As we’re obviously in the middle of the hottest, ickiest summer days, I thought it would be the perfect time to introduce you to Avon’s latest launch: the Extra Lasting Collection.

Comprised of Lipstick, Lipgloss, Eyeshadow, Mascara, Liquid Foundation, Eyeliner, Cream-to-Power Foundation, and Pressed Powder Foundation, the entire ling is long-lasting, ensuring your makeup stays put and looks good all day long.

The Technology: Every product in the Extra Lasting collection is formulated with the Comfort Wear Complex to help maintain the quality of wear. The multi-tasking formulas go above and beyond lasting color and coverage to offer additional benefits—Extra Lasting means makeup that doesn’t compromise.

The Extra Lasting collection includes:

Extra Lasting Lipstick ($9): Delivering long-lasting color for up to eight hours, this SPF 15 lipstick provides conditioning moisture for 12 hours, striking the ultimate balance between comfort and staying power.

Extra Lasting Lipgloss ($9): This shiny, moisturizing gloss wears comfortably for eight hours. It makes lips look glossy and luminous.

Extra Lasting Mascara ($9): Offering up to seven times the volume increase, this 18-hour mascara makes lashes look volumized. The ultra-comfortable lightweight formula is fade-, transfer-, smudge-, rub- and water-proof, formulated with patent-pending technology.

Extra Lasting Eyeshadow ($9): Experience nine-hour wear with this breakthrough shimmering, silky shadow.

Extra Lasting Eyeliner ($9): This lasting liner boasts a super-fine, firm yet flexible precise tip for maximum application control. The fade-proof, transfer-proof, smudge-proof formula delivers a high dose of pigment for optimal coverage and intense color.

Extra Lasting Liquid Foundation ($12): Get flawless, natural coverage for 18 hours with this longwearing liquid foundation. Pigments are coated with a protective shield to help protect them from water, sweat, and humidity that can break down color. Freshwear Complex helps maintain the quality of just-applied foundation as the formula’s stretchable, breathable network leaves skin feeling comfortable.

Extra Lasting Cream to Powder Foundation ($11): This SPF 15 foundation wears flawlessly and maintains a fresh appearance for 18 hours. Comfortable and lightweight, the lasting formula looks natural—never cakey, masky or heavy.

Extra Lasting Pressed Powder Foundation ($11): This makeup offers lightweight comfort, and it stays fresh and natural-looking for 18 hours. Mattifying powder controls oil so skin stays shine free. The foundation maintains finish all day.
