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.

I don't generally wear makeup but I do use mascara and eyeshadow sometimes, and I've had that issue. Eyeshadow just seems to evaporate. As [livejournal.com profile] sweet_virago mentioned, theatrical makeup stands up to more wear and tears and lasts longer. Right now I have MAC products and they tend to last really well.

ETA and MAC doesn't do animal testing, and they have an entire foundation dedicated to AIDS fundraising (they donate all the makeup and artists for Broadway Bares every year), so they're a good brand for those reasons too. :)

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.
