1 Woman Tested Longwear, Matte Lipstick in the Moroccan Heat to See If It Stays

12 p.m: After a solo tour of our amazing hotel, I head for lunch, where I put my lipstick through a buffet of tagines, hummus, lentils, and all manner of delicious stews and salad. All this (and one Diet Coke) later, and I'm dreading my lip selfie. Will there be anything left? I head back to that lovely tiled wall, and surprisingly, the color is still vibrant. It has moved around a tiny bit and built up in the center of my lips. So for extra lasting power throughout the day, I blot and touch up (straight from the tube again). After going five hours without reaching for my lipstick once, I think I’ve earned a quick retouch.
