How to make eyeliner last longer

Eyeliner is a "tool" that many women use. Pretty basic and easy to apply; but making it last? Not so much. So here are some tips to making your eyeliner stay on all day...even when you come home from work.

1) Apply a eyelid primer. You don't have to go and buy a specific primer. Just dab some foundation or concealer on your eyes (This will act as the primer). Then if you wish; just lightly powder it.

2) Apply your eyeliner. If there is a lot of humidity, try using a sweat proof or waterproof eyeliner.

3) IMPORTANT: This is the KEY to making eyeliner last much longer. Take some eyeshadow (same color as eyeliner) and just dab it on your eyeliner. Don't smear it or draw it in a line, just dab it.

Why does that work?

Remember when they say that when you use a cream product, you have to lock it in with powder (ex: foundation then powder). The same rule applies here...and so the eyeshadow will ensure that the eyeliner will stay on much longer.

4) Another really good way is to take some powder and apply it under your eye. This will help your eyeliner stay where it's supposed to be(:

And that's it! I hope this helps you guys!

How to make your makeup last longer

Tired of your makeup smearing, smudging, or sweating off?

Well, no worries, anymore: Here are some tips to prevent makeup meltdown and make your makeup last much longer:

PRIMER:

Your primer is the key to getting long lasting makeup.

What is a primer first off:

It does 3 main things...

a) It gives you a flawless canvas

b) helps create a barrier between skin and makeup (not letting it sink in)

c) your makeup will stay on MUCH, MUCH longer

If you have fine lines and wrinkles that you don't want to be seen; then try a primer with silicone, which is going to fill in those fine lines and wrinkles, so your foundation and other makeup don't cake on and make them apparent.

Try investing in a good primer, because a primer really helps you out. And remember, you really don't need a lot. A little goes a longgg way.

Some cheap ones: Rimmel Fix and Perfect Primer

High end: Urban Decay Primer Potion

Then apply all your normal makeup (foundation, concealer...etc.)

SETTING POWDER:

This is also a CRUCIAL step in making your makeup last longer. (Remember, when you use a liquid/cream substance, you always have to lock it in with powder). You can use regular face powder (adds more coverage) or use translucent powder (won't alter/mess with your makeup)

So just apply a nice, light coat of setting powder...and off you go!

I hope this helps you guys!

Have an amazing day!
