Lipstick that doesn't make lips go dry and peely

[deary]

I would love to wear lipstick, but every time I do, it comes off, leaving a line around my lips and makes me lips dry, cracked and peeling for days afterwards.
Any suggestions?

I always put lip balm on before starting my make up and put lipstick on last. Use lip liner on the entire lip too always helps!

By Terry Baume De Rose is excellent under lipstick and I like their lipsticks too. Channel is good and more widely available

Chanel!

I find thick creamy lipsticks less drying than sheer ones. Would recommend Urban Decay or Lipstick Queen Sinner ranges.

I've tried all price ranges of lipsticks but the best ones I've come across are Primark's liquid lipsticks; a pack of 4 is only £4! My lips get very dry usually but not when I use that!

Highly recommend that you apply a lipbalm or a small amount of Vaseline to your lips,let it sink in for 5/10 mins, use a lip primer (the MAC one is good), and along with using a lipliner, your lip colour will stay put and not dry, for most of the day.

Great ideas- thanks

Bobbi Brown are good!

Clarins lippy, wear it everyday.

L’Oreal Age Perfect lipstick has a nice serum running through the middle. It’s the only one I can wear. I’m only 37 but it works for me!

Fill in your entire lip with a similarly coloured lip liner. Apply one layer of lipstick, blot and repeat a few times.

“Long lasting” lipsticks will be drying. Best to get something in between and apply as above

Mac is great but I love Kiko for a more budget option. This lip liner is fantastic:

No. 7. Moisture Drench. Non drying and good colour range.

I find lip scrubs help with this. Jeffree Star's ones are good as are his liquid lipsticks.

Doesn't sound like a normal reaction to wearing lipstick - you could be reacting to one of the ingredients? Is it one particular brand that causes this?

I agree. It isn't a normal reaction to lipstick. Do you get the same with lip gloss or non coloured lip balms? If I have any reaction, I assume it could be bacterial and throw it (unless it's brand new). We eat a lot of what we put on our lips so I really wouldn't persist with anything you get a reaction to.

I get this really badly and I would love to wear lipstick but I cant due to this. So what I do.is use a lip liner and colour in my.lips and put lip balm or gloss over the top, I find it longer lasting as well.

Thanks for the thoughts. Yes, I even get it with lip balms so I rarely use them. I've tried lots and lots of brands, the best I've found are the body shop ones with a wand and there was one called lip butter- maybe Revlon? They just leave a lip around my lips though, they need reapplying so frequently and end up gloopy.
I've tried lip brushes, blotting after each layer.
I just cannot believe lippy is so hard to wear for everyone.

I find No 7 Moisture Drench really good compared to others I've used.

I get this with most lipsticks and balms - I've resigned myself to the fact that I can't really wear them. I assume I react to something in the common ingredients.

Clarins do a coloured oil balm which is ok (though I still get peeling lips if I wear it too much). What I often do if I really want colour is lots of Vaseline, then blot the lipstick on top, then blot that with tissue. This gives a protective layer and you're just smudging the colour on top. It doesn't last but does look pretty - I can wear any lipstick like this.

Bobbi Brown Luxe lipstick is one of the only ones that doesn't chap my lips but it's around £27.

Clinique Pop with primer- I find feels lovely to start with then it seems to dry.

Just bought a cheap L'Oreal Shine one which is nice but it doesn't stay on- more like a gloss.

Urban Decay lippies are fab, even the matte ones don't dry my lips out. Do use a little bit of Vaseline before you apply.

Love Mac for colours but the mattes are drying and the other formulas just wear off on me.

Also the Clinique chubby sticks might suit you, not drying at all and I find the colour lasts pretty well.

Might sound a silly question but what toothpaste do u use? I thought I had a reaction to lipsticks/balms etc because my lips peeled all the time. Don’t know how I eventually discovered it was toothpaste. If yours has SLS in it maybe worth trying one that’s SLS free.

It is definitely lipstick rather than toothpaste. I use toothpaste every day and rarely wear lippy.
I'm considering trying the benefit tint as well. I'd love to wear red lipstick everyday!

Def lipstick for me too, not toothpaste. I used to.use benetint lip stain but I love lipstick for its deep true colour.
