The 10 red lipsticks that don't shed

Do you also find it so annoying when you are in front of an evening of red lipstick and within no time it is everywhere except on your mouth? At the first sip of my drink, such a red print might still look sultry, but after ten sips, my glass has a new look and there is more colour on it than on my lips. Not very charming. I also always have a rim of colour between my mouth and chin after a meal. Not quite meant to be, and the question is: how on earth did that get there? You understand: a red lipstick should be especially in place stay put, otherwise I'd rather not wear it. For years, I was addicted to MAC's burgundy ‘DIVA‘ lipstick and pro longwear lipcolour ’Lasting Lust‘, but the latter unfortunately went out of the collection. I once bought up the entire stock they had in the shop. Not just for myself though, for girlfriends too. The girl who helped me then looked at me a bit surprised and asked very seriously: ’Are you a sex worker?‘ She asked because this colour stayed on so well and was very popular with women working in that industry. I was just sixteen at the time... Of course, you'll understand that I won't easily forget that conversation, but that colour, that was a hit. So in the years lots of lipsticks that actually last all evening. Perfect for Christmas dinner. Shop them!

Tip: don't forget to buy waterproof eye make-up remover or baby oil too, otherwise the colour will still be on it the next day.
