When is longevity important to you?

When is longevity important to you?

It depends on what I’m doing. If I’ve selected certain products because they’re longer-wearing, then it’s because I really need the extra longevity and that would make it very important across all those areas. More generally, I want products that last a solid eight hours before starting wear...
