Catholic AnswerConfirmation completes baptism..
from
The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
1302
It is evident from its celebration that the effect of the sacrament of Confirmation is the special outpouring of the Holy Spirit as once granted to the apostles on the day of Pentecost.
1303
From this fact, Confirmation brings and increase and deepening of baptismal grace:
- it roots us more deeply in the divine filiation which makes us cry, "ABBA! Father!; (Rom 8:15)
- it unites us more firmly to Christ;
- it increases the gifts of the Holy Spirit in us;
- it renders our bond with the church more perfect; (Cf. Lumen Gentium 11)
- it gives us a special strength of the Holy Spirit to spread and defend the faith by word and action as true witnesses of Christ, to confess the name of Christ boldly, and never to be ashamed of the Cross: (Cf. Council of Florence (1439): Denzinger-Schometzer, Enchiridion Symbolorum, definitionum et declarationum de rebus fidei et morum {1965} 1319; Lumen Gentium 11; 12)
Recall then that you received the spiritual seal, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of right judgment and courage, the spirit of knowledge and reverence, the spirit of holy fear in God's presence. Guard what you have received. God the Father has marked you with his sign; Christ the Lord has confirmed you and has placed his pledge, the spirit, in your hearts. (St. Ambrose, De myst. 7, 42: J.P. Migne, ed., Patrologia Latina (Paris: 1841-1855) 16, 402-403)

How long does confirmation last after your confirmed?
The Catholic sacrament of Confirmation is a permanent "seal" on your soul. There is nothing to "last". As baptism makes you forever a child of God, and a Christian, which is an indelible change so does Confirmation seal you with the Holy Spirit and makes you an adult believer. Just as baptism, when you are an adult, does not change how you act, you have to do that, the baptism just makes it possible. Similarily with confirmation, you are sealed with the Holy Spirit and that is a complete difference in your soul from the way that you were before Confirmation, but whether and how long you act on that is up to you.
