Cosmetics - why don't they stay on my face?

[stormkeeper_lovedoris]

If you wear make-up, do you ever find that it does not actually last very long on your face?

I put on mascara, eyeshadow, blush, and lipstick in the morning, and I find that after not very long, the eyeshadow and the blush are MIA. I expect the lipstick to not last long because I'm always sipping water. But where do the blush and eyeshadow go? Do I sweat profusely or am I wearing not-good brands? I don't rub my eyes or touch my cheeks.

Seconded. MAC cosmetics are extremely pigmented and they stay on very, very well. Their eyeshadows last 8+ hours. And they make the best lipsticks on earth.

They also have a recycling program for their empties, so you can store up your used-up lipstick and gloss tubes (at least, and maybe others) and when you take them back to the counter for recycling, you get a free lipstick or gloss.

Wow, this really sounds great! I look forward to trying them.
