After several years of using this product and trying similar ones from other brands, I always return to Lancome Color Design Lipstick. Applies well and it is long lasting. The color palette is varied and natural.
This is my go-to red when I want my lips to look like they are wearing a coat of liquid vinyl. There is no need to top this lipstick off with a shine from a lip-gloss. It has the shine built in and the color is amazing. I get so many compliments on this color when I wear it. I use a colorless lip liner when wearing this lipstick to keep it from feathering or bleeding outside my lip line. If you need to re-apply this color during the day, it is best to remove the remnants of the first application then apply fresh. To make the lipstick last longer put on the first application, then blot your lips with tissue, reapply, blot again, reply, again, then dust your lips with a light coat of translucent powder. This method sets the lipstick and makes it last longer.
