Don't know if anyone has said this specifically-
I use Ben Nye cream make up as a base for where ever I'll be putting colour. The colour of the cream depends on the out come I want... (I do A LOT of experimenting on my arm) then, I add a POWDER, not pressed, loose powder on top of that. I have swam and showered in it. I have to SCRUB it off and it still kind of stains.
As for my loose powders, I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEMica Bella. I have no idea where they sell it other than little mall stalls here in California. :-( But their pigments are made out of mica stone and are super vibrant and shimmery. The purple I have is actually iridescent and has blue hues in it.
For lips - I do the same thing as the shadow, I make my own colours and they last HOURS.
I use Maybelline Super Stay 24HR foundation and quickly apply blush before it dries and that'll stay too.
For eyeliner I use Hip by... cover girl? But it seems like it's the same as the MAC and MUFE eye-liners. It's a waterproof gel.
And Mascara - Any Maybelline waterproof mascara will work wonderfully! Take it off with vaseline if you're too worried.
Aaaaaaaaand that's about it, I think.
