Revlon Colorstay Ultimate in 050 Top Tomato   $10.99, drugstores

Joelline: This was my favourite of the lipsticks overall. Even though it was a deep red color, it left only faint traces on his lips. Once it came to the actual blowjob, it was more noticeable that it rubbed off on him (and my hands) while I was going down, but my lips still looked untouched. Thumbs up if your guy doesn’t mind a little lipstick on his dick.

Zoe: I had high hopes for this affordable liquid lipstick. Micro-glitter gives it a shine like car-paint, and the neutral toned, glossy red would be at home on a glam rock album cover. It didn’t move through a bagel and latte breakfast, but a swatch on my hand wiped off after a few rubs with a Kleenex, which did not bode well for the full blowie treatment.

During the highly scientific test, I applied two coats with a lip brush, allowing each one to dry fully before getting down to business. Most of the product ended up in my mouth and was wiped off my lips completely, leaving the lightest of red stains behind. While the Revlon had the best finish and application of the three products, the lasting power is almost non-existent if you like to get rough.

 

Covergirl Outlast all-day lipcolor in 570 My Papaya   $6.44, drugstores

J: The topcoat was really important for this one to look good. Otherwise, they’re not lying with this one. It didn’t rub off on him. At all. It was impossible—impossible—to take off. Verdict: good choice if you don’t mind wearing it a bit longer than you’d anticipated.

Z: This stuff smells awesome (I assume like a papaya?) and won’t come off unless the thing you’re blowing is an open bottle of make-up remover. You can pop some more of the Chapstick-like topcoat over the colour to keep it protected for an extended period of time, and to prevent your lips from drying out. I would recommend this for daily wear, as well as for a leisurely evening of 69 with your special someone.

 

Make Up Forever Aqua Rouge waterproof liquid lip color in 9 Burgundy   $29.00, Sephora

J: I had to put this one on on top of the Outlast—I really couldn’t get it off. This lipstick quickly made its way into my mouth, and it tasted so bad that I just had to get up and take it off. On the plus side, although it got into my mouth, it somehow left no mark on him. Thumbs up if you can be really “neat and tidy” about it, or stomach the lipstick’s taste.

Z: Disappointing for a costly professional product. I wasn’t as bothered by the medicinal, sun-screeny scent as Jo was, but found the product drying and finicky to apply. You need to use a chap and a lip exfoliator before putting this on, since it will highlight any small crusty bits lurking on your pie-hole. Aqua Rouge seemed sticky and thick, leaving a rim of red around my lip-line, and vanishing from the rest of my lips after a bit of knob-gobbling. It was not a good look. Leave this one for strictly SFW activities.
