This is one of my favorite foundations. It gives you really great coverage and it lasts for hours. I get medium-full coverage, depending on how much I use.
- Set! Finding a good setting powder is important too. This will also contribute to how long your makeup lasts. Loose or pressed depends on personal preference. A pressed powder tends to give you more coverage. Powder will also help with touch ups and soak up oil though out your event.
