How to get your makeup to last all day

There seems to be a hack for everything these days, so when it comes to prolonged makeup duration, you can bet there are a few tricks to help you achieve long-lasting coverage. The tutorial below ensures every stitch of makeup you apply to your face doesn’t end up on your partner’s collar or your coffee mug.

If you want to avoid several makeup reapplications per day, take steps to properly cleanse and moisturize your face in the morning. Makeup will better adhere to your skin if you employ these two preliminary steps. Just think of them as a sealant.
