Long Last Lipsticks

Most women know, you put lipstick on and the next thing you know, it's coming off on everything - your clothes, your napkin. Several long-lasting lipsticks promise to last all day and won't kiss off.

ABC7'S Heather Sullivan found out which one works best and which ones you should kiss goodbye.

Irene Colavito constantly has to reapply her lipstick.

“It doesn't last long, it comes off on your napkin, your coffee cup, your significant other,” said Colavito.

So we asked her to wear three different long-lasting lipsticks, Igia Permanent Kiss, Revlon Colorstay, and Cover Girl Outlast, to see how long they last. Then we tested them to see if they stay put.

To test out all three lipsticks, Colavito will give them the kiss test. We asked her to press her lips on a white mug and on a white napkin.

First she wore Igia Permanent Kiss, but it started to fade after just one hour.

It did not kiss off on the napkin or mug, but it clumped on her lips.

“It's caking, it's fading, and when you put it on it has a medicinal feel to it. Taste, smell, like something of an alcohol bottle,” said Colavito.

Then she tried Revlon Colorstay, which lasted five hours, and wasn't as dry. But some came off in the kiss test.

“Just a little bit came off, much less than a regular lipstick,” said Colavito.

Finally, she put on Cover Girl Outlast. It stayed on and stayed moist for 24 hours.

“It stayed on all day. In fact, I went to bed with it and woke up the next morning and there it was, just like I just put it on,” said Colavito.

Some came off in the kiss test, but not much. So next time Colavito needs her lipstick to last, she'll turn to cover girl outlast.

“I would say absolutely go with Cover Girl,” said Colavito.

You can find Cover Girl Outlast in most grocery and drug stores for about $6.
