I’m a huge fan of those long lasting lip colors. You know, the ones that stay on for like 8 hours straight? Some people use them as is to keep the lip color on longer, but I use them completely different. And they work way better this way. Just what is it exactly you ask?
Well, most of those colorstay lip colors are super bright or dark.You know, to keep that red color on longer than your average lipstick. And it does work. But what if you don’t wear dark or bright colors everyday? I used to, but lately, just give me a nice nude or beigey pink mouth and I’m happy. Well, CoverGirl must have heard me because they’ve got my color.
A total array of nude shades that are gorg.
Try this trick. Pick the lightest nude shade you can find for your lips. Apply the color part first. Let dry. Now apply your fav lipstick or lip gloss on top. I swear your lipstick/gloss will stay on for hours and hours. Just think of the color part as your lip primer. The moisturizing top coat? Just throw that in your bag as a lip balm. I also use it as a sheen on the eyes over eye shadow for a different look.
See? Your lip color of choice, stays on for hours.

I cannot find #561 perma pink. I have been using that color for appoximately 8 years. Can you please help me find/get it.
I used your cover girl outlast lip shade twice, I have found that my lips have chapped and split after using this product for two weeks. Is there something you can suggest that I use instead of the outlast? I have used other products similar to this and have had no problem. Hopefully you can suggest something as the product is quite pricey to just through away.Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

I just bought the Covergirl Outlast Lipcolor and with just one application my lips are chapped already. I have used Avon's version of this and had absolutely no problems. It costs a little less but the lip gloss topcoat is sticky and makes you feel like you have lipstick on your teeth. I just use a my favorite lip gloss on top to add some shimmer. I'm thinking of putting the topcoat on the bottom as a primer and then adding the color to see if this helps. I don't know if it's some kind of weird allergic reaction to the primer color but to have paid for this stuff and it to chap my lips in a day kinda stinks. LOL Try the Avon version. It doesn't last 8 hours but it should get you through a night out or half way thru a day at work.
Depending on how strong the color dries, I noticed that if lips are super
moisturized before you apply, and your gloss gives good moisture on top,
then chapping problems don't happen. I tend to use a different gloss on top
anyway. Is the Avon top coat a gloss or just a balm? Would be curious to
try!
