Eyeliner: Nyx Epicwear Waterproof Eyeliner (I use the liquid but apply it with an angled brush for better control. This stuff does not move in my experience)
Makeup Remover: I use baby oil!

This picture was taken of me at the end of con and my makeup was still pristine using the Nyx Epicwear!

I hope this is helpful for anyone who struggles with their makeup fading over time!

Products I use consistently:
Base: Caudalie Instant Detox Mask, Caudalie Oil-Control Moisterizer
Fixing Spray: Urban Decay All Nighter
Blending Spray: Elf Makeup Mist & Set
Gel Eyeshadow: ColourPop Gel Eyeshadow

#5: setting it for real: before adding mascara/lipstick, I add a layer of my blending setting spray and then a layer of my fixing spray. From there, I add my mascara and my lip products.

#4.2: after this layer of setting spray, I will add my highlighter. I do not really enjoy doing eyeliner tbh, but I would use an angled brush around at this step to add my eyeliner over my eyeshadow. This would be a waterproof eyeliner, to help prevent it from fading or coming off.

#4.1: after foundation: I normally will spray setting spray over my foundation. This is a different setting spray than the previous one, and the goal of the first one is more to make sure your makeup stays (fixing spray). This setting spray is used to blend the makeup together (blending spray).

#3: eyeshadow tangent: I use some form of liquid product that dries tacky (such as a gel glitter eyeshadow) instead of a primer. Due to the setting spray, there should be that base on your eyes but I like the extra security. I add my powder eyeshadow over the gel eyeshadow and blend as normal!

#2: pancaking: your base isn't as important as your setting spray! Instead of putting your foundation over your base, spray some setting spray. The goal is to lock in your base! From there, I add my blush if desired (since I use a liquid blush) and then my foundation.

#1: the base! I have found that skincare works for me as a base over a primer, since it functions to prime and make my skin look good. I use a pore detox max in order to help cleanse my skin before adding my moisturizer, which is an oil-control moisturizer due to my skin being acne prone.

I am also going to add the products that I use at the end! But also do what works for you! This is a picture of me at con yesterday. I did my makeup starting at 6:30am, and this picture was taking at around 2pm! It's a simple look, but my eyeshadow is very visibly still there!

Aaaa it was so fun seeing you again 💜

Also if I do this I might do a fake blood tutorial because I use lipsticks and it comes out pretty good tbh!

I lied I added straps to the dress but like look how good it looks!!!! Bottoms and cloak are next!

Good luck!

Happy holidays and enjoy your vacation!!!

Fair! I used to use the Mielle one but I can’t find it anywhere! It worked really well for my hair though 😭

Wait which one do you use? Mine is impossible to find anywhere so need a new one!
