i’ve started wearing a bit more makeup recently, but i today i noticed that it gets ruined pretty quickly to an unbelievable extent.

today i put on some heavy eye makeup & a very light base (but including primer and powder) at around 6 am. Keep in mind that i’m at school all day doing basically nothing (except a 30 minute walk during lunch break). At around 2:30 I look in a mirror and turns out i look as if i’d been mauled by a bunch of animals and somehow brought back to life… Like, no matter what you’re picturing, it probably looked even worse. Like, i don’t mean to make myself sound like some sort of crybaby, but i was genuinely on the brink of tears after seeing myself like that from the sheer embarrassment. I literally felt like I was going to throw up - it was that bad…

Anyway, I guess I just don’t understand how it’s possible for my makeup to get that obliterated in a matter of a few hours while doing nothing? It’s not like i was working out or anything and i’m not a naturally sweaty person… Plus I tend to buy makeup others recommend.

Does anyone have any ideas on what might be the issue? :(

    It’s all in the brand. I tried some Amor Us just to do a full face of make up for giggles, and when I blew my nose once, I ended up with a giant patch of setting spray, powder, foundation and primer all completely GONE for the rest of the day. The rest slid off my face by noon.

    You get what you pay for, I guess - I think Estee Lauder, Urban Decay, and KVD, and Too Faced make my favorite long wearing make up and I can be very confident it won’t need a touch up.
