M.A.C. Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour ($20, maccosmetics.com)

"Do not apply in a moving vehicle. Do not apply while intoxicated. Do not apply if you have any reservations about continuing to wear this lipstick for the next 14 hours. Like a tenant in a Manhattan rent-controlled apartment, it's not going anywhere. I fell asleep with it on, and it was still going strong after I brushed my teeth in the morning. The texture was great -- no feathering or dry lips -- and it faded evenly. I'd recommend this for those who are strong of will … and steady of hand." -- Jen, 30
