I have bought all kinds of lipliners over my life, (I am a young 54...hahah) and this is my favorite...I like a pencil liner to go on smooth and stay on all day.....I wear these everyday (sometimes in this shade, sometimes in the others) and these stay on my lips all day...I always prep my lips (exfoliate, hydrate every night before bed, moisturize, ).....How to keep a lip all day , make sure you do all the steps above every night, and before applying lipliner when doing makeup, moisturize, let sit awhile to sink in, blot off excess....Line lips with liner, fill them in completely, rub over with finger to make sure every bit of lip is covered, powder them just like your face (loose powder), pat on top to set powder in.....Make sure the outline is powdered......Your lips will not move....Add lipstick on top if you want.....If you add lipstick and leave tacky, your lips will not last all day...I probably own 50 of these MissA lipliners...I buy them every time I come to the site...I'm afraid I'll run out so I buy 3-4 every time I come here....They're wonderful....
