Whether you're heading to work, a wedding, or just want to avoid constant touch-ups, making your makeup last all day is possible with the right techniques and products.

Here’s how to keep your makeup fresh, glowing, and resilient all day long…

Step 1: After cleansing, use a hydrating serum and a moisturizer for your skin type. I like this moisturizer from U Beauty and this serum from The Ordinary.

Step 2: Prep your skin with a primer that works for you. I like this one from Milk Makeup and this one from Fenty Beauty.

Step 3: Use a foundation with a long-wear formula that is specially developed to last all day. I like this one from Laura Mercier and this one from Fenty Beauty. If you want to go with less coverage for a lighter look, I really like this tinted moisturizer from Laura Mercier.

Step 4: Use a setting powder to seal in your final look! I love this one from Laura Mercier- i just lightly dust the setting powder over my face with this brush to secure my makeup.
