BEAUTY EDIT: Long Lasting Products

Long lasting beauty products are vital for any special occasion, you don't want to spend ages doing your make-up perfectly only to find it sliding down your face a couple of hours later! I've trialled so many products in readiness for my wedding, as of course all of the beauty products I use on the day will need to withstand tears (of happiness hopefully!), heat, stress and a whole load of other things. It needs to look as good as possible in photographs yet not over the top in real life. It's a fine balance, which I hope I get right! I thought I'd share with you a range of long lasting products I've found, ranging from high end to drugstore, so there's something for everyone.

Rimmel Stay Matte Powder ♥

Does any one else get in an 'everyday make up' rut?! I always seem to buy the same products for wearing on normal day to day life, so I fancied a change! My powder was running out so I started hunting. Well with this BOILING hot weather I was looking for something that would help to keep my face looking matte all day, as my other powder just wasn't. I decided to go for Rimmel London Stay Matte powder, mainly because of the name! I chose 004 Sandstorm, which is relatively pale but as I'm constantly fluctuating in colour I tend to opt for a paler one. The orange look is never good!

I was initially very impressed with this product, it does instantly create a matte finish to my make up. It does last for quite a while, but not all day. It is extraordinarily hot at the moment, which probably doesn't help but I did have to 'powder my nose' about half way during the day. Having said this I am pleased with my choice and will continue to use it. But I'm always on the look out for the perfect product for creating a matte look all day long!

After applying one brush of the powder - there's a clear difference!
