Want to make lipstick colour last? After applying a layer of lipstick, blot your lips with a tissue, dab on a small amount of translucent face powder and then apply another layer of lipstick. Voilà! Longer lasting lipstick!
For added staying power, I would recommend using a highly pigmented matt lipstick, such as YSL Rouge Pur Couture Lipstick in Le Rouge (£25.00 yslbeauty.co.uk / $35.00 Sephora).
