I always make the mistake of putting on my lipstick before I eat breakfast. And it's usually a bagel or something that makes my lipstick messy. If I don't lose the color to eating, it's to the regular wear of the day. You can hold onto your lip color with a few steps that are easy to do.
Quality Lipstick
I know the idea of $20-$30 lipstick sounds crazy, but honestly, the higher the quality of the lipstick the longer the wear. Less reapplies also means you can hold onto that tube longer which means your getting your money's worth.
Priming
If you haven't gotten into lip scrubs, do it. Majestic Roots Naturals makes a great one that I love. Exfoliating your lips gives your lipstick a nice clean debris-free place to flourish. Using a primer, especially when wearing a matte lipstick also helps.
Liner
Using a liner to line your lips and also fill in your lips can extend your lipstick's wear time. This works really well with lipsticks that have very strong colors.
