If you like Revlon, try Colourstay. You can get one for dry skin and one for oily. I get at least 8 hours wear, with a little powder to help set it.
Higher-end options:
M.A.C Studio Fix Fluid Foundation. I use this on almost all of my bridal clients as it lasts all day, even in hot weather. It's buildable too, so you can have medium or full coverage.
I would suggest you stear clear of mousse formulas as the light texture means they don't have the stamina of liquid or powder. I find that the skin's natural oils break through quickly too, leaving them patchy as the day goes on.
If I think of other options I'll pop back in. Hope you find something that suits you well.
PS: meant to add that you could also consider using a primer with your current foundation. I know it's another step and definitely not one of those 'must have' products, but it does help your base last. There are plenty around - worth getting samples/trying a few, as some people react to the silicones that are often in primers.

Thank you Buffy and Heather! I have heard of MAC, and thought it was a bit pricey, but for $36, I think that's pretty much on par with revlon prices. Thank you, now I can go have a good look well armed. And maybe at some primers or powder too.
I used to use Revelon age defying foundation all the time and then we moved to the middle of nowhere, it was hot as and my makeup was always on my sunnies etc......so gross! I tried several different types and nothing worked til I found ISSADA in our hair dressers shop. I got the Mineral Liquid foundation, goes on as liquid creme and turns into powder (if that makes sense) so it never runs or gets oily and I don't need powder also. But I do have a mineral powder for extra cover when needed or for just when ever and it's actually covergirl from woolworths retails for about $10 and is awesome. The best powder puff thingy and goes on great.
