You can be sure that the Aqua Liner won't smudge and reduce its color intensity even when you're super sweaty. There are three kinds of black: Mat Black, Multicolor Black, and Diamond Black. 

3.  NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation 

Just because you're buying foundation from the drugstore doesn't mean it's "cheap". There are a lot of superb sweat-proof makeup items hiding at the drugstore and this is one of them. The one thing you'll love about the NYX Stay Matte But Not Flat Liquid Foundation is that it keeps your skin radiant.
