Be honest—how many times have you left home with flawless makeup, only to find your foundation vanished hours later due to heat, face-touching, skin oils or stress? Good news: You don’t need tons of products for all-day staying power. We asked pro makeup artists, who shared two key tricks:
1. Wait 5-7 minutes for moisturizer to fully absorb (skin feels bouncy, not slick) before makeup.
2. Keep pre-makeup skincare simple—too many products create a slippery base.
