Ladies, what beauty tips do you recommend for long lasting make-up for women above 45?

My beautiful mother has been a housewife for more than 25 years now, she's 46 but looks like she's in her early 30s, honestly!!! The problem she has is that when ever shes goes out her make-up doesn't stay on for more than 30 minutes. On behalf of my mother, could you please help! Thank you :-)Ladies, what beauty tips do you recommend for long lasting make-up for women above 45?
Without knowing her skin type, it's hard to say whether this issue is due to oiliness of the skin, or whether she is simply using products that lack pigmentation. A high talc content in eyeshadows, for example, means they will disappear quite quickly.





I highly recommend that she try some products that have been specifically designed for length of wear. Some good ones to try, and which would possibly appeal to someone her age, would be:





- Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation (liquid), Chanel Mat Lumiere foundation (2-way powder), or Revlon ColourStay foundation (liquid).





- Bobbi Brown Longwear Cream Eyeshadows. These are absolutely budgeproof, and come in a wide range of neutral and non-shimmery shades.





- Waterproof mascara. I love Chanel Inimitable Waterproof, but there are plenty of other great low-end waterproof mascaras out there.





- Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner. Again, these absolutely do not budge, and the quality of pigmentation is first class.





- Clinique Blushwear Cream Stick - another long-last product, doesn't move once dry.





- For lips, she could try a longwearing lip colour (e.g. Revlon Colourstay Ultimate Liquid Lipstick), or if she finds these too drying, use a lip pencil before applying lipstick.





She should also invest in an oil-based makeup remover, to help her remove product at the end of the day.





Good luck, and good on you for doing something nice for your mum :-)Ladies, what beauty tips do you recommend for long lasting make-up for women above 45?
Make sure she cleanses, tones and moisturises. Let the moisturiser sink in for 30 minutes and then use a primer. Then use foundation





you can also buy eye primers [for eyeshadow to last longer] - MAC do a great eye primer


and also a lip primers and 'lip sealants'





hope this helps!
My best advice would be to cleanse tone and moisturise then use a primer for her face and on her eyelid (she can use concealer and loose powder for this) to keep the make up in place then after she has finished lightly dust loose powder over her face for a matte finish
Nivea visage tinted moisturising cream, its a great base instead of foundation put on some power before it dries and it doesn't feel like your face is coated with make up while still retain a natural flawless look
I would suggest that your mother purchase high quality make-up. Try Lancome, MAC, Clinique...etc.. Visit any of these places, and have them set her up!
Apply Foundation, And A More Heavy Foundation To Last
i use Clinique face powder...it stays on all day, a little mascara %26amp; i always use lip pencil instead of lipstick as that too ... lasts nearly all day.





edit: stupid, unkind answer from Darkstar!!
Tell her to use a primer!





Urban Decay's primer potion is best for eyes and personally I love the QUO face primer.
I'v heare that cement works better for those over 40 .........
