also be sure your lips are fully exfoliated before putting it on...
no lip liner under it as well...i find it doesnt work well with liner under it...if you want liner on use it after putting on the longwear and its set

I agree with blepharisma, you need to learn how to apply and you could love prolongwears.You can change the color when you mix the gloss with pigments or you can change it with another coloured lipglass.My fave combo is Rose Runner prolongwear (it's neutral pinky on me) with Rose pigment mixed gloss or instead of the top gloss I put Pink Poodlen on it.

I too am a longwear user, and I love them. I have two lustres and a regular one, and love them all. It's a different application technique, but once you've got it they are wonderful.

Totally agree with Martygreene, I love the long-wears once you realize how to apply correctly. But it does take a few minutes and if you're in a hurry forget it. I have Femme forever and For Keeps and they both will wear all day. I wore FF the other day from 11am to 9:30 pm with no touchups, except for the gloss. And I had a big chicken salad for lunch! I don't find them drying, but I don't find any lipstick drying except for matte formulas. And as long as I keep the gloss sorta fresh. BUT.....I do alot of brides for weddings and honestly, I still would go with a traditional lipstick just because of the matience issue (I mean really it takes 3 seconds to reapply a lippie, how lazy are we?) and your gonna have to reapply the gloss overcoat anyway and I do think these can look dry and overly frosty if not done right. Plus sometimes the gloss coat is too much for bridal pictures, seriously you don't need a reflection off your lips. They work well in print pics., but not so much in portraits I have found. HTH

pro longwear lipcolour?
so i want a lipcolour that's water/kiss/smudge proof...something that's going to last and not rub off on EVERYTHING. i've read/heard that this is the stuff for that.
but before i run out and spend 20$ on it, i was wondering how you ladies and gentlemen like it. is it worth the money? is it really as fantastic as they say it is?
ps. durashell is the one that caught my interest, so if anyone has any swatches or anything of it (i looked in the gallery but couldn't find one
) or knows how it compares to mac lingerie l/s or oyster girl l/g that would be fab

The pro longwears wear very, very well. A lot of ladies complain about the application though. You have to be sure and put the top coat on at the right time or the texture will be off. I only have two at this time (Loyal and Hot Tomato), but I've been wanting more...

The only one I own is Lasting Lust and it's an awesome bright red. At first I was disappointed when I bought it because the lipstick would keep balling up and flaking. But I made a post and people said to let the lipstick coat dry for about 10 minutes before putting on the gloss coat. That helped tons! If you have the time, do your makeup, put on the Pro Longwear, and then do your hair and add the gloss coat. They are really pricey though (around $27 CAD
) or else I'd own more, I prefer to spend more money on eye stuff. Definitely check them out though. Make sure you buy a colour you like
!
Oh, and for the topcoats the Pro Long Wears just come with the clear gloss coat, you have to buy the mirror, crystalized, whatever ones seperately. The container for the gloss coat just pops right out, because you only need one application of the lipstick, but gloss you need to reapply.

I should be getting one in the mail tomorrow(colour = Fine And Mellow). I'll probably wear it tomorrow too. So, I can give you some feedback in a day or so.
ruby soho... thanks for the tip on spacing the gloss coat out. I had heard some people had problems with it flaking and such. Hopefully, if I do what you said, it won't happen to me.

I have Femme Forever and love it, it's a light frosty pink, kinda porn lips but prettier. It wears really well for me as long as I put on the color and wait a good 3-4minutes before putting on the topcoat and being really careful not to smack my lips together too before I apply the gloss (bad habit of mine) because then it makes it tacky.

Actually, I just did a search for "Fine and Mellow" on the boards; and I found a post where Nessa said that it's similar to durashell, except durashell has pearl.
If that's true, then I can go ahead and swatch it for you when it gets here.
I'm going to be posting culturebloom swatches tomorrow night anyway. It would be no problem to add one for the lipcolour, if you'd like. It would be late tomorrow night probably by the time I got the chance to post them, though.

The Pro Longwear Lustre Lipcolour comes with a glitter/shimmer gloss instead of clear like the Pro Longwear Lipcolour. I was told my friend who's a MAC MA that you can buy an extra tube of the glitter/shimmer or clear, I think for like $5. Unchanging and Durashell are my favorites! I haven't bought them yet but I've been meaning too. They definitely stay on forever though! When I first tried them it stayed on til the next morning and night (faded but still color there!)

I just checked on the MAC site and the glosses are $13 USD. That's ass. For a tiny ass tube of gloss they want that much? I want a sparkly topcoat! But I ain't gonna pay that much, nuh uh honnie. Sorry to hijack your post a little Anthem
I gave you the price of the gloss coat though...

I love the pro longwear lips, they do last along time - a couple tips I have discovered are: not to put anything on your lips first, no primer or concealer to keep it lasting. On application, don't use too much, one quick coat and leave it for a few minutes then use the gloass. That way it doesn't ball.
I have Alta Moda, Boss Brown, Luv4Ever, and Jazz y Razz ( I wear with Lingerie, I love it ). I think they are worth the money because you don't use much and it lasts. Plus you can combine it with any lipgloss over top.

I had Durashell and returned it because it kept balling up on me.
Wait months later and I just bought Lustrebloom. Same damn thing!
I have come to conclusion it's not the product it's me!
I rub my lips together when I wear gloss. Since the top coat is gloss well...you get the picture.
I think Durashell is a lovely color (it's perfect for everyday wear) and once I get the hang or not rubbing my lips together I am going to buy it again.
It's funny because I was not aware of this habit until I bought a prolong wear.
