I think it was back in my high school days when Revlon was pushing advertisements with Cindy Crawford and Color Stay lipstick. At that time my color was Sienna, and when I look back at pictures I think, “Oh… my God, what was I thinking?!” My dark red lipstick color totally contrasted against my light skin, not to mention my lovely navy Catholic school uniform. I looked like a Vamp-Tramp! Hahaha…

Did Revlon ColorStay work back then? Ehh… I’d say no. Well that ladies, was over a decade ago (am I dating myself too much by telling you that?) and since then I’ve graduated onto newer and better products. Products that I can wholeheartedly say “work!”

Undoubtedly I’ve been searching for a “longlasting lipcolor that won’t kiss off” for my big day. With the all the kissing pictures I will need to take that day, I wanted one that will not leave colored lipstick stains on my darling groom, and will not require me to keep applying and reapplying.

MAC Pro Longwear Lipcolor does just that! Paired with Clear Lipglass, these are my #1 Must Have Picks for my big day.

Here’s my application method:

1) Apply the Pro Longwear Lipcolor on first, without applying any chapstick or lip moisturizer beforehand. This is the single most important rule of making this work - if you apply any moisturizer on your lips, the color won’t stay.

2) Give the lipcolor a few seconds to let it dry.

3) Gently blot your lips with a tissue. Very little to none should come off onto your tissue.

4) Follow up with the clear Lipglass. This stuff is very thick so just a small bead should be enough for your lips.

And there you have it! Now you can eat, drink, and kiss your night away, and the lipcolor will stay! You’ll only need to reapply the clear gloss.

I would not however recommend this for daily usage as the lipcolor tends to dry out your lips. Hope this has been informative for you girls! Please share your longlasting lip products and tips with us too!
