How I Keep My Makeup Looking Good All Day: 15 Products That Actually Help
15
items For anyone whose makeup looks perfect when they leave the house and somehow completely different by 2pm. These are the products I reach for when I want my makeup to survive a full day, oily T-zone, creasing concealer, disappearing blush, dry patches ...
If I know my makeup needs to survive a genuinely LONG day, this is the setting spray I’m reaching for. It gives you that locked-in finish where everything just seems to stay exactly where you put it. I wouldn’t necessarily use this for a two-hour cof...
One Size By Patrick Starrr On Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray P476719
There is a reason everyone talks about this primer. It has that slightly tacky texture that actually gives your makeup something to grip onto, and for $10 I genuinely don’t think you need to spend $40 on a primer just for the sake of it. Such a good ...
e l f power grip primer 0 811 fl oz - A 83714913
The classic for a reason. If you want your makeup to last but don’t necessarily want the super-matte finish of the ONE/SIZE spray, I’d go with All Nighter. This is one of those products I keep coming back to because it does exactly what I need it to ...
All Nighter Waterproof Natural Finish Setting Spray with 24HR Wear - Urban Decay
If you like the original Power Grip but want something a little more skincare-focused, this is the version I’d try. You still get that grippy base for makeup, but it also has niacinamide. I especially like this idea for days when I want my skin to lo...
e.l.f. Power Grip Primer + 4% Niacinamide - 0.811 fl oz: Noncomedogenic, Vegan, Finish, Normal Skin
Yes it’s expensive for powder, but this is one of those beauty products I genuinely understand the hype around. I love it for setting the areas where makeup tends to move first, under my eyes, around my nose and through the T-zone, without feeling li...
Translucent Loose Setting Powder - Laura Mercier
My budget setting spray pick. If you get oily throughout the day and just want something inexpensive that helps everything stay put, I’d start here before convincing yourself you need a $40 spray. NYX has been making this forever and honestly sometim...
NYX Professional Makeup Long Lasting Makeup Setting Spray - Matte Finish - 2.03 fl oz
I know there are a million makeup sponges now, but I still love the original Beautyblender for pressing foundation and concealer into the skin instead of letting everything sit on top. My biggest tip is to use it damp and really press rather than swi...
ORIGINAL BEAUTYBLENDER Makeup Sponge - beautyblender
If paying $20 for a sponge feels slightly insane to you, completely fair, get this one. Real Techniques has been one of my favorite affordable brush/sponge brands forever, and this gives you that same damp-sponge application for a fraction of the pri...
Real Techniques Miracle Complexion Sponge
THIS is the kind of product I want in my bag, not a giant loose powder situation. If my T-zone starts getting shiny halfway through the day, I can quickly press a little on exactly where I need it. Cheap, easy to carry, and much less messy for touch-...
Maybelline Fit Me Matte Poreless Pressed Face Powder Makeup
One of my favorite weird beauty finds because it basically replaces blotting papers. You roll the little volcanic stone over oily areas and it absorbs the shine without adding another layer of makeup. It’s reusable too, which I love because otherwise...
Revlon Oil Absorbing Volcanic Face Roller
If you’d rather stick with blotting sheets, these are such a classic. The key is PRESSING them onto oily areas instead of rubbing them all over your face and disturbing the makeup underneath. I keep these for the moment when my forehead suddenly deci...
Clean & Clear oil absorbing facial sheets 50ct
Another drugstore product I think deserves way more credit. This is the setting spray I’d recommend if you don’t want something aggressively matte but still want your makeup to last. The finish feels much more natural, which I love for everyday makeu...
Milani Make It Last Original Natural Finish Setting Spray 2.03 Fl Oz
The MIST on this is what sold me. I cannot stand a setting spray that basically spits giant droplets onto the makeup I just spent 30 minutes doing. This comes out super fine and gives you another really affordable option if you want longevity without...
e l f stay all night micro fine setting mist 2 7 fl oz A 80160213
For my actually-oily girls, this is the powder I’d look at. I like a pressed mattifying powder specifically for midday touch-ups because you can target the areas that need it instead of making your whole face flat. Also MUCH easier to throw into a ba...
NYX Professional Makeup Can't Stop Won't Stop Mattifying Powder
Okay this is my wildcard because it solves such a specific problem. If you have redness from a breakout that makes your makeup look uneven, this has a green tint that helps visually neutralize it while also being made for post-blemish skin. I LOVE pr...
