Make makeup last longer

Question

My makeup always comes off before I even get to school. What do I do to make it last longer!?

Answer 1

I have the same problem.

I haven't been able to fix it at all...but one thing that does help is using Laura Gellers Spackle primer. Depending on your skin type you should try and find a primer(sephora has really good ones apparently). You can also try mixing your foundation with a little bit of moisturizer and setting it with a long lasting powder(such as Revlons Colorstay) it might help you. As for making your eyeshadow last longer there is an amazing Revlon eye primer for pigments(its cheap) or the Urban Decay eye primer.

For lipstick and lip gloss you can try the Laura Geller lip primer( there is actually something called Laura Geller Spackle Trio at sephora, and its an eye primer, lip primer, and foundation primer all together for about 30 dollars)

You should check out makeupalley.com for reviews of primers and long lasting foundations.

I hope it helps

Answer 2

It all depends on your face and the quality of makeup.

I mean when you put on your foundation for example, always put powder over top to seal it in. Don't touch your face a lot when you have makeup on. The oils from your hands can smudge or remove it. If you have bangs or long hair, that could interfere as well. Also the temperature can have a lot to do with it, obviously. I find if you apply foundation first, seal it with powder, then do you eyes and lips and such, it will stay much better, because it has a base.

Make sure the eyeliner you buy, it somewhat good quality, because I found on my face crappy eyeliners faded before I even got home from school. I use Revelon Colorstay. Just try different products and talk to some people. Also now your skin, and try to find products which blend with it. I always carry a mini powder or lipgloss with me as well for touch ups, because by the end of the day it won't look as good. Good luck!

Answer 3

Smashbox Face Primer, 'Photofinish Primer' it really makes your makeup stick..

It also could be the makeup you're using, try something different. If what you use is very cheap, that might be the problem. You get what you pay for. If not, try the primer.

Good Luck! Hope I Helped <3

Use a primer, there a quite a few drugstore primers out there such as Sally Hansen Luminizing Face Primer and Revlons Primer.

Set with powder, pressed or loose.

I use Airspun Loose Powder.
