Does your makeup last all day? Also any brand suggestions?

I put my make up in the morning and would like to think it lasts until I get home at night ( about 10 hours). Should makeup mostly have this type of staying power? Also wondering about brand recommendations- currently a big fan of the OG Bobbi Brown products due to their simple and mostly unfragranced offerings. However as they are sold in china I would love to find a similar one stop brand that is recommended! Thanks

The only makeup that I don't find lasts well on me is lipstick so I tend to just go for a tinted lip balm instead and reapply it if I want to.

I use a mix of high and end high street but tend to go higher end for skin/base products. I wear Erborian CC cream, Givenchy if I want any powder but don't always and Nars if I need to use concealer but again don't always. I use Urban Decay setting spray.

My other makeup is cheap and lasts really well. Elf Xtender tubing mascara will not budge all day, Rimmel Scandeleyes eyeliner lasts well on meand Elf camo liquid blush and bronzer....all are better than some expensive brands I've tried. The Elf liquid blush in particular lasts forever as I only need a tiny amount as it's really pigmented. I paid £7 or something like that for it and it's lasted me for over a year.

I use Victoria Beckham the drops, she says it lasts 12 hours, I find much longer. It’s still fresh looking when I take it off to go to bed at 11 and I generally put it on about 7am.

lipstick doesn’t stay, and has to be reapplied.

Lipstick, i find the maybelline 24 hour superstay works really well for me, i use it as blush too!

@Daisywhatsyouranswer what are the drops? I’ve seen these recommended a few times
