Get something like the Loreal Infallible Lip Color or the Pro Longwear ones from Mac.. Those go on as a liquid and dry and are completely dry on your lips.. Don't budge or anything. Or if you could find a vibrant red stain, that would work too. I think an actual lipstick wouldn't do well at a dinner event, however. Too risky :P These are awesome alternatives though, I'd say
This works too: If you lick the part of the cup / wine glass you're sipping from, it will create a barrier so your lipstick stays on your mouth. The tricky part is being discreet while trying to lick a clear wine glass. lol. xoxo
1. line your lips with a matching lipliner and fill in your lips with it too
2. apply 1 coat of lipstick; blot; then apply another one (it also helps if the formula is long wearing)
3. place 1ply of tissue over your lips and light dust powder over the kleenex; the powders will set the lipcolor and lock it in place
4. you can apply another coat of lipstick if you want
these steps should help it stay! :)

This may sound like a silly question, but let's say you want to rock a red lip look to a dinner event.
How do you eat and keep your lipstick intact at the same time? Constant trips to the ladies' to reapply? Lipcote? Or eat really carefully?
I suppose it's best to not even attempt a red lip to begin with, but what if it suits the occasion?

Andrea: Thanks for the lip stain idea! Will try that out instead of regular lipstick. :)
Nancy-Lee: Wow, I never knew of that licking trick either. I'll try it at home first, lol, before attempting it discreetly in public.

Oh Liana, that step-by-step guide is awesome!
One question - my lips tend to get dry when I wear lipstick. Will blotting make it even more dry?
