Liner base, lipstick, blot, powder, lipstick. Bold red on at 8am and still there at 10pm through meals. This is the method.

Transfer-proof colour that lasts all day
A layering method for maximum lip colour longevity: fill the entire lip with a matching lip liner as a base, apply lipstick and blot with a single-ply tissue, dust a thin layer of translucent powder through the tissue, then apply a final coat of lipstick. Each layer bonds to the previous rather than sitting as a single removable film. Liquid lipstick applied over liner provides an alternative route — longer lasting but less comfortable for all-day wear. The liner base is the step most responsible for longevity — it fills microscopic surface texture so colour clings rather than migrating.

The powder-through-tissue step sounds fussy but it genuinely locks everything. One extra minute for double the wear time.
