Longer wear-time is a promise made about so much new makeup. Blame it on Instagram, but beauty companies do seem to understand we want to maintain camera-ready makeup while refreshing it less.

I try not to use long-wear products every day, as they can disrupt some of my skin’s self-protective functions (eg, sebum production and perspiration), for hours at a time. They are also harder to remove completely without double cleansing, which I am less likely to do well if I’ve been out late. The ingredients that help them adhere to the face (eg, isododecane, alkyl silicone and acrylates copolymers) are not harmful but frequent wear can lead to dryness, especially on the lips.
