My favorite part of a night out isn't the night out (unless something earth shattering happens). My favorite part of a big night out is getting ready. There is NOTHING better then spending two hours getting all dolled up even if you're just going to you're favorite dive bar. The worst part of a night out is when you get home at 2 am and look in the mirror and girlllll you are looking RUFFFFFF. In the hopes of preventing that two am horror movie moment (you know when the girl looks in the mirror and realizes the murder is right behind her) I am going to share my favorite tips and tricks for making your makeup last as long as you do. I'm talking getting back to the casino at 4 am in Las Vegas after dancing your ass off to David Guetta at XS and STILL looking good. (Not that that happened or anything...)
This can be achieved in three easy steps...
Step 1: Primer - find your perfect primer, the one that fits you best. At the moment I'm LOVING the Napolean Perdis Auto Pilot Primer. I then will put a little bit of Benefit's Porefessional in the areas that I need it.
Step 2: Eye Primer - If you know me you know I have the OILEST eyelids ever. Two minutes after I put on any eyeshadow it has already creased. Here is where the NARS 'PRO PRIME' SMUDGEPROOF EYESHADOW BASE comes in. I don't use the phrase holy grail very often but this product is truly my holy grail eyeshadow primer.
Step 3: Setting Spray - I have used many setting sprays but my personal favorite is the Ben Nye Final Seal setting spray. This is meant for stage makeup and it is rumored that the Disney Princesses use this to keep their makeup on all day. It is a little intense so if you have slightly more sensitive skin try something like the URBAN DECAY DE-SLICK OIL-CONTROL MAKEUP SETTING SPRAY. In a bind spraying your face with some hairspray will do the trick!
Step 4: WATERPROOF, WATERPROOF, WATERPROOF! Always choose waterproof versions of your favorite mascara and eyeliner!
Y'all try this and let me know what you think! What are your favorite tricks for getting your makeup to stay on all night?
