COVERGIRL Outlast All-Day Lip Color Liquid Lipstick and Moisturizing Topcoat, Blushed Mauve

This lip stain is my never-fail, always performs, favorite, best friend, stand out lip product! If you put it on correctly it will stay All Dayy. Might even be there in the morning, if you don't exfoliate before bed. Make sure your lips are clean and dry. All the way clean. No residue from anything. Get a magnifying mirror and a good light. Withdraw the applicator wand, make sure it has a decent-but-not-too-much amount of product on it, scraping into the tube if there's too much. (After a few uses you will figure out the right amount!) Apply to all parts of your lips at the same time, just go around quick to spread it out. Now start drawing and shaping the edges. You are going to blot, so push the lip stain that's thick on your lips to the edges and draw borders quickly. If you draw “outside the lines” you can quickly wipe it with a dry tissue and firm pressure. If it sets or dries, don't try to remove it without makeup remover, as this will make a mess. The whole process of drawing the edges should take about 30 seconds, and now you need to blot firmly onto 2-ply tissue. It will probably stick to your lips, and that's ok, just let it dry there. Now ou need to keep our lips apart and let the lip stain set for a minute or so. After it is set, if you have a bit of tissue stuck to your lip it will come off with a splash of water, or just get your finger wet and wipe the tissue off. Now you can apply the glossy top coat, or leave your lips matte. You can even choose to use carmex or chapstick. The lip stain will stay put unless it gets oily and friction, either by rubbing with a cotton ball and facial oil (or coconut oil, jojoba oil, makeup remover, etc.), or by eating food with oils or fats in it and the lips experience friction, like they get rubbed on a napkin, straw, or fork or just by touching your sandwich. Trust me. If I took this much time to type a review, it must be a pretty worthy cosmetic product!!
