What Is Long-Wear?
Long-wear (or long-lasting) products are formulated to stay put for many hours with minimal fading, smudging, or transfer.
Long-wear foundations, lipsticks, and eyeliners are designed for all-day wear, events, or oily skin. They often have different removal needs (e.g. oil-based cleanser for transfer-resistant lipstick).
Tips
- Prime and set for best long-wear. Use setting spray to lock in makeup.
