15 Longwear Makeup Products That'll Last All Day
There's nothing more frustrating than wiping off half of your lipstick after a sip of coffee or smearing a flawless cat eye that took precious time to achieve. You'll need the best smudge-proof makeup money can buy in your stash if you can't be bothered with constantly retouching your look throughout the day.
Your beauty products have some pretty tough odds to beat at any given moment. Maybe you're plagued with super oily skin that attempts to wash away your product. Perhaps the blazing sun is your worst enemy, daring to smear your face with every bead of sweat that pops up. Even getting through a simple meal can threaten to erase your makeup. No matter the circumstances, it's obvious that long-lasting makeup products can be the difference between a flawless facade and runny cake face.
