Most long-wearing foundation? Benefit Hello Flawless Oxygen Wow (TERRIBLE name, very love it or hate it product — and the lightest shade is crazy dark/orange — buuuuut on my dry skin, mixed with pure white foundation, the finish is perfect and lasts forever. Seriously until I wash my face, no matter how late at night)
Most long-wearing lipstick formula? Boots No. 7 Stay Perfect Lip Lacquer. I wore the cranberry red color throughout a half marathon and other runners came up to me later on like “What is on your lips?! I can’t believe it still looks this good!” Like car paint, this stuff.
Most long-wearing blush formula? The older, discontinued formula of Tarte cheek stains. Nowadays, Colourpop, maybe? Too Faced is good for powder blush.

♥ Your skin tone/coloring:
• Dark to Medium-Deep
• Warm undertone, with a touch of Neutral
• NC44.5 to NC45
♥ Most long-wearing foundation?
• Lancôme Teint Idole Ultra 24-Hour Foundation
“Twenty. Four. Hours!! Enough said.” 🙂
♥ Most long-wearing lipstick formula?
• Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Volupté Shine
“I love the constant moisture it provides, and the light lip stain it leaves behind.”
♥ Most long-wearing blush formula?
• La Femme Cosmetics Blush [on Rouge]
“I haven’t found anything else that can compete with this highly pigmented blush. The formula is so amazing, that I even use it as eyeshadow.”
That Lancome is everything!
I know, right!! I can’t live without it.
Skintone/Coloring: Fairly light, very neutral; dark-featured.
Foundation: It all depends on what I’m wearing underneath… If I’m wearing a heavy moisturizer and/or sunscreen, and I don’t powder, nothing will last all day. However, for an evening event, and if my drier skin is behaving, everything I’ve tried holds up well. I will use a primer, though, as my skin will absorb any moisture from my foundation, leaving pigment to “pool” in my pores… Daytime and/or outdoor events typically call for reapplying sunscreen, so I can’t really answer that.
Lipstick: I’m constantly removing/reapplying (between meals, for example), so I don’t pay attention to that sort of thing…
Blush: Again, if my base is breaking down, obviously any blush will, as well. Conversely, if my base is wearing strong, my blush will hold up, as well.
Your skin tone/coloring: NC15/20
Most long-wearing foundation- Esteé Lauder Double Wear or Nars All Day Luminous Foundation
Most long-wearing lipstick formula- MAC’s Retro Mattes (Like Ruby Woo)
Most long-wearing blush formula- Tarte Amazonian Clay blushes (though I’m about to invest in some ColourPop ones soon so we’ll see)
NC20-25 skin: Tough call between either all Tom Ford or all Armani products for this question. Armani lipsticks maybe not quite as long lasting as TF on me. Both have great foundations – the TF in the Traceless Perfecting (the newer liquid one..heatwave proof..I swear) and Armani Lasting Silk (beautiful finish on this one and perhaps not as inherently drying as the TF.. the TF is a summer only foundation for my skin type). Cheeks TF powder blush continues to be my HG powder formula or Armani fluid sheers.. that wash of sheer colour, man,I love both with equal fervour. All products here are performers for me and worth the reach imo.
Your skin tone/coloring: Extremely pale with strong pink undertones
Most long-wearing foundation: MUFE Mat Velvet+
Most long-wearing lipstick formula: MAC Retro Matte
Most long-wearing blush formula: NARS
Your skin tone/coloring: Very fair with neutral undertones; magenta hair; hazel/green eyes.
Most long-wearing foundation? My skin ranges from really oily to combination with a really oily T-zone. The longest wearing on me is BareMinerals Original Foundation SPF 15.
Most long-wearing lipstick formula? ABH and Kat v D Everlasting liquid lipsticks; Wet N Wild MegaLast; MAC Mattes & Retro Mattes.
Most long-wearing blush formula? MUFE HD Cream Blush; UD Afterglow; Tarte Amazonian Clay Blush; Sleek; ColourPop.
Skin tone – fair, porcelain with pink undertones
Long wearing foundation: Rimmel Match Perfection in light porcelain
Long wearing lipstick – love the Maybelline Colour Sensational range
Long wearing blush – don’t really have one at the moment but I am working on it!
Your skin tone/coloring: light with yellow undertones
Most long-wearing foundation? Marc Jacobs Genius Gel Foundation or Nars All Day Luminous
Most long-wearing lipstick formula? I’m in LOVE with UD Revolution and Matte Revolution! And Bite Beauty Matte Creme Lip Crayons
Most long-wearing blush formula? Clinique Color Pop, Burberry Light Glow Natural, Chanel powder & cream!
I am medium warm
Though I try several new foundations per year, nothing holds up on me like Estée Lauder’s Doublewear. I wish something would outperform it, just for the sake of variety!
Most of my lipsticks last until I eat. I wear many different brands and types: Mac, Lancôme, Estée Lauder, Nars, Bite Beauty, Kat Von D, and more. I always lay down the faintest layer of concealer and use a lip liner. If I don’t eat, they don’t budge. I like bold colors with strong pigmentation, so that effects the longevity of the product. Soft colors don’t have the staying power of a strong color.
Like my lipsticks, my blushes don’t fade. I often wear a cream blush topped with a powder blush, but not always. I primarily wear Mac, Chanel cream, Estée Lauder, and Lancome blushes.
Your skin tone/coloring: Light/Medium with Olive Undertones
Most long-wearing foundation? Giorgio Armani Maestro Foundation
Most long-wearing lipstick formula? UD Revolution Lipstick, Anastasia Liquid Lipsticks
Most long-wearing blush formula? TARTE Amazonian Clay 12 Hr Blush
Your skin tone/coloring: Medium-Dark (Bobbi Brown Warm Honey, MAC NC 42-44)
Most long-wearing foundation? Bobbi Brown Long Wear Even Finish
Most long-wearing lipstick formula? Burberry Lip Velvet (My favorite – Fuchsia Pink) Chanel Rouge Allure Intense (My favorite – Exaltee)
Most long-wearing blush formula? NARS (Dolce Vita), Clinique (Cola Pop)
Light, Neutral-Cool
YSL Fusion Ink
Tom Ford (this one perplexes me, because despite transfer, the color lasts a long time)
Still searching for a long wearing blush
Your skin tone/coloring: Fairest neutral leaning pink. Some foundation matches are:-
Bobbi Brown Skin Foundation in Alabaster (great colour and really lovely all-round foundation)
Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation in Siberia (yellow tones cancel out the redness well)
Koh Gen Do Maifanshi Moisture Foundation in 001 (perfect colour and great for wintry dry skin)
Most long-wearing foundation? Out of what I’ve tried and what matches my skin it has to be the Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation. Stays really well, even on my oily t-zone, which is practically unheard of!
Most long-wearing lipstick formula? For liquid lipstick I really like the Stila Stay All Day Liquid Lipstick. I’ve yet to try other matte formulas such as the ColourPop one but I do find that these last a long time on my lips and I’m forever licking and biting them. 😛
As for regular lipstick I find Urban Decay’s Revolution Lipstick to stay pretty well, as does Givenchy’s Le Rouge, which has more of a satin/matte finish.
Most long-wearing blush formula? I recently tried the new Bourjois Aquas Blush, a gel formula, which gives a light, healthy flush. I tried it in Pink Twice and it looked so natural on. The main point though is that it lasted all day with pretty much no fading.
Other ones I like for their staying-power are also liquids/creams. Shy Uemura Tint in Gelato is a lovely formula for the cheeks as well as the lips. It sets to more of a satin finish. I also have a Stila Convertible Colour Palette, which has a creamier formula and has a slight tackiness to it.
Both wear well on me but a powder blush over the top to helps to make them last even longer.

Most long-wearing lipstick formula? MAC Pro Longwear
Most long-wearing blush formula? Tarte Amazonian Clay
Oh dear – how could I forget the UD Revolution lipstick formula? That one is also wonderfully long-wearing and when it does fade, it fades evenly and nicely.
Your skin tone/coloring: Fair-Light/neutral (Armani shade 4 or McEvoy shade 2 or 2.5 depending on the season and formula)
Most long-wearing foundation? For medium coverage – Giorgio Armani Luminous Silk, For light coverage – Trish McEvoy Even Skin
Most long-wearing lipstick formula? Sephora Luster Matte tied with Clinique Color Pop (but as I am a coffee drinker I apply all day anyway and my fav shades are in other lines.)
Most long-wearing blush formula? Tie between UD Afterglow and Lancome Blush Subtil. Actually, Shu Uemura makes a great long lasting blush, I just haven’t found the right shade for me – but if you can find a good shade, their blush is amazing.
