I've done a wear test and it last all day for me which is about 7 or 8 hours. on the 7th hour maybe a small touch up but I haven't touched up my make-up all day and it was shockingly smooth, blurred and matte!! I event went to the gym in this, sweated, and it looked freaking amazing after!! ...effective, maybe use primer + setting powder, too!...:) again, this is only 4/5 because it gave me the effect i expected--BUT i'm not giving it a full chance since i don't have a primer and setting powder to give it a strong structure to build off of for staying power. will be writing an updated review once i have time with a primer and setting powder (both probably being one/size, but we'll see!)
