While I was judging wine last week for the Mendocino Crab & Wine Days, I was also putting a lip color through its paces. I’ve tried so many lip glosses, lipsticks and stains that claim to last all day. I finally found one that lasts better than any of those. Covergirl makes Outlast, a lip stain that looks like one of those thin magic markers. My shade is 420, “Sassy Mauve,” a plummy stain. It held up pretty well after tasting 48 wines, with countless sips of water in between. My one caveat is that it makes your lips feel dry — but then I haven’t found any last all day lip colors that aren’t dry. Retails for about $8.
