A Must for Lipstick Lovers
I have issues with lipsticks bleeding out into the fine lines around my lips. Using lip liner and matte lipsticks helps, but I prefer a more satin finish for most lipsticks. I am sad that it took me so long to realize this product was available. It makes all the difference when wearing bold lipstick colors. This applies just like a really light lip balm. It feels nice on my lips. The smell is light and thankfully does not taste of anything. I make sure to apply this slightly outside the lines of my lips to help further prevent any color bleeding out. I wait about a minute or so, then apply my lipstick. I usually apply the lip color straight from the bullet without using lip liner and the colors go on beautifully and easily and they really stay put! This product is not going to turn your lipstick into a full on stain, so eating and drinking will still cause your lipstick to wear off as it normally would. What this does is preps the lips for lipstick just like a foundation primer preps your face. It smooths over the lines in your lips and gives your lipstick something to stick to, so it doesn't settle into those lines or run outside of your mouth. I do notice that my lipsticks last for longer when I use this and the lipstick fades more evenly. I get dry, peely (gross!) lips and this helps prevent that while I wear it. This product makes wearing lipstick so much more easy and comfortable. You won't have to worry about getting a bunch of different lip liners to match each shade of lipstick you have just to make your color stay. This is $16, which may seem like a lot for a simple lip balm, but this does so much more than that. This is the same price as a MAC lip liner or lipstick and it will eliminate the need for buying tons of lip liner while making the lipsticks already in your collection work so much better. For all this, I think $16 is a very reasonable price. I love everything about this product and won't wear most lipsticks without it! — 3 months, 4 weeks agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 1 of 1 people said helpful

Stops Lipstick from Bleeding
I would recommend this for those of you who have a problem with your lipstick bleeding. It will keep your lipstick in place and will also make your lipcolor look more vibrant! The price is a bit high but its a great product to have on hand. If you use this often, it wont last very long. — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 2 people said helpful

The Best!
This is the only lip primer I have ever used that actually works. The SA at the MAC counter told me to put it on and let it set for a minute or so and then apply my lipstick as usual. When I put it on and wait the primer gets a bit tacky so I know it is ready. You don't need a lot, just coat your lips, don't slather it on like chapstick on cracked lips or anything. I have even used this with Clinique's Almost Lipstick and it stays on for hours! I have never been able to keep that stuff on for very long at all so that is a major feat to me. — 5 years agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 5 of 6 people said helpful
