A little goes a long way!
I really have not used this much but for this several times that I have, I have noticed that a very little amount goes an extremely long way. The reason I gave it four stars is because I usually don't wear red anything for lip wear and second, it does not last very long. I have everything from over the counter, drugstore lip stains to lip stains from Chanel that last literally longer than 24 hours. I have an over-the-counter one that lasts up to 48 hours, including while sleeping, eating, drinking and anything else you can think of without any touchups needed. This item is good for short term wear and as mentioned before a little goes a very long way so, if you like it, it should last you a long time.
