Lip Color for Men


I must apologize to my visitors. I totally abandoned this space for some time. I think I'm back.

We left off on men's cosmetics--particularly on lip color. I have tried a few products and I found one that I really like:

Estée Lauder's Double Wear Stay-In-Place Lip Stain Duo

Colors: Coral Stain (for the fair-skinned guys or the more subtle guys); Cherry Stain (for the more tanned guys--the color is more plum so if that's the shade that agrees with your skin tone, then go for it).

What I recommend is that you stroke the stain on and once it dries, finish it off with your favorite lip balm. This is lasting and subtle color but if you're a murse guy, you can throw this subtly into one of the zippers in your man bag. What's great about the product is that if you want more color, just add more coats to get the color saturation you want. You're in control!

I wish this product came without the gloss because I have no use for it. It's about $20 at your local department store and will last a few months.
