How to get lipstick to stay

[OrlandointheWilderness]

As title! How on earth do people get their lipstick to stay and not wear off all the time???

I used to used Lipcote lipstick sealer when I wore normal lipstick. But I've been using long wear lip colour for years, maybelline 24hr lip colour and their new vinyl ink. Both last for hours with me.

^This exactly. When I want to wear a classic lipstick, usually one of my MAC ones, I use Lipcote, but day to day I use the Maybelline ones which REALLY stay.

Lip liner all over lips underneath the lipstick

Use a lip brush , blot after first coat and redo.

Wonderskin lip stain.

It doesn't stay concept this and reapply as and when.

I use tinted lip oils and balms these days so can apply without the need of a mirror

I only wear YSL lipsticks and they never budge for me.

Which YSL formulation please?

Maybelline 24 superstar works for me.

Ohhh I always wondered if this stuff was okay! Looks a bit gimmicky but interesting.
Thanks everyone! Do they still make lipcote!?

Boots and Superdrug stockit

The Kylie lip kits stay on for ages hence their popularity when they first came out.

Do they still make lipcote!?

Yes, but they hide it - I always have to ask where it is.

Wonderskin is the one for me. I love it.

I just got the Maybelline Vinyl Ink yesterday off the back of this thread - so far so great. It goes on very smooth and stays nicely moist (not like a lot of long stay formulations that dry down matte and can crack). No transfer at all. I put it on around 2pm and it was still going strong at 9.30pm when I washed my face. Multiple drinks, pizza later. I got the shade Captivated - the lightest nude shade but it’s still warm toned.

@JMAngel1 Sorry, I don’t know what you mean by formulation but I have many of these shades and they have never let me down. For years I searched! www.harveynichols.com/yves-saint-laurent/rouge-pur-couture-lipstick-980251-na06-n1-163706/

@HansHolbein
thank you. They look lovely - but very spendy

When I used to go clubbing, long time ago now, I would fill in my lips with pencil, apply lip stick with a brush, let it dry for a few minutes, blot then repeat.

I would wake up the next day and it would still be there!

My lips however were wrecked after, bone dry and peeling, wore a tinted balm till they recovered in time to repeat the process the following week 🤣

I always find higher end brands stay on better, and a matt or satin formula not gloss. Paired with a decent lip pencil. Personally I cannot stay the Maybelline matt ink stuff. Makes your lips dry and crusty and is so unnatural feeling and looking. But that's my experience anyway.

That Maybelline stuff is magic. If you forget to take off your makeup, it will stay on for days...

I always find higher end brands stay on better, I don't. I find the mid range ones are fine. It depends on the type of cosmetic.

It really does. When I wear the poppy red shade, I have to scrub it off at the end of the day with a flannel.

Came on to give both of these recommendations!

Exactly, we're discussing lipstick and I find the higher brands better. Lancome is my favourite lipstick brand, goes on smoothly, thick, long lasting, I had the Chanel rouge velvet lipstick also and that was beautiful, long lasting and non drying. I rate the L'Oreal lipsticks in the gold bullet but they're not particularly long lasting and a bit slippy. But the colours are beautiful, lovely scent and non drying formula that doesn't irritate the lips.

I've not tried Lancome for years but they used to have different types and the matt ones did stay put for a while. MAC seems to be good, but the ones I have are matt and red.

The maybelline ones tend to stick on the outer part of my lips but not so much on the inner part. I have an Essence lip gel that stays put for hours.

Anything creamy does not last on me.
