what would you recommend? I like to wear lipstick for example, at work, but in my work, i can't add lipstick all the time.. so i need a tip/ a product that keeps the lipstick on several hours.

If you set it with makeup forever's HD powder it won't budge. It will leave you with more of a matte finish though. Also try using some lip primers. Urban decay and gurlain kiss kiss are my go to

A lip primer is the most ideal product to use to keep it on. If you don't have a lip primer or you run out of lip primer, you could apply a lip conditioner, then an ordinary concealer (not a major necessity though), then lip liner all over your lips (allow to set) and lastly, apply your lipstick. I've tried it a few times when I've ran out of lip primer and it does actually work. Also, you could apply eyeshadow on top of your lipstick (if you have any eyeshadow of a similar colour to your lipstick). This gives a matte look but you could apply a long lasting clear lipgloss onto your cupids bow and the centre of your bottom lip, then gently blend it outwards - this also gives the illusion of your lips being slightly bigger. Hope this has helped you :)

Color in lips with concealer and lip liner before applying lipstick. It always works for me and I talk a lot/mess with my lips a lot. It still holds up for hours.

Use a lip stain, theBalm has one called Stainiac, Benefit has one too and Maybelline has new lip gloss that is 10 hour wear. Why don't you re-apply during break? it takes a minute

TIP on how to make lipstick last...fill the entire lip with a neutral pencil BEFORE applying lipstick...this helps keep the color in place. http://www.facebook.com/pages/NessyGemini85/158924617510654?ref=hl

You can also fill in your entire lip with a liner. Or use a sealer, some translucent power would work. Matte lipsticks tend to stay better than cremes.

Well first the brand of lipstick has a lot do with the longevity. However, I use MAC lip liner over the whole lip and then apply MAC lipstick to my lips. The color will last like you won't believe.

I agree the brand has a lot to do with the wear Inglot matte lipsticks are my # 1, I use a primer underneath 1st.

there are many ways to keep your lipstick on throughout the day, although lipstick wasn't meant to stay on for 24 hours. as primer on your skin and your eyes help keep your foundation in check and your eye shadows on, primer on your lips will do about the same. the only difference with all of these primers is the amount that you touch them throughout the time that you have them on.. meaning that you are constantly licking your lips throughout the day and putting food and drinks to your mouth.. thats the reason why your lipstick doesnt stay on. i'm not saying that you shouldn't do these things when having lipstick on, but to stop from licking your lips so often (and so the lipstick doesnt crack), apply a little bit of lip balm under your lipstick. primers are also something you can apply on top of the lip balm. then apply your lipstick and apply just a little bit of lip balm on top of the lipstick (or lipgloss, depends on which look you are going for). another step would be to apply the same color, or close to the same color lip liner underneath and then apply the lipstick, the lip liner will grab the color of the lipstick.
these steps aren't going to make your lipstick last 24 hours, but they are going to help the lipstick stay on longer then it would without these steps.
there are lipstains out there that you can apply onto your lips and they will stay on for a long amount of time.. the only problem is that they just stain your lips a different color. lip stains don't give your lips the same effect as a lipstick would.
just make sure that when wearing lipstick, you bring the lipstick with you! carry it in your purse (:

i hope this helps! xo ;*
