When you catch yourself in the mirror after a hard day’s work, your beauty look may appear differently than when you left the house in the morning. To ensure your makeup lasts all day at work, there are some tips and tricks you can follow. Because nobody wants to be rocking smudged mascara, faded lipstick, and patchy foundation at the end of the day.
After a day in the office, an afternoon spent running errands, or an energetic creative collaboration, it’s safe to say that you’re probably not going to be looking as pristine as you were at 8 a.m. that morning. When you throw high summer temperatures and stress into the mix, your makeup stands no chance. But what about the life you lead outside of work? You can’t just put everything on hold because you need to go home and redo your entire face, however refreshingly wonderful that may sound. No, sometimes you have to soldier on to make it to new restaurant openings, pop-up galleries, or a hot date with someone who’s equally as busy as you are. There are occasions when even a touch up is out of the question because you’re so darn busy.
So here are a bunch of ways to get your makeup to last through the whole work day and hopefully beyond!
