How important is finishing a lip color to you?

It’s rare that I care, but I don’t use makeup like a normal consumer, so it’s not really like I have the ability to do so. I’ll say that for something like a lip balm, I try to use it up. I don’t like to have a ton open and in various states of semi-used!
