Yeah, it does help it to last longer. Darn it, now I can’t remember the exact order in which I layer it…I think I kind of brush/mix the stain and the lipstick together.

I know the last time I wore that kind of combo, I was wearing red lipstick through a meal and it really helped the color last. Less ended up on the rim of my glass and more stayed on my lips. At the end of the meal I was like, “oh, time for a touch-up…wait, no, it’s not necessary!”

Hey Carrie! I agree, the lasting power is definitely longer than a regular lipstick. When you layer, does it extend the wearing time?

Hey Sal! I have not, though I’ve seen them – there’s something about paying $9+ for a drugstore lip product that gets me, lol.

I have the Laura Mercier lip stain in Mulberry and it is a bit stain-like, I think. While not a true stain, it definitely lasts longer on me than regular lipsticks and balms. I like layering it with other red/plum lipsticks and glosses. Too bad I don’t like any of the other colors it comes in, though, or I would pick up more of these!
