What kind of wear and longevity do you look for in a lipstick? What's most/least important?

What kind of wear and longevity do you look for in a lipstick? What's most/least important?

Three to four hours without completely fading, and it’s important it doesn’t just cling to imperfections or settle into lip lines as it wears down. I want it to wear away evenly.

What kind of wear and longevity do you look for in an eyeliner? What's most/least important?

9-10 hour wear would be ideal, and if it smudges, that would be a deal-breaker. I don’t mind even fading/the line thinning over time, and I’m not pressed about waterline wear. I will give up some longevity for ease of removal.

It better not smudge or flake throughout the day! I’m less concerned about holding a curl.

It shouldn’t really start to fade until around eight hours, and then it should be a gradual, even fade for the remainder of the day. The most important aspect is that it doesn’t settle into pores/emphasize texture over time.
