1. Use a lightweight moisturizer
No matter when you moisturize your face, be sure to use a lightweight formula of moisturizer instead of a heavier one. It’s important to find the perfect moisturizer so that you won’t break out and it won’t make your makeup run. If you have oily skin you shouldn’t skip moisturizer, or it will make your makeup flake off and not adhere well to your face. It’s also bad for your skin!
2. Use concealer before you apply your foundation
Most women use concealer after they apply their foundation. However, if you want to make your makeup last longer you need to apply concealer first.
Use your best concealer to contour your face, by placing it on top of your eyelids, under your eyes, towards the tops of your lips, and under your nose. This will illuminate your face and help you look less cakey. This will also help eyeshadows stick to your eyelids much better.

3. Apply a good foundation
When it comes to making your makeup last all day, your foundation is extremely important. You need to find the perfect foundation if you haven’t found it yet! You can even opt for BB cream if you wish. A good foundation doesn’t run, cake, or look oily all day long.
For better results, use a powder lightly on top of the foundation. Keep in mind that a good foundation is not necessarily an expensive foundation. There are many good brands which cost less and work excellent!
4. Use brushes
One of the best ways to make your makeup last the entire day is to apply makeup with brushes and sponges instead of your hands. Your hands can be dirty and carry natural oils on them. So make sure you use brushes to apply your eyeshadow, powder, blush, and bronzer.
Also, make sure you use the appropriate size brush for every product, not the same for everything. Look for a special eyeshadow brush, which is made to get into the creases of the eyes, a special blush brush, and a powder brush, which is larger than a fluffy brush.
5. Get perfect eyeliner
I have a lot of trouble with my eyeliner running after just a few hours. By applying eyeshadow to my eyelids, it helped take the smudge away, but when I found my perfect eyeliner, I forgot about smudging and running eyeliner. Find your perfect eyeliner that stays on an entire day, doesn’t smudge, and is easy on your eyes. Pencils are also good, but they can rub your eyelids raw.

6. Apply a neutral eyeshadow onto the rims of your eyelids
To make your eyeliner last all day, take a neutral eyeshadow, such as beige or cream or white color, and apply it to the rims of your eyelids, where you are going to put your eyeliner. This will help it adhere to your eyes much better, and lighten up your eyes. Give your eyeliner an extra boost in adhering itself to your eye!
7. Apply a primer to your lips
This tip will help you make your lipstick last all day long. Before you put on your lipstick or gloss, give your lips a little priming help. Just apply a touch of a cream-based concealer to your lips, and then apply your lipstick over it. It sounds strange, but it really works!
Use these sweet little ways and your makeup will certainly last the whole day! How do you make your makeup last all day long? Please, share your tips.1
