Red lip stain on a budget

Here's a way to be trendy for Fall 2008 without breaking the bank. Use red food coloring as a lip stain (you may have to water it down a bit). It's cheap and it lasts for hours. I've been wearing it for 4 hours now and the red survived eating a bagel and drinking a large cup of tea. Try it for yourself!

does food coloring actually cause cancer?

[ck4801]

@AlisonHudgens Because it goes into food, it falls under the control of the FDA. If there were any substantial evidence that food coloring causes cancer, the FDA would pull it off the market. However, if you are concerned about it, try natural colorings like beet juice.

@macabrechaos Thanks...tell your friends! haha

[sosoconsistent]

great idea! Have you found that it lasts all day?

[ck4801]

@sosoconsistent At least several hours...but I have a habit of exfoliating my lips throughout the day...so I've never really tested how long it can last. I hate having dead skin on my lips, so I go to the bathroom and use a paper towel to exfoliate my lips in the middle of the day...
