Stop The Makeup Slide With This One Technique!

By BR Tabatha

^{Don’t you hate it when your lipstick feathers out onto your skin, making your lips look hot mess rather than just hot. Or when your eyeliner quits lining your eyes and decides to line your face instead. Makeup smearing is a cosmetic loving girl’s nightmare. It takes your look from en pointe to straight out ‘OMG take it off!’ So what’s a girl to do if this is a regular problem? Sandbagging.}

Once you’re finished gussying yourself up, you dust off the powder and you’re done.} 

^{If things do what they’re meant to do, and the sandbagging is successful, you’ll be able to swan around looking gorgeous all day knowing that your eyeliner will stay around your eyes and your lipstick won’t end up looking Joker-esque.}
