Keep Your Halloween Makeup in Place All Night With These Long-Wear Products
The last thing you want on Halloween is to have the full face of makeup that you spent an hour-plus working on melt, smear, smudge, run or fade during the festivities. This rings particularly true this year because of the protective face mask you’ll be wearing thanks to COVID-19. To ensure your hard work stays put, you’ll need the best longwear makeup around — we’re talking paints, lipsticks and liners that won’t budge an inch and will last for hours. Try one of these 24HR+ picks, below.
