One of the worst things that can happen when you’re out and about is your makeup smudging. Whether that’s your lipstick, your eyeliner or even your brows, a smudge can be super hard to fix and can make you feel insecure. However, the beauty industry have recognised this problem and have made so many amazing makeup products to prevent this happening. Here are the 12 best smudge proof makeup products on the market.
This brow pomade promises 100% smudge proof, long lasting brows and boy does it deliver. Not only is it an amazing dupe for Anastasia Beverley Hills DipBrow, it comes with a double-ended applicator for flawless application, and the creamy formula glides on smoothly, but lasts for hours. When they say smudge proof, they really mean it – your eyebrows won’t be going anywhere.
Waterproof mascara is a product that has a reputation for not going anywhere (panda eyes the day after, anyone?), and Maybelline’s Lash Sensational lives up to this reputation. No only does this mascara both lengthen and volumise the lashes, its liquid formula with a low wax count will give you the blackest of black lashes that will last all day and not smudge.
We all love our liquid lipsticks for their staying power and smudge-proof formulas, but L’oreal have taken this idea and applied it to their eyeshadows. The formula is incredibly pigmented, and goes on as a liquid but dries into a powder, meaning that whilst your eyeshadow will last like a liquid lipstick, your eyelids won’t feel cakey or sticky, and you can blend it easily.
Smudged eyeliner is one of the most annoying things that can happen – when you rub your eyes and it comes away with half the wing you spent ages crafting that morning it an feel like the world is crashing down around you. Bobbi Brown’s longlasting gel eyeliner can hold up against the elements, sweat, humidity and even your own face oils, so your eyeliner can look flawless all day
When Maybelline say 24 hour eyeshadow, they mean it. The Colour Tattoo eyeshadow range use innovative pigment technology to create super-saturated colour, whilst the formula also contains metalic pigments and translucent pearls for a glow that lasts up to 24 hours. This eyeshadow will have you looking fresh all day, and the creamy formula will give you a soft, dewy-eyed look.
This eyeshadow primer will keep your eyeshadow looking amazing come hell or high water – literally. The waterproof formula means that even if you’re caught in the rain or are watching a particularly sad film, your eyeshadow will carry on looking flawless. In addition, the formula also stops your eyeshadow from creasing, and is 100% smudge proof. This smudge proof makeup item is an essential.
Blusher and lipstick smudging is always annoying – the former as it makes your makeup feel less complete and the latter because it can be super hard to fix. Benefit have got your back on both of these problems, though as this gorgeous tint will give your cheeks fabulous flush and make your lips a lovely just-bitten shade of pinky-red. Since it is a tint, it won’t smudge away, and is kiss-proof so you can get up to whatever you like, safe in the knowledge that your lips and cheeks will look great.
This foundation has a lasting, lightweight finish and comfort serum so whilst you have flawless coverage that will last for ages, your face won’t feel super heavy or cakey. Plus, the formula means that even if you are rushing around, it simply won’t budge, meaning you can go about your day without worrying that your foundation has smudged. This smudge proof makeup product keeps the coverage going strong all day long.
Smudged lipstick can be an absolute nightmare, and since it’s one of the most common makeup smudges, you need to get a lipstick that you can be sure that it’ll last all day. This lipstick is actually a duo with two different formulas – a superstay liquid lipstick that doesn’t crumble, flake, or feather, and super-rich moisturising balm that’ll keep your lips amazingly soft, even if you are wearing this lip colour all day.
Concealer can be a godsend, but if it get patchy, cakey, or creases then it can also be a nightmare. Nyx’s full coverage concealer is both waterproof and infused with coconut oil, so whilst you’ll have flawless skin, your skin won’t be suffocated and will also have a healthy glow.
If you;re not into liquid lipsticks, it can be difficult to get one that is smudge proof. However, Rimmel Londond have created a range of lipsticks that are matte, long lasting and smudge proof without being overly drying to your lips. Rimmel say that you can wear this lipstick for up to eight hours without needing to reapply, so your lipstick will be able to last all day (or all night).
