ANYONE HERE STILL WEARING LIPSTICK?

Tinkrbl44 — Wed, 12 Aug 2020 20:15:39 GMT

I got an email this morning from Ebay .... I have an active search going for a discontinued lipstick I'd like more of .... and realized I haven't worn lipstick since I started wearing masks. Just a little clear lip balm, but no colored gloss or lipstick.

Is anyone here wearing lipstick under their masks? Doesn't it make the mask soiled ... or is there a good trick to removing it?

I tried some gloss under the mask, then thought, Why?? LOL

But out of the tube, I get coldsores. My sister has the same problem, so it's not just me. She has to get intense medicine for it, I don't. But, we just don't wear it anymore.

Is the one you're looking for rare/out of date, or just getting the color right?

Lipstick was always my favorite thing. I loved buying new ones. However, not had any on since March 3. I don't see the point when no one will see it and I will have to scrub it out of my mask. Yesterday we went out so I decided to wear mascara. I had not had any on since March and I thought that it must need replacing since it is 5 months old. I guess when or if we ever get to stop wearing masks I will need all new stuff.

The only time I wear lipstick is to a funeral. And even then, it's very light. I wear Clinique's Black Honey which is more like a gloss than a heavier lipstick.

I don't wear lipstick or lip gloss at any other time. I feel very self conscious in it.

I look like death warmed over without it. Yes it's under my mask...which comes off the minute I exit wherever I had it on. If Channing Tatum pulls up next to me at a red light and glances over I want to be looking good.

0 chance of that.

Prior to wearing masks, I only wore lipstick occasionally. Since I’ve begun wearing masks everywhere, I no longer use lipstick or balm. I’ve become so accustomed to it that I may not wear it any longer. Things have changed so much.

Yes. I wear a lip stain with no issues. Doesn't stain even a white mask

I use the IT lipstain and blot it before I put my mask on. That way I still have the stain but no goop! With that said, I don't go out very much so I don't have to wear them very often.

I stopped wearing lipsticks before wearing masks 😷. However I try to remember to use gloss or chapstick w/wo mask. Helps keep lips moisturized.

@Tinkrbl44

I recently gave up my years-long search for the best lipstick shade for me. My stash was getting low so I tried a custom color company mentioned on these posts.

I received my 2 tubes a few weeks ago: the color match was perfect. Since they hadn't had a request for this color before, it was a little more money for the first order. Now it is considered in " inventory. "

Go to their website: Three Custom Color Specialists.com ( No spaces, no capitals ). They are in Rhode Island so shipping lipstick to states with e tremendous heat may be an issue right now. It took a couple weeks rather than the months noted on their site.

HTH

When I wear makeup I wear lipstick. I only use the stay on and very little gets on the mask.

When doing errands I dont wear makeup so I only use my lip balm for my super dry lips.

I always apply either lipstick or some gloss on my lips. I hate the feeling of dry lips. Even just being home, I will wear something on my lips.

Obviously with the mask, it's a little different. I remove whatever I have on my lips before wearing the mask.

I'm such a creature of habit. My morning routine is the same as it was before I retired ten years ago. I wake up, take a shower, get dressed, put on makeup, do my hair, and start the day. Recently, it struck me that if I'm going somewhere these days (usually a medical appointment for me or my husband, I must wear a mask. Lipstick will invariably wear off. This morning I'm taking my husband to the dentist. Neither one of us will be wearing lipstick.

I am not wearing any lip products since the masking began. I have a boat load just sitting around. I find my lips are dry even though I use a sleep lip mask at night. I miss wearing makeup in general, but I have to say it has significantly cut down on the time it takes me to get ready in the morning.

I just wear a clear gloss for moisture on my lips. I usually wear a darker lipstick which, I'm sure, would get all over the mask and be smeared on my face when the mask is removed.

@Tinkrbl44 EVery once in a while when I know I'm not going anywhere for some hours, I use a touch of lipstick. Out of the house? Not since early March.

I've stuck to my skincare regimin daily, but the only make-up I use consistently is for my brows. Probably wouldn't do even that if age gadn't begun to steal away a share of them!

Not me. I haven't worn lipstick or makeup since late February. Just lip balm - Burt's Bees or Blistex. It's rare that I'm out, and then I always wear a mask.

I wear a lip liner and smooth it around my lips with my finger. Works great and doesn't come off on the mask.
