When April showers start to fall, don't let your makeup go with them. There's nothing more infuriating than nailing a killer cat eye or perfect brows, only to have them slide away. Try some of these proven formulas to save face.
Ever wonder how to keep your makeup from running in wet weather? I've narrowed down the most budge-proof, smudge-proof, go-nowhere, tried-and-tested formulas to keep your look locked in this spring!
Before you pick up any of these products, remember these must-know tips:
- Always use an eye and foundation primer. These are the first steps in ensuring your look holds.
- Setting sprays seal in everything from eye makeup to your foundation. Use them, especially for special events and outdoor activities.
- You can waterproof some of your existing products with helpers like Make Up For Ever Aqua Seal, e.l.f. Makeup Lock and Seal and Anastasia Beverly Hills Lash Genius Waterproof Topcoat.
- Lipstick will last longer when a lip liner is applied first and all over lips.
