its definatly a problem, when it comes to dances and getting all sweaty, it seems to be best to wear less on your actual face, and just really focus on eyes and lips. your face will absorb makeup, and youll sweat it off, AND youll be resting your head on boys and that sort of thing, and its just a mess.

another great alternative is to get your makeup done. dont know why, but when i was in high school, i find that when my makeup was professionally done, it was just indestructable. like i sweat THROUGH the makeup, rather than sweating it OFF. its definatly worth looking into. i mean for my prom i got my makeup done in Macy's by Lancôme, and after prom my friends and i went and camped on the beaches of lake michigan. and let me tell you, even after pictures, dinner, dancing, sweating, changing, AND camping... i woke up with my makeup in perfect mint condition like i hadnt just slept in a tent.
