What is added to lipstick to make it last hours and hours, the new stuff that is fairly expensive?

I LOVE the Max Factor Lipfinity lipsticks!!! They last all day and sometimes you can find them onsale (sometimes) for $8.99 usually I think they are $11.99.





You can buy it at and local drug store, walmart, or similar type store.





My best guess on why it last so long is they now separate the moisturizer and the color. First you apply the color/lipstick. After you apply the gloss. The gloss wears off and you may need to reapply throughout the day but the color never does. I think separating them did the trick!!!! My color lasts all day!!!!What is added to lipstick to make it last hours and hours, the new stuff that is fairly expensive?
I don't know what product you're talking about exactly, but I do know a trick that makes lipstick virtually impossible to kiss-off.





1. Dab your usual coverstick onto your lips as a ';foundation'; for your lipstick. (This sounds like a weird thing but trust me, it is widely used and the results are fantastic!)


2. Apply one thin layer of lipstick over this ';foundation';. Gently dab at any excess lumps or uneven layers with a wad of toilet paper.


3. Now apply one more layer of ';foundation'; and finish off with another layer of lipstick and a little gloss if you need it.





Good Luck!

Long lasting lipstick,does it have lead in it?

Some one just told me long lasting lipstick has lead in to make it stay on. Is this true?Long lasting lipstick,does it have lead in it?
yes and too many harmful chemicals ehich can harm your lips permanantlyLong lasting lipstick,does it have lead in it?
yes indeed, its better not to use it.
All lipsticks have lead. Why? Because lead is used for the colors of the lipsticks!





There's nothing to worry about this issue coz they just put enough lead to lipstick, which won't harm the woman's health!





I heard that thing way b4, and this was what i got from the net...





Comments: False. This fear-mongering email is long on misinformation and short on verified facts. Laboratory tests have shown that some name-brand lipsticks sold in the U.S. do contain trace amounts of lead from the dyes used in their manufacture, but the lead content of these coloring agents is strictly controlled by the Food %26amp; Drug Administration to meet currently accepted safety standards and pose no serious health threat, according to a statement from the American Cancer Society.


Moreover, the message is both inaccurate and misleading when it implies that cancer is the main health hazard posed by lead exposure. Though it is indeed listed by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency as a probable human carcinogen, lead has other, more direct health effects -- including brain damage, nerve disorders and reproductive problems -- that are far more worrisome.


Thus the information in this email is totally untrue and it should not be forwarded to others. Lipsticks manufactured by the companies named in the message do not contain dangerous levels of lead. Of course, it might be possible that illegally imported lipsticks or those procured in countries that do not stringently regulate the manufacture of cosmetics might contain dangerous substances. However, in most modern nations, lipsticks bought from reputable cosmetics companies are likely to be perfectly safe.


Lead in lipstick causing cancer


I have recently read that many lipsticks contain lead and this can cause cancer - is this true?








This question has come up because an email circulates from time to time saying that lipsticks contain lead and therefore cause cancer. This isn't true. The email appears to be one of the many hoax emails claiming that a variety of everyday products can cause cancer. We've had deodorant, shampoo, washing up liquid and now lipstick. None of these claims are true and just spread alarm unnecessarily.





This particular email says that a number of well known brands of lipstick contain lead. It claims that the longer your lipstick stays on, the more lead it contains. The email goes on to tell you how to test if the lipsticks you wear contain lead. It suggests that you put some lipstick on your hand scrape a gold ring across it and if the lipstick stripe turns black then it has lead in it. None of this is true.





Will scratching lipstick with a gold ring show you how much lead is in it? Basically no! No such test could give you this information. This seems to be based on some ancient alchemy myth but has become rather garbled.





The UK has strict laws about the production of cosmetic products. Manufacturers cannot sell a new product to the public before it has been safety tested. An organisation called The Cosmetic Toiletry and Perfumery Association (CTPA) provides information about regulation of cosmetics in the UK. The CTPA abides by regulations set out by the European Community. These list substances that are banned from cosmetics. Lead is banned from all cosmetics, apart from hair dyes. You are most likely to be exposed to lead if you work in the paint industry or make lead batteries. The Health and Safety Executive monitor workplace health in the UK. They say that lead cannot be absorbed through the skin. If you do have too much lead in your body, the likely results are headaches, sickness, tiredness and irritability. Long term lead exposure may cause problems with kidneys and nerves, not cancer.





In the United States, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulates the lead content in food and cosmetics. They say that if there is any lead in lipstick, it is likely to be such a small amount that it will not be harmful. Another American organisation called the National Lead Information Centre provides information about lead hazards. We have searched their website and have not been able to find any references to lipstick posing a threat.
SERIOUSLY?


Lead is not in any kind of lipstick. Give me a freakin' break. Lead is a dangerous substance to ingest, and they aren't going to put it in lipstick.


Geez.

What is a really good lipstick that lasts a long time?

I do not like glossy lipsticks but prefer mat finishes. I like MAC.What is a really good lipstick that lasts a long time?
use the MAC pro longwear lip color and just leave the gloss coat off to avoid the shine you don't want. I use it and love it!What is a really good lipstick that lasts a long time?
Yes, I definitely reccomend MAC. Rather expensive but totally worth it. About 6 years ago, I purchased a MAC lipstick to wear for dance performances. I would put it on in the morning, dance all day, eat, drink, and go to sleep, and the next morning there would still be traces of it on my lips. I still have some of that stuff left. It is a great investment.
Believe it or not, I found the $.99 or $1.99 lipsticks from my local pharmacy to last a long time, Wet %26amp; Wild or NYC.
i think mat lipstick has lasts a long time

    Personally i use 2 different red colours, one darker than the other. I apply a really thick layer of the darker one using a lipstick brush then i blot it twice with a tissue, then repeat with the lighter one. This works for me, it produces the perfect red colour and it doesn't smudge or come of on my glass or my bf's lips and it stays on until i want it to come off.
    Max Factor's lip finite it's the best bellive me

    Can somebody tell me how long does the makeup last (eyeshadow, blush, lipstick,lip&eye liner, foundation etc)?

    It depends on which kind you get...





    Foundation if it is liquid typically lasts longer than powder. Usually about 8-10 hours.





    Eyeliner last a LONG time...for me at least.


    Eyeshadow will typically last as long as a powder foundations 6-8 hours as long as you dont rub your eyes too much.


    Lipstick...depends on the kind you get. I reccomend the new cover girl color gloss combo...it lasts forever and doesnt get all over everything.Can somebody tell me how long does the makeup last (eyeshadow, blush, lipstick,lip%26amp;eye liner, foundation etc)?
    Eyeshadow - 4 months


    Blush - 5-6 months


    Lipstick - 4-5 months


    Eyeliner - 3 months


    Mascara - 3 months


    Foundation 5-7 monthsCan somebody tell me how long does the makeup last (eyeshadow, blush, lipstick,lip%26amp;eye liner, foundation etc)?
    Mascara will start to clump and smell funny. Powder, blush and eyeshadow usually will become harder to use, you will have to work harder to get the desired amount of color. Liquid eyeshadows I have found will clump while you are putting them on, and not go on as smooth, and they to can smell kind of funny. You are not supposed to use mascara after 3 months, but I think as long as none of these things are happening you will be fine.
    use by dates?





    i usually use it 'til it doesn't do the job any more - or it smells ';off';





    not sure if there's a use by date on make-up, but you can usually tell when a cream is past its best.


    powder shadows are usually pretty good for a few years. i've kept some so long they're back in fashion right now.

    Does anyone know of a really good lipstick or lip liner, that will last all day?

    This may sound odd but my aunt just gave me some lipstick from Hawaii.It cost like 7 dollars for 6 tubes I think.It definitely stays on trust me.The brand is Magic Lipstick.It's called Magic lipstick because the lipstick is actually green but I guarantee that as soon as you put it on it turns red.I don't know if they have different colors.Hope I helped!!





    Please everyone do not comment on this.I does work and if you don't believe me then you don't believe me.Does anyone know of a really good lipstick or lip liner, that will last all day?
    Revlon Color Stay, but it really dries your lips out so bring chapstick or something. This stuff stays on forever though!Does anyone know of a really good lipstick or lip liner, that will last all day?
    LIP INK INTERNATIONAL
    Maybelline superstay lipgloss, for only $9 it is AMAZING. Not only does the lipstain but the gloss lasts for a long time! The lipstain can manage to stay on ALL day, the gloss usually for a few hours or until you eat or drink a meal. But the gloss does actually stay on through at least 1 beverage. Smells great, and goes on super smooth and silky. The gloss isn't sticky at all!
    Arbonne lasts all day!
    MAC has great lip stick/lip liner, so does this brand called forever make up...
    chanel,Dior
    Mac- Lip conditioner they look good when you apply it but it will not stay for long, there is make up for ever it stays longer and really looks good but you cant really find a gloss that will stay the whole day it may stay for a couple of hours but not the whole day
    Lip Ink products do last all day and have full color - if you don't mind your lips feeling a little tough, then I 100% endorse Lip Ink.





    Personally I don't like the feeling of all day lipsticks, so what I do is get a stain (Nars has the best and the most variety) and I'll brush my clean dry lips with the stain and let it sit and dry for about a minute. Once it sets in, I just run a clear gloss or chapstick over it and it's perfect. Lasts all day and doesn't leave a colored mark on glasses or napkins. The color is more natural looking than a lipstick.
