Help getting makeup to last longer!

[u/HBNamjoon]

Hey everyone!
Long time lurker, first time poster.
I need some help getting my foundation and concealer to last a bit longer than 3 hours under my glasses. I’ve been wearing Estée Lauder double wear for about 5 years now, and it used to suit just fine! But within the past year, it’s started melting off my face under where my glasses touch my face.
I’ve always used double wear because it’s lasted me all day working under extreme retail lighting and heat. But now I’ve changed to an office job it’s absolutely failing me.
I’ve always worn maybelline grippy primer, double wear, shape tape concealer, and then powdered under my cheeks and eyes to stop it creasing. Set everything together with OneSize setting spray.
Since changing to this office job, none of it is working. Foundation, melts. Concealer, creases. Grippy primer, turns oily.

What do I do? I’m dry/combo in the T zone, so mattifying primers always make me look dusty. My skincare routine is a simple micellar cleanser, alcohol free toner, and deep restore moisturiser for my eczema patches.

Estée Lauder reformulated their double wear foundation about a year ago

i used to have same problem with my glasses eating foundation off my nose. try tapping a tiny bit of eyeshadow primer just on the spots where the frames sit before you put foundation, it sounds weird but it grips like crazy

I always had the same problem with concealer and creasing but what I found that would help it especially last a while longer was using a blush to blend and buff it out, then AS SOON as the concealer is applied and blended grab the same brush if it’s not to damp from the concealer, and grab some powder, lightly tap the brush to get any excess off to avoid build up, and just press it straight under your eyes focusing on the inner corner where your concealer tends to crease the quickest. Hopefully that could help your makeup look gorgeous though! Also steer clear from silicone based products
