MAKE UP FOR EVER makes a great creamy but waterproof lip pencil called AQUA LIP that holds the over drawn 40s lip line like a champ...often for up to 8 hours (depending on how glossy the lipstick is you put on top). I love 8C bright red and 9c brick red depending on what I wearing! Thanks for the tips…the lips were always easy, but I could never figure out how to achieve 40s eyes!!!

I love Lip Ink--I've used it for about two years and it's the best indelible lip color out there, IMHO :-) It doesn't feel tacky/lacquered like the Cover Girl Outlast/MAC Pro Longwear variety--this type of lip color always feels so heavy and coated to me, and tends to wear off/peel away unevenly. It does sting a bit when you first apply it, but you get used to that. I do use the Lip Shine to moisturize and add shine, but plain old rubbing alcohol removes it in a snap so I skip their remover. A lot of the reviews on places like Makeup Alley are unfavorable, but I’ve not really experienced any of negatives (and have turned on several friends to this lipstick—they love it too!) I'm actually wearing my favorite shade Red in most of my photos--it "reads" like a traditional lipstick, without the transfer worry! Here's a good photo for you: http://api.ning.com/files/6Xq9GAx7DlTLHebjpT8LX*8H5TsCy20CGpdAcdWc*CzZlMu9YR2E9rnknwtfNn5ZAWD09Li*KY07-OyIGfx9I70AUzB-amBL/DSC_7862.jpg Just saw your comment, Ruby!
