Need makeup that will last the day in our hot weather? These Reddit beauty junkies share the most indestructibly long-wearing makeup they love.
“Laura Mercier Caviar Sticks. These homies don’t budge. Ever.” – Reddit user Smokeahontas
“The Stila Stay All Day Liquid Eyeliner survived a 40-degree Celsius HUMID (read: tropical!!) country while I trekked through jungle and everything.” – Reddit user SalutLeMonde
“Estee Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup. I hate foundation that comes off on everything my face touches. This stuff does not at all” – Reddit user Yunachoo
“Don’t put on Urban Decay 24/7 Eyeliner if you’re not fully committed. That sh** don’t budge!” – Reddit user rya_papaya
“Heroine Make Long and Curl Mascara. I can swim and shower and even wash my face including my eyes and if DOES NOT MOVE. I need to order their mascara remover because right now I remove it with olive oil and even then it doesn’t get it 100 per cent. It also makes my lashes look miles long and amazing.” – Reddit user kallybear
“If I swatch Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Rouge on my hand, it won’t come off for several days.” – Reddit user FlameNewt
“Definitely the Sephora Cream Lip Stains, I have the one in “Always Red” and oh man. That stuff does not budge, and even after taking it off with an oil there’s still a stain leftover. Awesome if your want a long wearing red, but beware if you swatch it, it will be around for a while!” – Reddit user Loaf_Butt
“I’ve generally had pretty bad luck with eyeliners staying in place throughout the day without smudging around – but Make Up For Ever Aqua Seal is an amazing fix for this. It doesn’t mix well with soft formula eye pencils, but when mixed with M.A.C Fluidline or Make Up For Ever Aqua Eye pencils it’s set all day long”. – Reddit user bewareofunicorn
“MAC Pro Longwear Foundation – Looks natural applied with a BeautyBlender and stays on aaaaalllll day. – Reddit user reversedcoconut
“I just bought the Kat Von D Lock-It Tattoo Foundation and am in love. I wore it yesterday for the first time and it lasted all day – I went to an interview in the morning, then walked home (2.5 kilometres, really cold though so not really enough to sweat), went to the gym (yes, it lasted!) and then in the evening it was still there for the most part. I usually have foundation peeling or sliding off my skin by the afternoon, especially at the gym.
My skin does tend to get very oily when the weather warms up so that’ll be the true test, but so far it’s lasted longer than any other foundation I’ve used.” – fabelhaft-gurke
