French term

“longue tenue”

French to English Other Cosmetics, Beauty eczema of the eyelids
context;
'Le maquillage : certains métaux (nickel, chrome, cobalt) ou la colophane (utilisée pour avoir un maquillage “longue tenue”), '
I have found various possible terms for this, 'long-lasting' being one, but I thought that 'semi-permanent' was a term more often used about make-up (in the UK). However, I don't know if it would really be equivalent.
Any suggestions?

I took the liberty of changing your subject classification, as although the context may be medical, the terminology is cosmetics.
Carol Gullidge Dec 10, 2013:
not the same thing long-lasting and semi-permanent make-up are quite different things. The former is normal make-up that lasts a long time whilst semi-permanent make-up can involve anything from tattooing to eyebrow shaping

Its long-lasting and water-resistant formula is also suited to the body.

wear-resistant

you also see 'staying power' but perhaps hard to work into your sentence
