Your skin tone/coloring: light to medium warm (probably just light by now lol)

Most comfortable long-wearing lip color? The Estée Lauder Pure Color Envy lipsticks. Are they considered to be long-wearing though?

Longest-wearing lip color you own? Tough one… I’m not sure actually. Probably one of my Revlon ColorStay lippies.

Best lip pencil formula? I’ve only tried two brands, Bobbi Brown and Catrice, lol 🙂 So yeah, I can’t make a proper decision yet.

3. Longest wearing lip color I own: NYX Soft Matte Lip Cream
4. Best Lip Pencil Formula: I don’t really own lip pencils 0_o I use the NYX Lip Primer instead!

Your skin tone/coloring: Medium dark with yellow undertones. MAC NC 45, Nars Macao, UD 9.0/10.0
Most comfortable long-wearing lip color? Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets are amazing!
Longest-wearing lip color you own? Again, Bourjois Rouge Edition Velvets. I’m not big into long-wear lip colour, but these are great.
Best lip pencil formula? I think I only own two or three lip pencils, and I only use one: MAC Cherry is my choice for under a red lipstick. It’s creamy but not too creamy, and not too drying.

Longest-wearing lip color you own? Probably OCC Technopagan lip tar or Hourglass Liquid Lipstick in Empress

Your skin tone/coloring: NC20-25 naturally, NC35-40 when sun tanned
Most comfortable long-wearing lip color: Probably MAC Rebel. Happy Skin’s Shut Up and Kiss Me in “First Kiss,” too.
Longest-wearing lip color you own: MAC Sin, I think? A bit difficult to decide, but most MAC matte lipsticks last reaaaally long on my lips.
Best lip pencil formula: Definitely the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencil! Works as a liner and lipstick in one. Very well pigmented, too.

Most comfortable long-wearing lip color? Armani Lip Maestro
Longest-wearing lip color you own? Armani Lip Maestro (#400)
Best lip pencil formula? Urban Decay’s liners

Annija Avatar

Your skin tone/coloring: Fair with rosy undertones
Most comfortable long-wearing lip color? Urban Decay Super-Saturated Hugh Gloss Lip Color, I think it’s not mean to be long-wearing, but on me, it kind of is.
Longest-wearing lip color you own? Sephora Color Lip Last – it does not wear off. Ever.
Best lip pencil formula? I don’t use those.

I’m an NC15, blue-eyed blonde.
Armani Maestro is by far my favourite for long-lasting, comfortable lip colour. I own the 400, a classic, beautiful red. It keeps my VERY dry lips happy for as long as I choose to wear it, and it stays on beautifully.
Most long-lasting on me was the Max Factor LipFinity, which felt like dipping my lips in cement. Not pleasant.

Most comfortable long-wearing lip color? Maybelline Superstay 24 Hour Lipstick in Fuchsia Forever

Longest-wearing lip color you own? Wet n Wild Megalast Lipcolor in Cherry Bomb

Best lip pencil formula? Inglot Soft Precision Lipliner #74.. absolute holy grail lip liner. The only one I use and I’m on my second one

Your skin tone/coloring: Fair, cool
Most comfortable long-wearing lip color? Clarins Rouge Prodige (now discontinued, RATS!)
Longest-wearing lip color you own? Either MAC or that TooFaced “Melted” (which I rarely wear as it’s so intense)
Best lip pencil formula? Like lip-liner? If so, Lise Watier Virtual (it’s invisible) or MAC Dervish. For an actual “lipstick pencil”, I’ve only got those Chubby Sticks from Clinique, so I guess they’d have to be “the best”.

Fran Avatar

Your skin tone/coloring: between fair and light; cool undertones, warm features
Most comfortable long-wearing lip color? I have yet to meet a lip color that’s actually long-wearing on my lips, maybe partly because I can’t wear lip color products comfortably without at least a hint of lip balm underneath.
Longest-wearing lip color you own? Probably Too Faced Melted Ruby.
Best lip pencil formula? Clinique Quickliner for Lips seems especially easy to apply accurately. Urban Decay’s 24/7 lip pencils are especially comfortable and come in great colors. Make Up For Ever lip liners are the longest-wearing that I’ve tried so far.
