Sorry if i am doing this incorrectly. Here are my answers:

Longest wearing blush: Taj Mahal by NARS

Longest wearing Eyeliner: L’Oreal Lineur Intense with the Felt Tip

Longest wearing lipstick: Barry M has a lipstick that looks green in the tube but it goes on pink. It is one of those magic lipsticks we used to have a kids. Sorry, but it is the longest wearing lipstick ever. It keeps your lips stained for hours 🙂

Thanks for doing this survey.

Forgot the MAC Liquidlast eyeliners, those are amazing, truly industrial strength but also really hard to remove. I use Dress khaki and Brassbeat but only on special occasions (see the removal problem above).

Lipstick-liking MAC pro longwear formula. But I don’t really use longwear formula’s much.
Blush-MUFE cream blushes, set with powder
eyeliner-have yet to have a problem with Buxom lashliner, or Smashbox Waterproof cream! Come to think of it, cream or gel liners last the longest for me.

Satin Mac Lippies except Angel, which doesn’t last long on me, even if I don’t eat anything.
Benefit Posie Tint, when I wear it under my compact, it lasts forever.
L’oreal Carbon Gloss works great for me.

Longest wearing lipstick: The long wear lip stain/gloses from MAC and maybelline Superstay Lipcolor. Liptars as well i fin the last longer then a standard lipstick if you blot a deep colour.
Longest wearing blush:MAC Matte and Satin finish blushes but I also use on that are highly pigment ones with a stippling brush.
Longest wearing eyeliner: MUFE Aqua Eyes, MAC fluidline and most Gel liners made, NYX Stuoide Liquid liner.

* Longest wearing lipstick?
I don’t wear long last lipsticks but Jordana lipsticks last for ages on me. They are a bit drying though!

* Longest wearing blush?
I find theBalm’s blushes (Hot Mama, Cabana Boy and Down Boy) all last all day on me.

* Longest wearing eyeliner?
Triple toss up between MAC Pearlglides, Estee Lauder Double Wear and Prestige Total Intensity eyeliners.

Longest lasting lipstick? MAC Pro Longwear – I have Prolong and it lasted through a 10 hour shift at work with no touch ups required. Lancome and Chanel lipsticks are long lasting as well.

Longest wearing lipstick? Make Up For Ever’s Rouge Artist Intense #21
Longest wearing blush? I don’t wear blush >.>
Longest wearing eyeliner? Make Up For Ever’s Aqua Eyes

I feel like any product can last all day from Guerlain to wet & wild. Of course more Matte or stain type lipsticks will last like MACS pro-longwear double sided. Eyeliner I would have to say as a pencil would be hashmi kajal, friend brought it to me from Dubai, you can also find it in street markets. And the only way a blush won’t last is if you don’t have a good base or your touching your face all day

Victoria Avatar

Longest wearing lipstick: Mac Satins! They’re slightly drier than amplified but still full coverage, making them much more long lasting

Longest wearing blush: MUFE HD blush definitely, but that can be tricky to apply. Still looking for a HG powder blush :\

Longest wearing eyeliner: MAC Fluidlines + TFSI!

Lipstick: Chanel Double Intensite – you have to scrub HARD to remove it
Blush: Flirt! Peek-A-Blush
Eyeliner: Urban Decay, both the 24/7 pencils and their liquid liners aren’t easy to remove

Emma Avatar

I’m not really answering the post but I have a few related eyeliner questions…

Can anyone recommend the best eyeliner for use on the waterline?
And also, can you use gel liners on the waterline? I have one that I use on mine and it works really well but its more of a cream to be honest. I’ve never really used a proper gel liner.

Longest wearing lipstick: MAC Pro Longwear Lipcolour in Clingpeach
Longest wearing blush: I combine a cream/gel blush with a powder blush. Tarte Blissful Stain first, followed by – MAC Mineralize Blush in Pet Me or Benefit Coralista
Longest wearing eyeliner: MAC fluidlines – Dipdown or Blacktrack

# Longest wearing lipstick? – Morgana Minerals Vegan Lipsticks. It’s an indie brand, the lippies cost $10 a piece and last longer than any high-end brand I’ve tried. It’s crazy.
# Longest wearing blush? Sebastian Trucco Cream blushes.
# Longest wearing eyeliner? Liquid- L’oreal Liner Intense in carbon black, pencil- UD 24/7s

lipstick- I have no criteria for this as I only wear MAC 😉
blush-MAC cheek and cheerful,and NARS orgasm blush
eyeliner-fluidline by MAC
YES…ok…I admit my MAC addiction 🙂

Marcela Avatar

lipstick: MAC’s amplified formula lipsticks. not only are they gorgously pigmented and super creamy, they last hours and hours and leave a great semi-permanent stain behind!

Jaime Avatar

Longest wearing lipstick?

Hands down, MAC Ruby Woo. The actual lipstick probably fades within an hour or two, but the stain it leaves behind is almost as vibrant as the colour when you first put it on, and it sort of “sets”, so it doesn’t seem to transfer much. It is drying, but that’s what makes it last so long, so I don’t mind.

Longest wearing blush?

Any powder blush. If I use a cream blush, it just sinks into my skin within an hour.

Longest wearing eyeliner?

Again, MAC Liquidlast. That stuff lasts forever. For waterline, I like Urban Decay’s 24/7 eye pencils. I haven’t tried MUFE’s Aqua Eyes yet, but I really want to.

Shannon Avatar

Mac Pearlglide eyeliners!! They last all day and night. I feel asleep with my makeup on and in the morning only thing left was the eyeliner. It’s the best!!

Lauren Avatar

I just have to share my fav longest wearing eyeliner…Clinique quickliner for eyes! It doesn’t move and when I do a cat eye, it doesn’t crease or smudge.

Yumi Avatar

Not sure exactly how long but-
Lipstick: MAC Blankety (Amplified) lasts longer than my other MAC lipsticks for me, and when it fades it stains quite nicely, I love it.
Blush: MAC Stereo Rose, By Candlelight and Perfect Topping lasts longest for me I think. All I really know for sure is that Her Blooming Cheek doesn’t last quite as long as I’d like it to.
Eyeliner: MAC Fluidline in Blacktrack.

Longest wearing lipstick? Amplified finishes by MAC,
Longest wearing blush? MAC, but it could las a bit longer, though
Longest wearing eyeliner? MAC Superslick liners (LOVE them!)

Dani Diamond Avatar

Longest wearing lipstick?: BARRYM’s lip paints, only a few ive used realyl do stain the lips and dont budge til labout 6 months later like these shades – Punky Pink, Black, Vibrant Pink (THE LONGEST WEARING LIP COLOUR EVER!!! TRUST ME!) & Chesnut Red are all the longest wearing shades ive tried lol
Longest wearing blush: So many different brands to choose from but i think MUFE, NARS, MAC & Bare Escentuals are all great lasting blushes. But the shame with blush is depending on the shade at the end of a day it can look like it is your natural redish colour 🙁
Longest wearing eyeliner: MAC liquid last eyeliner, jesus that stuff sticks on all year round, it hurts when you try to take it off even worse if you layer the colours to do a big dramatic look.

Debbie Avatar

Longest wearing lipstick? Lipsticks just don’t last on me, but if I use Guerlain’s KissKIss Liplift as a base I do get a little longer wear.
Longest wearing blush? Cream blushes last longer for me (Bobbi Brown Pot Rouge or MAC Cremeblend Blush)
Longest wearing eyeliner? Bobbi Brown Gel Eyeliner
