Can anyone recommend a lipstick for the 'older' woman? I want one that is bright and glossy but doesn't show the lines in my lips. I have recently started using a lip liner which has helped but need the right lipstick to go on top!

I have tried for years to find the right lipstick and finally found a one a couple of years ago. Guess what? It has been discontinued! So I bought a supply from Amazon. www.amazon.co.uk/Revlon-Colorstay-Ultimate-Lipstick-Number/dp/B00MDH1V1A/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=boho+chic+lipstick&tag=gransnetforum-21&qid=1573732777&sr=8-1

There's a product called Miracle Blur by Trinny of London that's a lip primer come filler for lip lines that works well at smoothing your lips and the area around them before applying lipstick.
She's on YouTube demonstrating it.
It is pricey but lasts a long time.

whywhywhy ... you have made me one happy Gransnetter!! It took me years to find the colour/product that I loved (Revlon Colorstay Lipstick), then it was discontinued! I've since spent a fortune on lipsticks from the cheapest, to ridiculously expensive, and I'm now the owner of about 50 lipsticks of the wrong shade! I've just been onto your link, and yes .. Amazon have my old Revlon Colorstay Lipstick!! I'm going to order the whole stock!!grin

whywhywhy ... glad that I've found it, but peeved that my shade is almost double the cost of all the others! Oh well, it'll still be more cost effective that wasting money on 50 lipsticks of the wrong shade!blush

Eloethan, there are lots of cruelty-free brands.

I like Liz Earle's products but still haven't found a lipstick that doesn't disappear within an hour.
