Long-Lasting Beauty

Your face was flawless at that 9AM meeting – but by that client dinner? Thanks to humidity and high temps, that’s a different story.

Luckily, more cosmetics companies are making long-lasting looks a priority.

This lightweight Revlon face primer will keep your makeup in place – the same goes for this Urban Decay eye shadow primer. Plus, they can be worn alone for a fresh look that evens skin tone.

For foundation that stays in place, consider one with a micro-flex formula like Maybelline’s. It’ll have you covered for 24 hours.

The best lipstick doesn’t require obsessive checking and reapplying. Opting for Tarte’s moisturizing lip stain gives you a chic, matte look without drying.

For more color that won’t feather, bleed or fade, consider this long-lasting Covergirl base and topcoat combo that’ll stay put for 16 hours.

Avoid flaking, smudging mascara that gives you raccoon eyes by 5PM. Bobbi Brown’s waterproof mascara is longwearing – and safe for contact wearers.

Try dabbing a translucent powder onto lashes and skin so makeup won’t slip off by midday. Prime lips with a thin layer of foundation before applying lipstick.

Others in-the-know recommend products like Benefit’s She Laq primer and Too Faced’s First Base powder for seriously extended wear.
