@wagirl - like you I had the fading issue in the past also. Not sure what got me to try again. I always use a primer under my foundation which may help? This time though I've set my face with a setting spray - Milani - and maybe thats made the difference. I spray some of the setting spray on a sponge and just gently dab it on my face - @Shanus told me about that trick instead of spraying it on the face and it works great. Obviously, could just be I'm using a better product that works for me and the above is not it at all. LOL
@JudyL @wagirl If you want, you can spray setting spray before applying blush and after...at least 10" away so it doesn't bead up in droplets. If applying a powder blush or bronzer, I sometimes also spray the brush.

@Shanus - Thanks for the tip! I may try that next time I use the cream blush/bronzer and never thought about spraying the blush brush when using powders. Thank you!

The Tarte duo - Pink Sands/Seychelles are, I think, fabulous. There was one other choice offered but is for darker skin tones.
Thank You!

Michelle Phan is the founder of EM Cosmetics but I don't know what the EM stands for. She is considered the original "beauty influencer" on YT.

At what point in your make-up application do you do this?

@SurferWife - I use setting spray at the end of my application. Trying to think if I do it before or after powder. If I do it before powder, then after powder I will do it again or just use a damp sponge where I powdered. Hope this makes sense. When I used to spray it directly on my face, it always seemed too much no matter how far away I held the spray. I spray about 3 spritzes on a dry sponge and dab and sometimes repeat if I feel its necessary. It seems to be working for me.

I tried using a cream blush today. I said earlier in this thread that I hadn't had any luck with it. I had picked up an Ulta brand cheek & lip product in a small fat tube on a whim last time I was there. It was $10. After applying all my makeup except highligher & finishing powder I patted it on and then used my fingers to blend. At first, it didn't look like any applied, and then suddenly it was too much, but after I blended it, it was good. I applied my highlighter and Hourglass powder. I was quite happy with it. I checked it a few minutes ago (about 3:30 pm) and it does appear that a lot of it has faded. But, I can't remember when I have actually needed my makeup to look good for hours on end. It still looked good around 11:30 when I got home from church and changed clothes.
My eyeshadow still looks great though although some of the lower liner has disappered. I have yet to find a Navy gel-type liner that doesn't migrate a little, so I usually end up running a finger under my eye to get rid of the errant liner.
