Ready for some Halloween glam? These long-wear picks will keep your makeup on no matter how late you stay out.
Maybelline Fit Me Matte + Poreless Powder
Toss this best-selling drugstore pressed powder in your bag for easy on-the-go touch-ups. It’s shine-controlling, mattifying, and pore-minimizing, giving you a flawless sweat-proof base without looking cakey. It comes in a translucent option or foundation-matching shades for added coverage.
L’Oreal Paris Infallible 3-Second Setting Spray
Whether on stage or in front of the camera, Whitney Leavitt uses this drugstore setting spray to lock in her makeup and ensure it stays put for hours. Ciara Miller is also a fan, saying, “It definitely seals in everything and keeps me matte and prevents me from getting too oily as well.”
HUDA BEAUTY Lip Contour Lip Stain for 12-Hour Wear
“I kid you not, almost every single one of your favorite celebrities is obsessed with our lip stains, and they tell me that all the time,” Huda Kattan told E!. The matte formula is transfer- and budget-proof for up to 12 hours.
Maybelline Super Stay Lumi-Matte Foundation
With claims that it lasts up to 30 hours, this medium to full-coverage foundation has a lightweight flexible feel with a satin finish that’s neither too glowy or too matte. It gives skin a flawless finish that resists sweat and shine and is infused with hydrating amino acids.
Laura Mercier Translucent Loose Setting Powder
An OG product, fans have been loyal to Laura Mercier’s translucent loose setting powder for years. Whether you like to lightly set makeup or do full-on baking, the beloved formula controls shine while blurring the appearance of texture and pores.
NARS Soft Matte Complete Concealer
With its blurring finish and crease-proof wear, Mikayla Nogueira always keeps her beauty room stocked with this fan-favorite concealer. She recommends letting it dry completely after applying to blemishes before blending it out with a brush for maximum coverage.
ONE/SIZE On ‘Til Dawn Mattifying Waterproof Setting Spray
Of this waterproof setting spray Madison LeCroy said, “If you know, you know. This stuff lasts. Every single makeup artist that I’ve ever worked with uses this, the best of the best. It feels like hairspray. I absolutely love it.”
Danessa Myricks Beauty Yummy Skin Blurring Balm Powder
If you have oily skin, listen up! This unique and weightless balm-to-powder product creates a blurring barrier, providing light coverage while priming your skin for any complexion product. It helps absorb sweat to keep makeup from sliding off.
Sacheu Lip Liner STAY-N Peel Off Lip Stain
This insanely viral (and oddly satisfying) peel-off stain is the secret to long-wear lip liner. Use the precision-tip applicator to trace along the lip line in an even layer. Then, leave on for up to seven minutes, and once dried, slowly peel the film tint off. And voilà, a water-resistant and smudge-free look that’ll last all day!
I tried Fenty Beauty’s new foundation & it’s better than the OG (psst, Rihanna Wore It to the Met Gala).
