Answer #3

You can use a Primer.

I use a silicone based facial primer by Earthen Glow. I have the little sample bottle and it’s lasted me forever! It’s expensive but works and goes a long way.

For my eyes I use Urban Decay’s Eyeshadow Primer Potion. (an industry fav) Seems to work really well.

I also from time to time use a lip primer from Urban Decay, it helps my lipstick go on smoother but doesn’t really seem to last any longer.

Hope this helps!

You should get a makeup primer. It helps keep makeup on longer and helps it not to smear or smudge as much. There are foundation primers you can get like at the drugstore and I think Target or Sephora have some primers too. You can also get an eyeshadow primer but what I always use to help keep my eyeshadow on longer is I put a little bit of foundation or concealor on my whole lid and it surprisingly works good as a primer. But if that doesn’t work for you then look for an eyeshadow primer too
