4. Blush: Ever Bilena Powder Blush
We know you'll probably be blushing FR once you see your bias hit the stage, but just in case you need even more rouge, dust some of Ever Bilena's velvety powder blush on the apples of your cheeks (and the bridge of your nose for good measure).

5. Eyeliner: K-Palette Reformulated 1Day Tattoo Real Lasting Eyeliner
When they say this eyeliner is like a tattoo, they *really* mean it. The K-Palette Real Lasting Eyeliner's smudge-proof formula will last you through sweat, tears, and everything in between.

6. Mascara: Heroine Make Long Up Waterproof Mascara
We're not kidding when we say this TikTok-viral mascara will last you All. Day. Long. It's so good at its job that it even requires its own remover! It's highly recommended for those with stubborn, stick-straight, and downward Asian lashes.

7. Lipstick: Vice Cosmetics Matte For All Flexi Matte Lipstick
When it comes to long-wearing lipsticks, we still have a big love for bullet lipsticks. They have the staying power minus the emphasized lines that liquid lipsticks can give your pout. Vice Cosmetics' Flexi Matte Lipsticks envelop your lips with vivid color while still making them feel pillowy soft, thanks to plant-based meadowfoam seed oil.

TBH, all of the products you used above will be nothing without a good setting spray to lock everything in place. Enter: Dazzle Me's Get A Grip! Makeup Setting Spray. It will seamlessly set your makeup to be waterproof, smudge-proof, and transfer-resistant without leaving any heavy sticky feeling on your skin.
