If they stopped making lipstick....

I always wear lipstick but it doesn't last 5 minutes yet people around seem to keep it on for ages. Are there any tips for making it stay on? My lips are very narrow so perhaps that's something to do with it

‘Lipcote’ is your friend Awthres. Apply lipstick generously, blot gently on tissue, brush on some Lipcote, allow to dry two minutes and then apply lip gloss for shine (I do) or not if you like a matte finish. 💋

Sorry - guessed your name then got it completely wrong!

I’d be fine as I don’t own any, a little Vaseline in the cold weather, that’s it.

Yes, Jaxjacky, I look like a muppet in all the lipstick shades alas!
Lip gloss is okay though, it must be because I have an overbite & lips like Mick Jagger. 😳

I couldn't live without my lippy.
Why do the colours, neutral, always get discontinued.
I've managed to get a few of the discontinued one I use now off of Ebay, selling at £17.

I have about 10-12 lipsticks and lip balms, mostly Chanel; I know they're expensive, but they last for ages; I probably buy about 1 a year. Think they will see me out, but then if I fancy a new colour...

I must have around 20
All sorts of makes and shades, and wear lippy every day.

I dont use lipstick. I do use tinted vaseline though.

Nothing to do with the shape of lips.
Look on Amazon for lip stains, in a lipstick format.They last all day even with eating and drinking and are around a fiver.

Yes I wear light make up every day whether I m going to the allotment shopping or work or just sitting in it’s just part of my getting up habit like earrings they go in every day
I have a couple of licksticks I buy them as I need them

Do they taste nice Bluebelle?

Athrawes, I have a lip crayon from Maybelline that lasts ages. Superstay Ink Crayon. Especially on holidays, I can put it on in the morning and be done, even through swimming and eating.

I tend to use a light touch, so just a hint of colour, but it lasts ages.

I use a nice reddy lipstick ever day. If I'm in a happy mood, I might even kiss myself in the bathroom mirror.

I've never owned a lipstick so I guess I wouldn't notice. Lipsil on the other hand....

But then there's always petroleum jelly

or, in desperation, lard or some other oily substance.

Me? Weird? Never! 😜

I wear make-up and perfume every day. Have 5 lipsticks, all much the same colour. Bedroom in make-up bag, bathroom, in my handbag, in the car, and one in the kitchen cupboard.
Look like a corpse without my lipstick.

I have recurrent temptations.
Yes lippy is one. Eye pencil is another
Boots another and black trousers.
And a gadget thinking it will make life easier.
Just bought an air fryer...

Baggs, I think coconut oil would be preferable. You could enjoy the taste too!

As long as lipstick lasts.
3 years from when I bought it? 5 years?

I don’t wear it either anymore 😭💋

I've got quite a few lippies, but all different colours, so they'd look ridiculous now if I wore them.
Plus, they're so old...

Don’t start on eyeliner Loopyloo. I’ve told my DDs I’ll come back and haunt them if I’m in my box without eyeliner and mascara!

I don’t ordinarily wear make up and never wear lippy, it makes my lips feel weird and never looks good on me no matter what shade. We used to joke though that my old mum couldn’t go out to take the washing in without eating lippy, can just see her now in front of the hallway mirror applying it with such well practised ease.

Correction - ‘eating lippy’ now that would be pica, meant to say wearing lippy 😂

Always wear lipstick or I look tired out. Must have at least twelve and I know some are ancient! Didn’t stop me ordering some more from Beauty Pie though yesterday though! Just cheers me up and doesn’t cost a fortune. Definitely would see me out now though!!
