How important is wear time in a blush/bronzer for you?

How important is wear time in a blush/bronzer for you?

I’d like to see a solid eight hours and then gradual, even fading and some breakthrough shine, but if it goes patchy or disappears entirely before eight hours, it’s a deal-breaker.

How important is wear time in a lipstick for you?

I’m the kind of person who forgets they’re wearing makeup if I’m not testing it, so there’s a good chance that I’d forget to reapply even if it wore off. I don’t want something so long-wearing that it dries my lips out, so I’d say some longevity but I don’t need iron-like wear!

If you had to wear only one highlighter forever, what would it be?

MAC Fairly Precious if I had to choose… it would be so hard to choose, but this is one of those go-to, everyday wearable shades that adds warmth, a touch of color, and shine and goes with a lot of other products. It can be amped up by using it damp or with a fingertip.

I'm back with eight swatches of Danessa Myricks Colorfix Matte ($18.00) shades. Go figure the finish that was easiest/best-performing (on average) was the one I purchased the least shades from! (One shimmer did fall into my cart, LOL.) I have another eight I purchased and hope to swatch at some...
