Your handbag is heavy enough. So why carry around makeup you don’t need? Especially when there’s a slew of budge-proof products you can use.
How do we know? We put concealers and foundation through a sweat test (a vigorous workout), brow pencils and blushers through a touch test (did they rub off?), mascaras through a cry test (a weepy K-drama fest), and lipsticks through a grease test (two oil-filled meals).
These are the ones that made the cut. So you know your makeup will be as perfect in the late afternoon as when you first applied it in the morning. Even if you haven’t looked in the mirror all day.
