Have you ever put on one of your favorite foundations, only to look in the mirror a few hours later to see it washed away, cakey, or no longer giving the right coverage? If so, it may be time to ditch your old foundation and try something new. Your foundation is the base for all of your makeup, so it’s important to start with a good one so that it can last you through day and night without much work.
Long-wear foundations are what you want when going from daytime makeup to nighttime glam, but finding one isn’t all that easy. When speaking with Byrdie, Emily Amick, a New York City-based makeup artist, explained that long-wear foundations work by having a higher water content that sticks to your face for a longer period of time. But you want to make sure you are also choosing one that isn’t too thick or cakey. Some great options are the Estée Lauder Double Wear Stay-in-Place Liquid Makeup Foundation, which is the ultimate foundation for full-coverage, or for a super affordable option, the L’Oreal Paris Makeup Infallible Foundation is buildable and contains an SPF.
