I like my makeup with staying power. I can't afford to experience a makeup meltdown half way through the day (or night), whether I'm at work or at a party. But I can't tell you how many times I've experienced eyeliner smudging, lip color fading, and even my foundation fading–it sucks! After just a few hours, I already look like I never applied anything on in the first place. Seriously, is there a lipstick out there that can survive a meal? Luckily, there is–check it out!

Mascara
I've been using Lancôme Definicils Waterproof Mascara ($28) for years and it has yet to fail me. This thing withstands everything from tears to water–all without leaving my lashes hard and stiff!
Foundation
Finally a foundation that actually stays on all day and night! Estée Lauder's Double Wear Stay-in-Place Makeup ($37) provides great coverage and leaves your skin looking flawless and glowy!
Eyeshadow
Can eyeshadow really last for hours? Revlon ColorStay ShadowLinks ($3) sure do and they cost less than 5 bucks each!
Eyeliner
It's hard for me to find a pencil liner that actually stays put. But the Urban Decay 24/7 Glide On Pencil ($20) does exactly that–no ifs or buts about it!
Lipstick
I love CoverGirl OutLast All Day LipColor ($10). It comes complete with a moisturizing topcoat to help lock in color and shine for hours, in other words–no fading or bleeding!
