Merle Norman LASTING MAKEUP. You will not sweat it off. You so need a good makeup remover to clean your face though. I wear it everyday. Bare Minerals says it will not come off it you sweat but mine dripped off in big tan drops--it was awful.
Ditto! I love MN. Been using it for years. Hair spray will help to. Make sure you close you eyes and just barly push the sprayer and it will stay all day and won't be sticky. |

| Estee Lauder Double Wear foundation. Some people like its too think but I like it and it will cover a bullet hole in your face I swear. A use a make-up primer, a use EL highlight and contour BB creme, double wear, then double wear powder, and a make-up setting spray. My make-up does NOT come off until I want it to come off when I do these steps. |

| My face tends to get shiny, and makeup will literally melt off! I learned some great tricks when I was MRSD! For my "rodeo queen face" that would last 18+ hours through anything, I used (in order of application):
Bare Minerals shine control primer
MAC Studio Finish Concealer
MAC Studio Fix, Pro Longwear or Matchmaster foundation (the Pro Longwear can get a bit cakey if you're not careful, but I've gone 18 hour days with it on, skipped washing my face that night, slept 3 hours and touched up with powder in the morning, and it lasted another whole day! Studio Fix has more shade options, but I've had the best luck with a natural look that lasts with the Matchmaster)
MAC Studio CareBlend Pressed Powder
Skindinavia Shine Control Setting Spray
The Smashbox Photo Setting loose powder is AWESOME too! It seemed like most of the other queens last year used MAC for their foundation at least too. It is definitely pricier than the drugstore brands (~$30/30-35 mL bottle), but I end up not using nearly as much. They have a great return policy too, so if there isn't a counter near you that you can get matched at, you can order a few different shades and see what works best. I have to order it online, because there are no stores in SD or ND that sell it! |

This is what I wear. A tube will last a long time because a little bit goes a long way. I have naturally oily skin so I also wear Merle Norman Ultra Powder over it. As long as I don't WIPE off sweat, it will stay put all day. I will pat my face with my sleeve, a towel, napkin, whatever because I do sweat a lot- I just make sure not to wipe. If my skin starts looking oily, I can add a small amount of powder, although I typically don't have makeup in the trailer unless I am running late and did it in the truck LOL.
As someone else mentioned, I do often go the arena dirt route though LOL! For some weird reason in my own head, I will go bare at barrel races and wear makeup at rodeos. I also do the messy bun on top of my head at barrel races and wear my hair down at rodeos.

Location: MD | For me, it's mascara, sunscreen and chapstick. I realized I look worse with runny make up. I take baby wipes to wipe off old sunscreen and dirt and reapply. and I'm kind of obsessive about it |

| I'm not sure how much coverage you need (sometimes I need a lot and sometimes I need a little depending on my hormones,haha) but since I've gotten off birth control I don't need that much and I'm in love with Loreal BB cream! It's just enough to even out my skin tone and looks natural! It seems to last a good while and feels like I have nothing on! |

| I'll also add that I usually just wear mascara (the green and pink tube) and sometimes I'll wear some bronzer or highlighter on my cheeks and under my eyebrows and the best I've found for the bronzer is by Cargo (really any kind could be fine) and just about any highlighting eye shadow works for me. Stays on pretty good in my opinion! |

Location: Peach State | Thanks for all the suggestions!
I agree barefaced is best with a little sunblock but I just like a little something to even out my complection and the "fit me" foundation stick is great and light just wears off in a couple hours. Will def try some of these ideas though |

Location: Somewhere else | Merle Norman makes a primer you put on before you put your makeup on and this stuff will keep your makeup in place all day & night. I only use it on hot humid days & love this stuff.

Location: Texas | I've just been using a tinted moisturizer with a little loose powder over top. It's wonderful for hot, summer days, won't melt off or clog up your pores like heavy makeup. My favorite is by NARS and I get it at Sephora. |

Urban Decay "All-Nighter" make-up setting spray.
Do your whole make-up routine, then spray this on and BAM! No running or smudging of anything.
Get it at Sephora :)
This is the best investment I have ever made in my makeup kit. Also the waterproofing eye shadow primer. |
