Did you know this little Gourmet-esque tip? If you’re drinking wine at dinner, and don’t want to get lipstick on your glass (which both looks icky and removes your color), here’s a trick: Simply lick the edge of the glass quickly right before you take a sip. Voila!

Here’s another good tip: Use a non-balm matte lipstick, a lip stain, or lip liner and Lipcote. Lightly blot, then top your color translucent powder. Then use a top coat of Lipcote. Instant all day lip color. I can’t find anything as good as Lipcote, honestly. I actually order it from the UK via Ebay. It’s worth stocking up on, and learning to get used to that initial alcohol sting. Over time you don’t feel it.

I read this a while ago when you first posted it and use it all the time now!
such a great idea!!! thank you :)
Great idea!! Thanx for the tip!!!
simple and smart, love it!
stumbled across your blog via a slew of other links. so glad to have found you! loved poking around this morning.
i use Cover Girl Lipstain and it doesn’t come off on your glass! Its the best red lipstick i’ve ever used.
:)
I do this too! Even with lip gloss, it works every time.
I really love the lipstick, when i go shopping i prefer to choose a quality lipstick that doesn´t cause any damage in my lips. I take care my lips too much, because i thik this is the sexiest part of our body. So when i feel sexy is better the man buy viagra
Love this outfit!! But London is getting chillier by the minute so maybe next year…
i love this photo but isn’t it a sartorialist photo??? it’s on his website…
as someone who always wears red lipstick, this is a great tip! will try tonight.
Thanks for sharing that tip. Girls should definitely try it.

Depending on how you do it, you’ll either look very sexy or very desperate.

genius! i HATE lipstick on glass – thanks for the tip!
the photo is lovely – but so many of Garance’s and the sartorialists’ make smoking look glamorous – and that breaks my heart. it is killing people, its not a fashion accessory.
Hey, of all the methods I’ve heard, yours makes the most sense! Gonna try it :)
That’s so helpful, thanks Joanna!
I would so get caught doing this and look like a weirdo. It’s a genius little tip though.

I’d like to steal this girl’s outfit! Stunning! Except… is that a cigarette in her hand? Yucky. That’s one European habit I can never get used to!
Brilliant! I never would have thought of that.
what an awesome idea.. i may have to try that one out!
Et voila! Don’t even know if the French ladies know that. Thanks for the tip, I will try to pass it on to the Frenchies…
Yeah, my aunt taught me that! :) Very neat little tip
See, that is dern useful. Thanks, dear!
Great tip! I also love that photo!
After having been reminded that I love wearing red lipstick, this is a fantastic piece of advice. Tonight, my wine glass will be lipstick free! Thanx!
oh my! Great tip! It may take a bit of practice on my part, though. (p.s. thanks for the tip on the online music/pandora.com!)
I do it all the time. Works like a charm!
brilliant! thanks for the tip!
Oh it’s so funny! I’ve actually always done that naturally without realizing it was an actual “tip.” Love it!
Great tip! thanks for sharing!
Great to know. I had taken some photos of a glass of Prosecco I was drinking it had yucky lipstick on it. I will definitely remember this in the future.
That is quite possibly the best tip I have ever received. Will definitely remember that for the future! :)
Good to know! Thanks for the post
Oh, I’m a serial wine-glass licker. Works like a charm!
Great tip! I’ll give it a shot!
hah! That’s great. Now if only I could keep from eating lipstick when I wear it. I’ll stick to gloss for now.
first how to open a banana and now this. amazing!
I’ve often wondered about this- now it seems so obvious that I’m a bit embarrased!
Genius. :-)
you just have to lick it really quickly, so just take your first sip glass when your friend is looking down or at the menu or whatever — it takes like .001 seconds, so it’s surprisingly subtle! :)
hmm.. interesting. i’m wondering how to pull this off without grossing out your fellow drinkers?
nice! love it!
I wish I could politely pass this tip on to the women where I tend bar. I wouldn’t mind cleaning less lipstick off of glasses.
i’ll have to try that for sure – but discreetly? that’ll be a challenge………
now i have an excuse to drink tonight…i’m going to throw on some lipstick just for the occasion :)
I usually lick my lips before I drink… it works the same, and possibly looks sexier than licking your glass. Heehee!
good to know!!
I have tried, definitely works!
haha love it. drink wine like you’re drinking a margarita! thanks for the tip.
