One interesting trait that I’ve noticed as of late is the industrial standard claim of “long-wearing” or “long-wear” makeup. As in, the makeup lasts so long, I don’t need to bring my makeup kit for touch ups.
It sounds convenient at first – I wouldn’t have to worry about checking myself with my compact mirror every X amount of hours to see if my face is still on point with makeup, but lately I’ve been developing a minor aversion to long-wear makeup and prefer to bring my makeup kit for touch ups (the only thing I don’t bring is the primer). I don’t know if it’s an age thing, but I find myself disliking long-wear makeup, unless you’re performing or doing a lengthy theatrical.
