Quick tips on long-lasting makeup

Putting on makup can be fun, but it becomes much less fun when you worry about it smuging and having to reapply it all day long.  The good news is that there is something you can do and, best of all, they're all pretty easy to do. Here's a few tips to help you out!


Want Long Lasting...:

• ...Foundation?  Then make sure your skin is moisturized before applying any makeup, use a primer before your foundation, and set your foundation in place with some powder.  
• ...Lipstick?  Use a lipliner pencil; It doesn't have to match the lipstick but be similar to your natural lip shade. After applying lipstick, take a tissue paper and hold it against your lips lightly. Apply some powder and voila! 

Yes, it looks weird.

• ...Eyeshadow? Find a good quality primer and apply before putting on your eyeshadow. It should stay in place all day long.  Not all eye primers are made the same so be sure to look for one with good durability. 
• ...Eyeliner? If you don't feel comfortable enough using liquid eyeliner yet, then using gel or pencil eyeliner can work just as well. Want to keep it from smudging all the time? find an eyeshadow of the same shade and lighly press it over the eyeliner. It even works on your waterline!
• ...Eyebrows? If your eyebrows need enhancing from pencils and powders to look like the exsist, then be sure to use some clear mascara.

Finished result!
