How to make last for dancing? HELP!

How to make Make-Up last for dancing??? HELP.

I give up on make-up lately, ONLY do my eyebrows n lipgloss (or lipstick).

at the end of class, my black eyeliner for sure going under my outcorner my eyes...not bad but not pretty either.

how to make my make-up last???

thank you.
This question was recently posed to me, and my answer is below.

dont freeze your makeup.
OK heres what you do!
Start with a clean moisturized face, and apply if you have it an oil absorbing makeup base.
Apply your foundation over entire face. Set it with loose sheer powder.
Apply an eyeshadow base, then eye shadow in a light tone all over eye.
Apply a medium shade in the eye socket, above eye crease.
Apply your eyeliner, THEN set it iwth some eyeshadow.
Apply waterproof mascara.
Apply your blush.
Line your lips with a neutral lip liner.
Apply your lipstick.

use waterproof, and do you set your eyeliner with eyeshadow. Using an eyeshadow base helps too, many makeup brands have eye shadow base. If its still running, upgrade to waterproof products.
Products to try, clinique quickeyes, as its got pencil and powder to set it in the other end.
DIOR liquid liner is pretty good,and i used that on my wedding day, no runs.
The pros sometimes use SMASHBOX!

eye liner is pencil. Are you applying it under the entire eye from corner to corner, or just the outer eye, you can skip the liner if you want and just use waterproof mascara.But try the liquid, or a firmer pencil liner (like the kohl pencil) instead of the wax based MAC.Its probably too moisturizing and soft.

you should still use moisturizer, but a mattifying one oil free one, and the base of Laura Mercier should be used REALLY sparingly (less than a 5c coin), as i find that brand slightly oily, but it shouldnt affect your eye area as they generally are not placed in the eye area.
And as for your eye cream, how close to the eye do you apply it, it should only be applied on the orbital bone (meaning the brow, and the hard bony area below the eye) not anywhere near the eye itself, as it spreads due to the warmth of the skin.

You might find another brand of makeup base thats oil free is better for dancing (I use Clarins Skin Flash) and my foundation is an oil free mattifying one that i apply over my entire face, so my whole face has foundation on it, then put on some concealer, such as DIOR Skinflash as its a highlighting concealer and an eyemakeup base all in one or Clarins Instant Perfection Instant Light concealer which does a similar job. I also use a Clinique light eyeshadow base before eye makeup (Clinique touch tint for eyes)

Silly question, do you apply loose/pressed powder too? Loose and pressed translucent powder is sheer, and sets all makeup without covering the color, fluff it on over the whole face with a big brush after makeup.

In your pocket at dance class, put some oil blotting sheets to pat the face during a break, it saves you having to re-apply makeup, and absorbs oil/sweat. And pack a hydrating spray face mist in your bag, like Dior Hydration spray that both sets makeup, and hydrates/cools the skin. Just mist that on (2-3 sprays) after blotting the face.

The makeup forever is good, i use the Face and body foundation (its a fine coverage,but also buildable)

seems like you have some great brands, the only other thing i could recommend is next time you are re-stocking get some more tips from the makeup girls. But if you are going for it really hard during dance class, i dont think any makeup will last that well, even the waterproof ones, as they are more water "resistant" and sweat is water and oil.Oil does dissolve makeup. As i mentioned, the things that will help are keeping the face cool and hydrated, the oil blotting paper (like Clinique, shishedo, or MAC are brands i can think of, off the top of my head) and oil absorbing gel (Clarins makes one, you can put it over your face makeup, but not the eyes) Clinique has one,that you can blend on top of foundation.
The one you can put directly onto eyes is SHE-LAQ by benefit, according to their website:
Our magical makeup sealer solves the age old dilemma of "smudged makeup!" Apply to shadows, mascaras, lipsticks and liners for makeup that stays put!what else you need to know:Comes with four brushes in their own special pouch.
Dip a clean brush into she-laq and apply over makeup to seal it on. Allow to dry completely for about 1-2 minutes before touching. Wash brushes after each use and store in pouch.
Maybe go to a Benefit counter,ask for a demo before a dance class, and see how it goes.
