Mandee’s Sweat-Proof Picks

PRIMER

  1. BEST - Lancôme La Base Pore Eraser

  2. Smashbox Photo Finish Foundation Primer

FOUNDATION

  1. BEST - L’Oréal Infallible Pro-Glow SPF 15

  2. IT Cosmetics Your Skin But Better CC+ Cream SPF 50 - This is a close second, but I struggle finding exact color matches. I have better luck when I have a spray tan in the summer. I like that it has more sunscreen, but the Pro-Glow option above has a better finish!

POWDER

  1. BEST - Revlon Photoready Powder

  2. bareMinerals Mineral Veil

CONCEALER

  1. BEST - Revlon Photoready Concealer

  2. L’Oréal Infallible Pro-Glow Concealer

BROWS

  1. BEST - NARS Eyeshadow Powder (I apply Bengali with an angle brush and have used this for ten years or so)

  2. Kelley Baker Brow Kit - New Find… learning to love it, too. I’m currently using these two options together.

LASHES

  1. BEST - L’Oréal Double Extend Beauty Tubes Mascara - I’ve tried one million mascaras and this is the only one I recommend!

EYE SHADOW

  1. BEST - Revlon ColorStay Crème Eyeshadow

  2. Maybelline The Nudes Palette

BRONZER

  1. BEST - bareMinerals Warmth

  2. NARS Bronzing Powder

BLUSH

  1. BEST - NARS Blush - Absolute all-time favorite in Orgasm!

SETTING SPRAY

  1. BEST - Urban Decay All Nighter Makeup Setting Spray - This stuff is the bomb dot com and makes a huge difference!

LIPS… Ok, here is where I have really struggled to find good options that stay on after working out, even the long-lasting glosses. The only thing I’ve found that stays on well is matte lip stain, but that’s not usually the look I’m wearing when I’m exercising. If you know of a good glossy option that actually stays on, leave it in the comments! Worst case scenario, the rest of your makeup looks flawless and you just have to do a swipe of gloss… I can live with that!
