How To Keep Your Makeup Fresh from AM to PM

Whether you're an independent woman (per Beyoncé) or an A-lister, there isn't much time in the day to completely redo your a.m. beauty regimen.
From the beginning of your work day to VIP lunch dates to drinks with co-workers, you've got to look good from the time you walk out of the door to the moment to reenter. But, looking effortlessly fresh for more than eight hours is no easy feat.

If anyone knows a thing or two about staying camera-ready, it's celebrities. Their schedules are packed with events, photo ops and important meetings, all of which require them to look their best. Sure, celebs like Tracee Ellis Ross and Bella Hadid have glam squads to help them out. But, ask anyone involved with celebrity beauty and they'll mention a few hero products that make a.m. to p.m. beauty a lot easier.

Morning

Whether your morning routine is five minutes or two hours, there are few things you need to make sure whatever you put on lasts as long as possible. Olivia Palermo looks perfect under the French sun, and most likely used the products below for her dewy, morning glow.

Suncreen

Although this won't necessarily keep your makeup intact, it will prevent your skin from sun exposure and premature aging. Wearing a product that's SPF 30, at minimum, and reapplying throughout the day is a must.

Setting Spray

What's the use of creating the perfect makeup look if it's going to crease a few hours later. Using both primer and makeup setting spray will give your makeup a fighting chance against the elements (i.e. the summer heat).

Frizz Control

Tight curls, sleek and straight hair, beach waves—no matter the texture or style of your hair, the goal is to keep it looking the same throughout the day. Without an anti-humidity agent or holding spray, you're basically letting the environment take control of your tresses—not a good idea. Before you leave, spray your hair with a frizz control to get rid of flyways and keeping your style intact (especially if you've used heat to style your hair).

Boscia

If you have oily skin, chances are your summer glow got a bit too shiny through the morning. Pro tip: Keep these small pads in your purse to get decrease the amount of oil on your skin in less than a minute.

Smoky Eye Makeup Palette (or Statement Lipstick)

Instead of trying to rethink your entire look, adding a smoky eye or a bold lip will give you nighttime flare in five minutes or less. Using a domed eyeshadow brush, blend a darker hue into the corner of your eye and the crease to smoke out your current eye makeup. This will add dimension and sensuality to your look. Or, you can cut down your prep time, and add a bold lip like Devious from bareMinerals.

Setting Spray

After you're done refreshing, don't forget to set your makeup again. You'll be selfie-ready all night long.
