I think its well known product and where I live (Scotland) its available quite cheap from drugstores. Its clear liquid which you brush on with the brush attached to the cap. As its clear you can use it with any colour.<br />It takes a moment to dry and when it does it seals your lipstick ALL DAY. It has no shine to it either.<br />If you google it, or go to their website lipcote.com You'll see what it looks like, so you can maybe look out for it to try.<br />Also, I always -especially with red lipstick- use lipliner as it given a cleaner/neater look.<br /><br />Hope you find somthing that works!<br />NikkiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-74971749974715347892009-11-05T02:45:01.018-07:002009-11-05T02:45:01.018-07:00i adore you're hair and you're retro look....i adore you're hair and you're retro look..<br />nice blog!ToKataifihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10317763410458415238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-35839724851521019742009-10-27T12:53:49.629-06:002009-10-27T12:53:49.629-06:00I'm pretty sure you can also get MAC cosmetics...I'm pretty sure you can also get MAC cosmetics at most Macy's...at least in urban areas, you definitely can...Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16214100935688298881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-73753460239855172002009-10-25T11:49:59.591-06:002009-10-25T11:49:59.591-06:00try using just red lip liner to color your lips an...try using just red lip liner to color your lips and then apply a little chapstick on top to smooth it all out. totally matte. will last all day.

I tried wearing lipstick a few times. . .when I got married and a few times after that for parties before we had kids and stopped going to things like that. . .anyway, just wanted to encourage you to keep it up. You look fantastic. :) It's nice to see makeup done like this, usually nowadays girls who wear make up look way too overdone, you look simply perfect.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06713535191616985475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-76530267195730181912009-10-22T13:10:29.603-06:002009-10-22T13:10:29.603-06:00You totally rock the red lips Anna!

Apply your lipstick, wait a few minutes and gently blot excess color with a tissue. Apply a tiny bit more. Blot if needed. I find this not only keeps the color matte, but also prolongs the wear. Although as with any bright lip color, it does tend to come off noticeably. But that's the price of fashion sometime! hehe!<br /><br />I also wanted to say I am totally smitten with your plaid shirt and green cardigan outfit... Like I went on Ebay and started hunting down similar pieces for myself! hehe!

Then very lightly put some more lipstick back on. By blotting it off, you're allowing the stain to work itself into your lip. You can leave it blotted or add the extra, it's up to you! That usually works for me. If you leave it blotted, you will probably be less inclined to purse your lips, which removes the lipstick. Hope that helps!Caitlinhttp://thestorygirl.kendale-drive.netnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-10815842214188206922009-10-20T12:51:52.086-06:002009-10-20T12:51:52.086-06:00If you're gonna splurge, MAC is great, I would...If you're gonna splurge, MAC is great, I would especially recommend Ruby Woo or Russian Red for you. But Also you should check out Lipstick Queen (www.lipstickqueen.com). Lovely product. Also MAC has a product call "prep and prime" for lips, and that is great for wearing under matte lips because it keeps your lips from getting dried out, as matte formulas can be drying, which leads to the cracked lips look...no good. And for keeping it on? Lip liner (huge difference, really) Practice. And apply once, blot. And then apply one more time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9073762742008407695.post-15897016838060195052009-10-20T11:55:00.110-06:002009-10-20T11:55:00.110-06:00Super cute Anna!
