1.    Foundation For All Day Wear
Invariably foundation is the first portion of women’s makeup regime to wear off. Women can have that long lasting glow that outshines the shine of bare skin quite easily by making a few changes in their daily facial care, and makeup application.

- If exfoliating is not already a part of a woman’s facial cleansing regime, she should begin now. Exfoliating removes layers of dead skin, and prepares the skin to hold the foundation. Much like a sanded piece of wood will hold paint without peeling.
- To achieve the longest wear from foundation women can apply a makeup primer. Back to wood painting, the same applies to skin; a paint primer gives longevity to a paint job, by adhering to both the raw material and the paint. Makeup primer does the same for the skin and makeup.
- Always allow moisturizer or makeup primer to completely dry before applying foundation. Applying foundation to an oily surface of wet moisturizer will just shorten the life of the foundation application.
- Use a powder to set the foundation. Re-applying a layer of powder is quite simple and quick, compared to re-applying foundation over the entire facial area. Powders should closely resemble the shade of foundation, so when it does wear off women are not left with two tones of facial skin.

3. Eye Makeup That Stays On the Eyes All Day

No woman wants to resemble a raccoon or only have one eye that is clearly perfect and another that is missing its application of the same definition.
- Once more go back to properly painted wood, women need an eye makeup primer. Just like facial makeup foundations, eyes need something to hold the eye shadows in place.
- Like the application of a blush, the cream eye shadows set by powder ones will have longevity, and the added appearance of a professionally applied eye makeup application.
- Smudged eyeliner is usually caused by the application of pencil eyeliner. Using a liquid eyeliner that is extremely hard to smudge, and it stays on the eyes for lasting beauty and definition.
- A woman’s choice of eye mascara should always be where she is not afraid to spend a little more for a better product that not only defines each lash without clumping, but is waterproof for all day wear.

4.Lips That Stay Moist and Beautiful

While lips constantly need re-application of lip color to remain fresh and colorful, using a few tips can decrease the number of times it must be done during the day.
- Using an under layer of lip balm will allow your lip color to retain its rich color longer and keep the lips from cracking and peeling. Remember to use only a light layer of balm specially designed for use on the lips, and only a light coat.
- After applying the lip balm, a light dusting of powder will remove the oily texture and adhere better with the eventual application of lip color.
- An old stage actress tip is to apply a light covering of lip liner over the entire surface of the lips. This will hold the lip color in place for a longer period.
- Once you have applied the lip color-redefine the contours of the lip with lip liner, and it will hold the lip color within its boundaries.
