For far too long, sweaty clubs, busy bars, and crowded concerts were considered a thing of the past. Now, the promise (or the threat, depending how you look at it) of social interaction is looming large. Parties! Music festivals! Girls’ trips! Just good old fashioned nights-on-the-town! While many of us missed the ritual of getting ready while listening to music and spending half an hour blending out your eyeshadow, no one missed wandering into a grimy bar bathroom only to discover that your mascara is smeared and your hair has fallen flat. It’s time to relearn how to put your party face on and make it last.

With summer rapidly approaching, it’s time to call in extra help from the cavalcade of long-wearing, water-proof, and otherwise dance-resistant makeup and hair products. With proper preparation, you’ll never dab your face with toilet paper or tie your hair up in a messy bun again. Read on for our favorite sweat proof makeup and hair products that will keep you looking fresh on all your longest days and nights.
