Lipstick for over 50s with "no faff" benefits

[Possiblynotever]

I never thought much about lipstick, I just bought a colour that I liked and wore it: the only thing that could go wrong was, indeed, the colour. But I am not fussy.
I now seem to have a problem: I cannot splash lipstick on my lips as I used to.
When quick zig-zagging started looking weird, I did avail myself of a contouring pencil (a suggestion found here)....but even that help seems to be gone.
Now some of you are fond of primer, but primer+pencil+lipstick is a bit too much, considering how many times a day I apply lipstick....
I would love love love to wear on special occasions a deep bright red without it splashing all over my face, but my favourite Dior 999 does not look right anymore....
Do I have to go for lipgloss? If so, which one?

Help!

The maybelline ones last but you need to reapply the balm to keep them shiny

With tinted lipsalves I use a lip pencil underneath it

[quote Possiblynotever]@PlainJaneEyre no I have not nor I have tried the Maybelline: I always worry that my lips will be too dry...does it dry lips? Do they keep a bit of shine?[/quote]
I don't find it drying. The Max Factor version I found very drying.

I use maybelline superstay.. it's double ended and the balm is applied after the lipstick

I'm 50 and use Charlotte Tilbury lipstick and liner (just outside my natural lipline) stays on forever..

@user50and I did Pillow Talk and it spreads everywhere!

@uncomfortablydumb53, I have that and it's pretty good

The maybelline superstay 24 is like a stain so it lasts a long time. Yes, it dries the lips but it has a balm on the other end that you put over the top so soothes the dryness and gives a bit of a shine.

Ok so the contest is between Maybelline Superstain and Dior Tatoo

Try the Christian Dior 999 in the new satin balm formulation - still the same great shade but a more sheer natural finish. I love it!

@thisnthat meaning that the satin balm stays put?

Well it doesn’t stay put as much as the original formula, but over foundation with a natural liner, it’s not bad at all and just has a much nicer natural look.

Ok will try
