What are you after?
Estée Lauder doublewear really lasts,and looks good all day
Lancome mascara really doesn’t budge
Cream blush
Benetint for lip stain
Maybe,line eye tatto eyeshadow are long lasting don’t cease
Mac,Bobbi brown are long lasting too
Use a primer to increase longevity

My neighbour has tattoo make up I should look into that.

Thank you @SentientAndCognisant for the recommendations.

Literally everything. I put on a full face this morning and when I got back in the car it really looked like I hadn’t bothered at all!

Agree that double wear really does go the distance. Mine lasts a full day - the only foundation I've used that has that kind of staying power.

CatBatCat · 19/08/2020 21:42

Have you been out and about wearing masks?

Ginfilledcats · 19/08/2020 21:44

Do you not use a primer or setting spray?
Urban decay setting spray is amazing. I also take a small version out if going somewhere straight after work as it just refreshes everything

Goldenphoenix · 19/08/2020 22:14

LVL lashes and lash tint? Means you can forego mascara.

SentientAndCognisant · 19/08/2020 22:16

Yes urban decay setting spray

Karcheer · 19/08/2020 22:26

No I haven’t been using a primer or setting spray - I’ll order some! Thank you.

urban decay primer for eyes - doublewear for foundation

Holothane · 19/08/2020 22:35

Lipstick if I remember face cream at night ..

chubbyhotchoc · 19/08/2020 22:38

Estée Lauder double wear and urban decay setting spray keeps all powder/ blush and highlighter were I want it.

SentientAndCognisant · 19/08/2020 22:38

Foundation or tinted moisturiser
Neutral eyeshadow
Mascara
Cream blush
Lip tint

All Done @5min

chubbyhotchoc · 19/08/2020 22:39

Where 🙈

KenDoddsDadsDog · 19/08/2020 22:40

Another vote for urban decay primers - eye , skin and setting spray. I’m exactly the same as you and mine has stayed far better with this combo.

Mixitupalot · 19/08/2020 22:40

Yes to primer and setting spray. I am fairly new to both & the difference is amazing

endoflevelbaddy · 19/08/2020 22:44

I'd agree - primer and setting spray. I rate smash box for staying power.

The other thing to make sure is your skin is well hydrated and in good condition or you'll absorb the products. Once I'd got my skin in top condition I could use a CC cream and concealer for day to day and still look like I'd bothered to put makeup on.

Karcheer · 24/08/2020 12:33

Hello - Im just about to order the Primer and Setting Spray.

Is it the All Nighter Spray that I want?

Which Primer? The Optical illusion one?

Thank you?

I have eyebrows micro blades and lash extensions, these really help the look 'stay' because even if a bit of foundation comes off, I still look like I have make up.

A good primer, double wear foundation, benefit lip/cheek tint and setting spray are your friend.

NameChaChaChanges · 24/08/2020 13:07

I use the following daily:
NARS concealer Beauty Pie brow mousse, under eye concealer, highlighter/blush, loose powder and mascara
Urban Decay eyeshadow
MAC gel eyeliner

All lasts all day. Without primer or setting spray.

What products are you currently using? And what is your skin type?

Atalune · 24/08/2020 13:10

I put a bit of powder on my face first then I apply my make up. The powder gives it all a bit of grip without much coverage.

Glossier buildable concealer
No7 translucent powder
Ester Lauder DE mascara
Mac cream blush in posey
Origins lip gloss
Glossier boy brow

Teal99 · 24/08/2020 13:11

The Urban Decay All Nighter setting spray is the best. Available as a full size or a travel size in case you want to try before committing to full size. Quite pricey.

For a cheaper version e.l.f 's version, the one in the small square bottle is cheap and nearly as good.

TableNiner · 24/08/2020 18:44

Which bit is falling off?

I’ve got really oily skin and eyelids and have come to accept things will slide a bit. Tried all manner of fix sprays etc.
