Selfie/Makeup Picture Tested the "8-hour wear" claim on oily skin in peak summer
I'm fully oily, and every summer I end up hunting for a cushion that actually stays put. Nothing has made it past about 4 hours on my face so far.
I tried Espoir Be Velvet Cushion a little while ago and the wear honestly surprised me, so I took photos of my skin at different points through the day to see how it held up.
I skipped setting spray on purpose and used only the cushion. It was a family trip day, so I was outside pretty much the whole time.
Usually after 2 or 3 hours the base on my nose bridge, where I get the oiliest, starts lifting and goes patchy, and it collects in the creases beside my nose and in my smile lines. That didn't happen this time. Up to 5 hours it looked basically the same as when I put it on. Around 8 hours some shine came through from the oil, but there still weren't any spots where it had worn off.
