub pockets for a compact, a liner and a mirror between patients, and you shouldn't have to.


That's the point of this routine. Foundation that doesn't transfer to your mask. Liner that doesn't smudge when your eyes water. Lip colour that doesn't come off on a coffee lid. Three products, zero touch-ups.

The only thing you'll reapply during a 12 is hand sanitizer and chapstick. Your face is handled from the moment you badge in until you clock out.

Reason 5

The whole face takes under five minutes, and it looks like you, just more rested


Here's the whole pre-shift routine:

1

Foundation first. A pump of Hyper Bond serum foundation, blended with your fingers. Skin-like coverage that sets and stays put under a mask.

2

Line your eyes. One pass of 1440 along the lash line. It glides on, sets, and doesn't move for the rest of the day.

3

Paint, wait, wipe. Lip stain on, wait 30 seconds, wipe with a damp tissue. Out the door before your coffee finishes brewing.

Keep it unit-appropriate. The foundation comes in 20 shades with a natural, radiant finish that doesn't look like makeup. For liner, Liquorice (jet black) or Kalamata (deep brown) read polished, not dramatic. For lips, Whimsical (warm rose) looks like your natural lip colour on a really good day. Want more? Apply again. The colour builds.
