Your best long stay foundation please.

That's it really...and primer too.
THANKS. X

IMO it doesn't matter whether you use an expensive or cheap foundation, if you don't apply it properly.
Personally I like a good brush and really work it all in to my skin in small circular movements.
There is a brilliant independent make up artist in Belfast called Paddy McGurgan and I use some of his products, and also once he has recommended. I use one of his make up brushes for skin.
I use Bourjois CC cream first (maybe a bit of green cream first if reddish patches), then make up atelier primer (LOVE THIS) then Dior foundation, which really suits my skin and gives me a great finish. Then powder and a touch of bronzer to add depth. And definitely use a fixing spray.

I've wasted so much time (years) and money (£hundreds) and FINALLY have it down - I don't have the time to be reapplying several times a day, I'll top up if I'm going out after work, but that's about it.

I use:

-Benefit Porefessional
or
-Estèe Lauder 'The Smoother'

Foundation
-Estèe Lauder Double Wear
or

• Clinique Beyond Perfecting Foundation & Concealer

or

• Urban Decay All Nighter

I also recommend using a setting spray, my favourites are Avon and Nyx - they do a regular one, dewy finish, matt finish...

Also I use my fingers to apply primer (eek!), a kabuki brush to apply foundation and then a beauty blender to pat it all into my skin. There are lots of tutorials on YouTube showing how to make your face foundation last all day

Estee lauder double wear. If you go on the Fabled website you get good money off first time order 😊

Also Nyx angel veil primer is my favourite and a tube last's ages.

I use a factor 50 as a primer and Avon eye primer on my nose. Then Mac Studio Fix. Then spray then powder then spray (contouring before powder).

Diorskin Forever is excellent.

Smashbox studio skin 15 hour wear foundation - that shit lasts forever!

My favourite long lasting primer is the high adherence one by The Ordinary.

Might want a setting spray aswell - Urban Decay ones are fab, I like the matte one and the all-nighter original one.

I hated E/L Doublewear, it's terrible for dry or lined skin!

I have dry skin.

My favourite is This Works In Transit primer followed by Suqqu foundation.

Set with hourglass powder.

That's my evening go to.

Daytime is Charlotte Tilbury Light Wonder - same prep, same powder. Or Bobbi Brown Serum/Stick.

I generally find long wear foundation really drying and unflattering.

I find I get better results with a good primer and powder with a light/medium foundation in terms of both look and longevity.

Oh and as pp above, I know lots of people like Estée Lauder Double Wear but frankly I think it's awful.

I can spot people wearing it at 100 paces.

It's far too heavy for everyday and looks really ageing on almost everyone.

I can't understand why people like it.

Huda Beauty Faux Filter foundation and primer. Totally amazing. Smells gorgeous too and covers all flaws. I think in UK you can buy at Cult Beauty and in some dept stores. There is also an online shop. Check her out on Instagram - she is a make up artist who developed her own line. Great range of shades too and they have a colour match chart where if you know what colour you wear in another brand they will suggest shade in HudaBeauty foundation. I am a shopaholic when it comes to make up and this brand really has impressed me the past 12 months.

Fenty. Blend fast as it sets quickly and also oxidises so take samples home to colour match (shade changes slightly after 10 mins). I've returned 3 bottles already but once you have the right colour, it's fantastic.

The new long-wear and primer by maybelline are incredible! Full coverage though.
