How long does the makeup last? Does it run when you sweat? Also, does it cake up, get cracky, or easily wipe off? Thanks in advance.

mine last all day and it does not run, cake get cracky or easily wipe off. It does take some practice in applying; but if makeup is your thing, worth the effort.

The makeup will last all day. The makeup does not cake or get get cracky. The trick is keep your brush clean and you dont need a lot of makeup if you want that natural more flawless look. Unfortunitly it does bead up when you sweat. They have a line of makeup that more water resistant. The makeup comes off easy with cleanser at night.

How long does the make-up last? You can sleep in it! Does it run when you sweat? No. It also does not cake, and it certainly does not crack. As for easily wiping off, you need to practice with the airbrush to get a perfect application because once it's on, it's difficult to wipe off without disturbing the rest of your work. The DVD Guide to learning the application is very helpful. The make-up colors included are great for matching any face or if your facial color changes with the seasons. This is a wonderful product. I chose it because I talked to a professional make-up artist and she would not recommend 'the other' more aggressively advertised version. This was her 'go to' for weddings and photo-shoots.

It lasts all day and into the evening, I live in Southeast Texas and have had no problem with it running, it does not cake or crack and does not wipe off easily, however it cleans off your face easily with mild soap and water. I absolutely love the make up. When applying be sure to think of our erasing rather than covering. ... it takes very little makeup and gives a smooth non oily finish.

It stays on pretty well, doesn't cake up but if you are oily oily it gets pretty shiny, use gentle brushes w loose powder to blot, I used a sponge once and it took the product off. I also reccomend using a primer

I've only had mine for about two months... no problems, and you only need to use a teeny-tiny bit at a time as it does sparkle on your face. I use it by itself as an eyeshadow sometimes. HINT: when you apply, do it in natural light; sunlight is best. That way, you can see the full effect then rather than later when you found out you're sparkling too much :). ENJOY!

What type of problems are you having? I bought this system a few months ago and have had no problems. I don't use it every day but after the first use to see how it worked and to get the right mix for me it has gone smoothly. I find I can apply makeup with this much faster. By the way I am 68 years old.

The spray works amazingly, keeps you looking and feeling fresh. I'll tell you how i use product. I apply foundation then spray final seal...then i apply bronzer and blush and spray product again...then i use hd forever setting powder then one last all over spray of final seal. It sounds like a lot of steps...but I've had great success using this way. My makeup looks just as fantastic at the end of my day as when i applied it. I hope that helps. It doesn't make your face look dry...but it definitely gives a nice finish.

I noticed chalkiness initially, but I applied less to see if that helped. It did, and also I noticed that after half an hour, there was no residual look. It needs time, like most make up, to meld with your skin I think.

It does get a bit powdery. If you use a fan brush to brush excess IMMEDIATELY it won't stain. BUT leave it there, it will. Especially the brighter ones. They are HIGHLY PIGMENTED. I can't comment on Bh cosmetics because i have never tried that brand

unfortunately it's rather a small, and light bottle, it kind of felt like it's not full... , I know it sounds weird. I think if you use it only on your face, once a day it could last easily 1 month, or maybe even a bit longer, I don't tend to put a lot on, it's very easily spreadable.

I wear under mineral makeup with no problems. It absorbs fast and isn't greasy. Makes skin feel hydrated but not greasy or oily.

I'm not sure what you mean by sticky. I put it on my freshly cleansed face, after I've used toner, serum and moisturing cream. I need to keep the moisture in my skin. It goes on smoothly and looks great. My face feels moist and not tacky, but hey, that's just me. I'd be really unhappy if it left me feeling dry. I'm extremely pleased with this and it is a great base for my makeup, which is relatively simple. Blush and contour powder goes on smoothly over it, as does eye makeup.

This is a non-oily physical sunscreen, so it doesn't take long to dry and doesn't feel sticky once rubbed in, but it does leave a subtle white cast. It doesn't go on as easily as Burnout Kids Physical Sunscreen (which I believe has been discontinued and replaced with a product that is much harder to apply), but from the data and my experience, it provides better UV protection and resists water/sweat better.I'm not sure about wearing makeup over it, but given that it is very waterproof, I'm guessing it wouldn't be a problem.

It does last. It's hard to tell when you wear it all day, but when you get compliments on your perfume hours after putting it on, you know it's still there. :)

I've never had a problem with it, if I empty it by 12 hours. Usually I empty it in the morning and then when I get home from work (don't have to do it public!) It's great. I start to spot if I've left it too long on a heavy day, and then I empty it, and it's no problem. I've never had it overflow where it was a problem. I usually use a pantyliner on my heavier days, just in case, but on the normal/light days, I don't need even that.

Don't by this from here. I got it in the mail and there was NO product in the bottle. I would suggest you go to a local Target/CVS to get it. I actually don't suggest buying any makeup products from here. The bottle was quite small though depending on how much you use it, I would say that it might last you a month or two.

I did the starter pack, used it twice a day and it lasted about 3 weeks. The powder seems to go faster than the liquid, since you are supposed to "cake" it on. I didn't have much luck with it, but it seems to have worked for a lot of other people.

It's light coverage. Having dealt with rosacea, I was afraid this wouldn't be enough cover for me. And if I look close in the mirror later in the day, I can see where the makeup's worn thinner in places. But surprisingly, it looks pretty darn good when I'm not staring into my 7x magnifying mirror =D I've been experimenting with lots of different foundations over the last couple years, and I never expected something like this to become my go-to, but it is. Go figure, I just spent over $40 on an Estee Lauder, and it doesn't look as good as this. But yes, it is light. And I don't consider it "buildable." Maybe because I use moisturizer underneath, but if I try to layer more foundation on, it goes streaky. It's light coverage.

For me, there is a very light white coating as I'm rubbing it in. It fades quickly once rubbed in and given a minute or two to absorb and dry. I've been very happy with it. I have medium/relatively fair skin. Might be a different experience for those with darker skin tones.

They say if you take good care of the sponge, it should last for 3mns. I've used it w/out cleanser and it is fine- I've also used it with cleanser. Depends on the amount of make-up I have on. Regardless- I really like it.
