I fell for the insta hype! I thought it would be superbly long lasting as promised, and I splurged for Pesach. Their eyeliner which bloggers swore were like tattoos and would last for 3 days barely lasted through the first 24 hours. Their lipstick didn't last more than 3 hours. Revlon and Maybelline for a fraction of the price make me so much happier!
Im upset! End Rant.

Didn't like it either. The quality was same as many cheaper drugstore brands.

I find that a good primer plus Estee lauder double wear foundation lasts the longest. Especially when finished off with urban decays all nighter setting spray. As for eye liner, I tried many and this cheaper one lasts longest. 2+ days for sure. The loreal Infallible pro last Waterproof pencil.
My makeup was still visible on the third day yom tov.

My fendi long wear eyeliner stays on perfectly without a smudge. On motzei shabbos I still had my wings on. TMI

It looked nice for a bit but didnt last at all! Mostly upset about the eyeliner I cant figure out how to push it up and I usually buy it in the dollar store so its a big deal.

I don't know what hype you're referring to but I could have told you that about the lipstick.
I've been wearing if for years cause I like it and I found a color that is perfect for me but it in no way compares in longevity to Revlon or CoverGirl's longlasting lip colors.
Not in the same league at all.

They are always pushing it at super-pharm. I have never been super impressed. The foundation smells.

I actually love the eyeliner. For me it stays at Least 2 days. I need my gade eyeliner and revlon lipstick gets me through shbbs and chag feeling and looking pretty.
I think it depends on skin type for some it last and others not

Tip of how to make any lipstick stay longer (this is from a make-up artist)
Apply lipstick
take a tissue and divide it into half, that means separating the 2-ply tissue
bite into the tissue, lips should touch the tissue well
with loose powder, cover you lip area and gently brush it off
apply a second layer of lipstick
finished
this trick makes the color more intense and it stays much longer.

It's always been a cheaper brand in Israel. Usually slightly cheaper than Revlon. I guess they had a good advertising campaign this year.

I really need to get to the bottom of this before I fork out a bunch of money to buy the eyeliner. Is it really long lasting??? Gotta know.

I think the eye liner actually lasts me along time. Definitely let’s me the whole shabbos along with the eye shadow.

But not as cheap as Careline and that was being pushed for a while for being long lasting etc.

AMC EYELINER GEL 77

I use this gel eyeliner for shabbos. Lasts perfectly on my eyes forever, and my skin usually gets rid of makeup fast. It also lasts forever in that I bought it over a year ago and still have plenty left still.

Lipstick- I'm still searching Smile

I tried the eyeliner for Pesach and it did not go on nicely, it got everywhere and took forever to clean up. It actually did last really well much better than whatever else I've tried but wasn't worth the mess for me.
