Having a hard time getting your makeup to last all the way to happy hour?

Having to touch up your makeup before your afternoon meeting is one thing, but having to redo the whole process after lunch is a real hassle. Luckily, there are ways to make your makeup last longer.

To start, make sure your face is clean of residue. Use a daily moisturizer with SPF as a base.

Next, use a primer to fill in fine lines and smooth the skin. We like this onefrom Make Up Forever. If you want to correct your skin tone as well, use a tinted primer to even out skin tone. If redness is an issue for you, check outPhoto Finish Color Correcting Primer from Smashbox in green.

If you have a hard time keeping your eyeshadow on, use a dab of concealer before applying color on your lids, or try an eyeshadow primer. This one from Urban Decay is a good pick.

After your finish your makeup, set it in place with a light dusting of a finishing powder. A translucent powder reduces shine and keeps makeup in place throughout the day.
