I’m going to go out of the box on this and recommend the MAC longwear lipcolors. I have had super good luck with long wear time, great colors (can have clear overgloss or sparkle), and applies beautifully. I have worn their lipcolors all day, and it stands up to eating, drinking, lots of smooching (!), and it’s pretty reasonably priced.

I use the Cover Girl stuff for daily wear. It won’t smudge off on shirts or clothing, but it does come off the inner parts of your lip when you eat, especially if it’s anything greasy. Get the lipliner too, you’ll want it. I use “nude” as a basic all-purpose peachy pink neutral.

I use the Maybelline version of the Revlon stuff everyday (http://tinyurl.com/yr25r4)! I wore it at my wedding and did one touch up after our reception before our formal photographs. It always makes it through the work day. Be careful, though….it’s more of a lip stain and will soak into your skin so you have to be very precise with where you put it. A little practice makes perfect!

I’ve tried the Revlon one and the color part tends to dry up and get crumbly under the gloss side so it looks like you have colored crumbly lips. I went to Neiman Marcus to have my makeup done and they colored in my lips with a liner that I liked and applied clear gloss over top. It looks so nice and soft, plus I can redo myself if I need to.

Hiya I vote for MAC and Vincent Longo. I worked for ULTA and I know how great VL is. MAC is awesome either so either one you pick darling would be a great choice. If you want a darker tint reapply it once the first coat is dry. Thats what works for me at least. I use a semi permanent lip ink so mine lasts for about well until I take it off with the special liquid it comes with (its called lip ink google it)

I used the Revlon one not long ago and I applied it in the afternoon and it stayed on well throughout the night. It was tricky to get used to, though since it does, as mentioned, get crumbly. It felt like paint when I put too much on.
I’ve tried the Cover Girl version too and liked it much better, less of a paint feeling, but I had to be super careful when I ate.
Once when I got my makeup done at a counter, the woman told me that the secret to any longwear lipstick like these is to make sure the color part is completely, 100% dried before you put on the gloss.

Thank you soooo much for this post, Miss Emerald — I was just wondering the same thing. And thank you, weddingbee’ers for the great feedback!

I love the Chanel glossimer in Spark. It’s not a long last lip color but I think it lasts fairly long and even if it kisses off on him a bit, the color is so light (although it looks really dark in the package) that he doesn’t notice or look like he is wearing my lipgloss.

I usually use it over the Clinique long wear lip stuff in Real Raspberry or Nude Glisten - depending on if I’m going for more of a pink or nude color.

I haven’t tried the others, but I would recommend NOT using CoverGirl– as others have said, it does not last all day. I wore it to one of my high school proms, and my mouth was so dry; by the end of the prom (dinner and lots of talking) so much of the lipstick had worn off that it just looked like I had on lipliner.
