Lipcolour Staying Power

For today's very busy gals, by noon lipstick is usually gone and rarely is there time to freshen up after lunch.

So it makes sense at the start of the day to use a long wearing lipcolour - and baby have they come a long way.  This lipstick lady has tried them all and believe me for my bucks, pecos, cashola, greenbacks and money I currently think Maybelline and Colorstay have the best on the market for wearability, colour and pricing.  And guys looooooove when your lipstick stays on you and doesn't transfer to them - try the kiss test and see for yourself.

Tip - Professionally speaking it's best to use balm for business and gloss for glam when choosing toppings for lipstick or lipcolour.

Remember to consider the texture as well as the color – a matte lipstick looks very different from a satin, and a satin very different from a gloss.
