just one hr…..
Not that long, maybe 2 hours, 4 hours with prolong wear
Unless I’m wearing a formula designed for long last, it usually absorbs extremly fast. I have a habit of blotting my lips! I’d ssy 20-30 minutes at the most!
Two hours , I constantly rub my lips together and bite them, so I guess that attributes to the longevity.
Around, 3 hours not blotted, 1 hour blotted. How do you get it to stay for ages?
x
3-4 hours. I’m always eating/drinking and accidentally wiping it off.
It depends on the formula, so I’d say 2-4 hours (allowing for variables).
Mac angel lipstick! I love it!
Haha, I misunderstood the question! It stays on me for about and hour and half 🙂
only about 3 hours
For me satin and matte lipsticks last about 4-5 hours while sheer and glossy lipsticks last about 2 without eating.
2 hours if i eat/drink…
about 4-5 hours (even the very moisture ones)! 🙂
Yeah, same here. It lasts about 3-4 hours on average.
3 hours. But I always have a gloss over which can shorten its wear time and I drink a lot of water.
Not long at all! Maybe for half an hour at most.
depending on the coverage, anywhere from 2-4 hours before I have to reapply. I find that quality has a real impact for me….the cheaper it is, the less wear I get.
Depends on what kind of lipstick. Typically I can get 5-7 hours if it is not a lustre/cremesheen
It does wear off a bit, but not to the point where it is extremely noticeable.
2h maximum ( this includes also long-wearing formulas). glossy moisturizing lipsticks like shiseido rouge perfect stay on my lips for about 30mins. no lipliner or base can change that
Hmmm… about 2-4 hours depending on if I am not drinking or eating, then it less than 3 hours. Personally, I think the claim of long-lasting lipstick is just a marketing gimmick, and if I like I lippie, I will re-apply it when necessary for I want my lipstick to look fresh.
You know, it depends on the color. MAC’s Show Orchid tends to last several hours on me, only needing a slight touch up. Morgana Cryptoria’s Azalea Blue lasts 10 hours, but again, it will need a slight touch up or a balm to go over it.
30 minutes. I rub my lips together a lot, they are also constantly dry, and so lipstick/gloss/w/e just doesn’t last on me 🙁
Not even 2 hours!
about 2 :/
about half and hour depending on which lipstick i put on, some are rubbish, i find out of all my lipsticks my mac myth last the longest and i just tend to touch it up with lipbalm if it gets abit dry.
2 Hours
Without lip primer pretty quickly but with lip primer almost all day.
What kind of lip primer do you use?
2 or 3 if I don’t eat or drink, less if I do. Depends on the lipstick though.
1 h
I’ve never took the time, but I think 3 hours is realistic.
one hour
The mac ones I like 3 to 4 hours on there own.With DuWop Reverse lip liner as base around 5 to 6 without eating to disrupt it.
not long at all, it usually comes off when I drink water(which is pretty often) or eat.
Two hours if I don’t drink or eat anything, using Mac.
Average is 3-4 hours. Darker lipsticks tend to last on me for about 5 or 6.
2 hours usually, 3 hours max
About 2-3 hours
it depents on the brand… i think tree hours… most of the time i use very creamy lipsticks and i have a feeling that the doesn’t stay on that long.
It really depends if I use lipgloss on top or not. Without, around… 2 hours, maybe. With lipgloss on top, around 6 hours. 😀
It all depends on the color. Reds stain my lips and remain on for about 3 hours. Darker shads remain longer … average would be around and hour and a half. Not long enough!
2-3 hours, when i put prep+prime lip.
30 mins to a hour.
Depends on the brand,
I will say about 4 hours on average, now Lime Crime lipstick 2 days. Yes, the retrofuturist, stays on my lips 2 days.
Wow! I’m surprised how many people are saying how little wear they get. I thought I was the only one with this problem.
I get max. 1 hour wear but it feels like even less :s.
I’m always biting or rubbing my lips together or eat/drinking when I go out. And I don’t wear lipstick to work/class.
one hr or less…
Depending on how often I eat really, lol otherwise maybe 2-3 hours
Pfft. I drink so much water during the day that I am lucky if it last an hour.
