"What are you guys’ fave beauty products that survive long nights out?"
We love this question! There’s nothing worse than doing your makeup perfectly, only to catch your reflection at midnight and find it’s completely melted off... and trust us, we've been there.
After a lot of trial and error (and a lot of hot, packed rooms), we’ve found the products that actually last.
We each have our own favourites, so we’ve split them into each of our top five's below!
Here are three things we both found that help any makeup last longer:
1) Prep your skin: Moisturiser and a primer gives your makeup something to grip onto.
2) Less is more: Thin light layers last way longer, and look better on your skin than one thick heavy one.
3) Set it: Powder then setting spray, is honestly what helps make it through the night!
These are my top 5 products for a long night out - they last from the pres to the walk home without any touch-ups!
For my base I love the L’Oréal True Match serum foundation, and the True Match concealer. I don't like having a heavy base, so this combination is perfect as both of them feel light but still look good at the end of the night.
For brows, I love the e.l.f. eyebrow pencil. It’s so cheap and it stays put! I don't even want to know how many of these I have used in the last few years...
My one splurge is the Charlotte Tilbury cream bronzer, which blends in so easily and doesn't make you orange!
Lastly, I always finish with the L’Oréal Infallible setting spray. Although it feels like hairspray on your face, it keeps everything in place all night!
1. Elf halo glow: Cheaper and such a good option if you like a more natural coverage and glowy look. An exact dupe of Charlotte Tilbury Flawless filter. I’ve used both and they look practically the same! the texture is just a little different .
2. Merit concealer: My ride or die product and something I will ALWAYS splurge on. Gives such a blurred look and has such a nice creamy texture. Literally looks like you have nothing on but at the same time has really good coverage.
3. Lash sensational mascara by maybelline: Have been using this product since grade 6 and never lets me down. Stays all day long even without the waterproof version. I don't even use an eyelash curler with this mascara and my eyelashes look so long.
4. HUDA beauty setting powder: Another product i think is sooo worth the splurge. You will look so airbrushed when you wear it that you will be convinced your pores disappeared.
5. NYX blow glued: Do not bother buying an expensive brow gel, I promise this one will do the trick. It gives none of those white crusty flakes and has done the best job of holding up my brows compared to any other products I’ve tried!

Don’t stress about your makeup being perfect all night. Everyone is usually having too much fun to even notice, and a little touch-up in the bathroom is part of the night!
