Eye Shadow Eyelashes

How can I make my makeup stay?

ok, so my dance studio is going to orlando to perform. we're going to be wearing TONS of make-up and going to get really sweaty (especially from humidity) is there any products i can put on my face to make my make-up stay put? Thanks!

P.S.- the make-up we have to wear is this: foundation, three colors of eye shadow, eyeliner, fake eyelashes, blush, and red lipstick.

For your face, apply a primer before you put your foundation on. Philosophy makes a nice oil-free moisturizer that acts as a foundation primer. It's called The Present. Smashbox also makes a makeup primer that feels like silky silicone to the touch. It won't clog your pores either. I think it's called Photofinish (not sure though.) Do an internet search for Smashbox primer and you'll see it. Sephora sells both.

After you apply all of this, plus your foundation and blush, then "set" your face with translucent powder. You can get translucent powder anywhere.

For your eyes, use concealer AND an eye lid primer. Urban Decay makes a nice eye lid primer "potion" in a purple tube that goes on nearly nude. It will make your eye makeup adhere to your lid. It won't run or smear, even in that intense heat! But personally, I prefer MAC eye lid primers. They come in a little pot that you apply with a concealer brush. They have several colors--pick one that jives with your natural skin tone. It also doubles as a fabulous concealer. I live in the desert and I know all about sweating off makeup. I swear by this MAC product. My eyes look just as great at 4pm as they did at 9am!

Also, on your eyes, apply several (and I mean several) coats of mascara. If you can line your eyes with a thick black water-resistant liquid liner, you'll have good results.

For your lips, cover them in foundation before you apply lip liner and lipstick. Because we use our mouths for eating, talking, etc., you may have to reapply the lipstick before you go on stage each time. But that's no biggie. The rest of your face will be picture perfect!

Good luck with your competition!
