Eye Makeup That Lasts All Day

how to make your eye makeup last all day

My day starts early. Every morning my alarm goes off at 6am and for the next 16 hours, chaos ensues.   By the end of the day, I would look in the mirror and look so haggard.  My eye shadow had completely creased into my eye lid, my eyeliner was smudged, and my mascara was flaking off.  I looked like crap!  I had to find a way to get my eye make up to last so that I still looked refreshed by the end of the day.  Here is my new beauty routine:

5-minute makeup that lasts

Eye Make up that lastsAs a mom with two young boys and a teacher who works part-time I need something that I can do every morning without a lot of time to spare.  As busy women, we need makeup that lasts! Three things that I wanted to accomplish with my morning makeup routine:

  1. I wanted it to be quick.
  2. I wanted it to be affordable.
  3. I wanted it to last without having to reapply it during the day.

simple and easy make up that lasts

Instead of writing everything down in a post, I figured that it may be easier to make another YouTube Video, showing you exactly what I do to make my eye makeup last.  Please excuse the fact that I tend to make funny faces while applying makeup! One secret ingredient that I will let you in on is the SmashBox 24 hour eye shadow primer.  This was a game changer for me, mostly because it kept my eye shadow looking fresh all day long.

step-By-Step:

  1. Curl eyelashes.
  2. Apply mascara to top lashes.
  3. Line bottom lash line with a colour stay eye pencil.
  4. Apply SmashBox Photo Finish eyeshadow primer and allow to dry.
  5. Using an eyeshadow brush, highlight inner corner of eye and under brow line.
  6. Apply eyeshadow using your finger and blend!
  7. Use a liquid eyeliner to line your top lash line.
  8. Re-curl eyelashes and separate using an eyelash comb.
  9. Do your final coat of mascara to top and bottom lashes!
  10. Voila!

    I needed these tips badly. I’m constantly wiping underneath my eye because of raccoon eye fear! But then I end up wiping away my concealer for dark circles. HAHAHA.

    I’ll have to try this! I also have really long days and my makeup almost never lasts. Even on days when I’m really lazy I never leave without mascara!
