I am a lipstick addict. I admit it. I have almost 100 different lipsticks laying around my house, my car, my desk, etc. I have been looking for years for what I consider the "perfect" lipstick: won't let me "eat it" off immediately, doesn't bleed into the fine lines around my lips, doesn't dry out my lips, and has long-term staying power.After spending lots of money on lots of different brands (high-end, not drugstore) and lots of different types (liquid, satin, matte, stain, gloss, and even that stuff that your friend with the MLM sold to you), I have returned to this truth: this version of ColorStay is the best lipstick in my collection. It doesn't bleed, it stays on, and the gloss that accompanies it keeps your lips supple. It doesn't taste or smell bad, and ... MoreI am a lipstick addict. I admit it.

It doesn't bleed, it stays on, and the gloss that accompanies it keeps your lips supple. It doesn't taste or smell bad, and there are about six different shades that suit me well. Even as it fades, it doesn't flake off and make you look like an extra on "The Walking Dead."My ONE complaint is this: there isn't a good red in the collection--like a deep red. Still, it beats out every other lipstick out there because of its first-rate qualities mentioned above.

I love the Overtime Lipcolors! The shades are great, the formula stays put all day without being drying. However, I wish Revlon would get rid of the clear gloss. The clear gloss is a waste - I don't even use it. Just make it a long tube of the lipcolor instead. I'm a Light Neutral and Unstoppable Nude is a great everyday MLBB. Blush Hour is a pretty looking Plum color and Endless Spice is a pretty looking Berry. Bare Maximum is a pretty shimmery darker MLBB. Boundless Nude is a peachy pink nude that's somewhat flattering. Perennial Peach is too peachy on me, though. I'd love if Revlon released even more flattering colors for us Light Neutrals that need muted shades and can't have anything too warm, too cool, or too bright.

Lipstick is my JAM. I have tried every long-wear liquid lipstick on the market, from Kylie lip kits, Anastasia Beverly Hills, Huda Beauty, Kat Von D, you name it.I first tried Revlon Colorstay Overtime Lipcolor in "Endless Spice" (over Rimmel Lip Liner in "Spice") over 10 years ago and it continues to be my signature staple. Since that time I've recommended that combo to family, friends, & coworkers, finding that it unfailingly flatters every skin tone; looking more bold or nude depending which end of the Fitzpatrick scale we're on. I will never, ever stop buying those 2 products and whenever I can't find them in stores I say a little prayer they haven't been discontinued. There are NO suitable replacements! I can wear this when I'll be sweating at a hot yoga ... MoreLipstick is my JAM.

I will never, ever stop buying those 2 products and whenever I can't find them in stores I say a little prayer they haven't been discontinued. There are NO suitable replacements! I can wear this when I'll be sweating at a hot yoga class or swimming at the beach and know with confidence it hasn't budged (Kylie & Anastasia both failed me in similar circumstances). A coworker once told me that she tried this product before dinner one evening and the next morning her son asked where she was going so early "because you have lipstick on!"My personal tricks: I apply the Revlon Colorstay in thin layers. I find that it lasts the longest this way (way over 16 hours). It applies very wet and remains flexible for a while, leaving you plenty of room to blend it in a little with whatever lip liner color you place it over. This is one of the best things about the product- as it can easily take on the color notes of the lip liners. It dries down to a natural matte finish that retains a very natural sheen (read: not dry looking). It comes with a clear gloss, but it can also be left alone, or topped with balms & other glosses. The lipstick removes beautifully with oil, but that also means it can slip when too much gloss or balm is applied- so just a few dabs is best. On this note, bare in mind your food choices (I was so accustomed to not needing to touch up my lips that I was startled to find it had rubbed off after a salad with olive oil!).
