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.

Whats the story mineral makeup?

Hi all, wanted to give some tips on other ways to use your mineral makeup, including foundation AND eyeshadow/blusher.

You can mix a little of the powder foundation into your hand to make a concealer if you add a product like Clarins' Beauty flash (the reason i chose beauty flash is that it is safe to use in the eye area, you could just use the Beauty Flash for eyes if you wanted) All you need of the beauty flash is a pearl sized amount, you can apply it with your finger, or a concealer brush. Then set it with the mineral powder.
To make a creamy eyeshadow, do the same thing with beauty flash or a small amount of moisturizer (as long as its one you can use in eye area) then i would set it with a small amount of the mineral eyeshadow. This will make eyeshadow last forever.
Same technique for the blush.
If you had significant skin discoloration, i believe this technique would help cover any marks on the skin,including legs!
You could use beauty flash, eliz arden 18 hour cream, moisturizer, paw paw ointment, or lip gloss (would work well for using the blush mineral on the lips)
Just some little tips.
Please feel free to add yours for mineral makeup.
You can use your finger, a stippling "SKUNK" brush or a concealer brush.

Mineral makeup can be used by any skin type. However, in my opinion, you would like it better if you have a oilier skin type.
TO get it looking really flawless, you have to look after your skin. So i would recommend using an exfoliator if you are a bit dry to remove skin flakes, then moisturize. After a few minutes when your skin has absorbed the moisturizer, apply the mineral makeup. There are heaps of brands.
Remember if you chose a makeup without preservatives, it wont last as long as normal makeup. I guess you need to try a few different ones, to see what suits you the best. Also remember they tend to be a bit yellow based, so try a few shades to match your skin.

Dry Method (for everyday to heavy wear)
In order for mineral make-up to work the best you need to “warm it up” To do this put a small amount of the make-up in the lid of the container then use your brush (I recommend Kabuki or a thick synthetic brush.) You need to swirl it around and around so that the particles “warm”. Once you do this you can start to apply your make up. Light downward strokes work best, but do what feels comfortable to you. You need to repeat the swirling if you need more make-up. The swirling or “Warming” makes the make-up apply totally differently to if you don’t swirl. It also makes it longer wearing and gives better coverage

Water method (heavier wear)
Lightly dampen a make-up sponge (Make sure there is no excess water) Then dip into your mineral make-up (Put a small amount in the lid otherwise you will wreck or use too much) Apply in a dabbing motion keep going till make-up is smooth. I suggest using a tissue on your face afterward to get rid of any excess make-up or sponge marks. I just pat my face with a tissue for flawless look. (this method can apply quite heavily however you will find it will last all day or all night whatever the case may be.)

Moisturizer method (light coverage)
Mix with your favorite moisturizer for a fresh tinted look. Obviously the more foundation you use the heavier the coverage.

To freshen up your make up through the day pat face with tissue.

If you use a mineral makeup without preservatives, they need to be used up in about 3-6 months. Wash your applicators too.
