Can anyone recommend long lasting foundation or lipstick/gloss?

I use estee lauder double wear makeup and it is great!!! but you might find it a bit thick, so you could try to get samples.

They also do a lighter double wear product xx

If you dont already use a primer under your foundation, i personally like mac or max factor foundation but heard on here bonjours is very good. As for lips i dont think you can beat a bit of dior x

I wouldn't recommend Doublewear as it doesn't photograph well at all - it bounces back flash and looks ghostlike on camera. Dior do a very long-lasting foundation called Forever. It's great on camera too. Juliet x

I really recommend MAC Studio Fix foundation. It gives great coverage and stays put all day. I always wear Smashbox Primer underneath to make a good base for applying it.

MAC lipsticks are also great. As for lipgloss I have just discovered YSL Glossy Stain which is a lipstick/lipgloss mix and it is fab! It stays put through eating and drinking and there's a lovely choice of colours. I'll be wearing this on the big day!

I would recommend between now and July visiting the counters and asking them to recommend a foundation for your skin type and trying some samples and see which one you are most impressed with ?

I opted for MAC lipgloss, my MUA uses all MAC products and swears by it.

This has made me worry a bit now about my wedding make up and my MUA as my MUA used este Lauder on my trial and i loved the finished look but didn't take any photo's and i am scared it will look terrible now in the photo's on the day.

If she is a bridal MUA I would think she would be aware of the problems double-wear causes...I've heard this mentioned several times on here.

ETA: Sorry, I've just re-read that and it sounds really heartless...wasn't meant to be ?

For foundation it really depends on your skin type. Always use a primer underneath as it helps your foundation stay put for the day and look fresh.

Primers: Oily skin YSL Matt Touch. Normal skin Laura Mercier. Dry skin Laura Mercier Hydrating.

Foundations: Clinique foundations are really nice I use them on most of my brides as they cover really well but still look natural and light and photograph very well. Superbalanced is really good as it mattifys the oily areas and hydrates dry areas. Bobbi Brown also do good foundations for paler skins.

As for lipsticks and lipglosses I've never found one that lasts a long time. MAC are good.

If she's a bridal mua I am surprised that she doesn't know about doublewear not photographing well :-(
