    Hi Netix

    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.

    Estée Lauder Double Wear (original) or Double Wear Light. This is the ultimate for staying power! Exxy though.

    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.
