Who wants to spend time putting our makeup on in the morning, only to find out by noon it looks like it was never applied in the first place? Let’s face it, us NY City girls are on the go, and don’t have the time to fuss with our makeup all day long. We’re all looking for those perfect products that go on, and stay on! Not to mention that with summer on the way, it’s even more critical that our makeup last under the hot summer sun, and keep us looking fresh and fabulous all day long.

So, here are my five favorite products that stay put! They are staples in any make-up aficionado’s kit, and makeup artists (including myself) swear by them for long lasting coverage!

Starlight proof, spotlight proof, in a new liquid silk texture. A high resistance make-up that gives a luminous semi-matte finish that lasts and lasts. The new coverage effect without coverage feel and with protection from the strong summer sun.

Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner: $19.00

Shu Uemura égérie Eye Shimmer Duo $42.00
