I believe that lipstick should always be the last option, because there are so many other products that give a much prettier, smudgeproof, natural finish.
If you're not one for touch-ups a lip/cheek stain is the product for you. It literally stains your lips to either a pink or red hue that can look very natural, if you apply more you can get quite a concentration of colour too. The best part is that, particularly with the Body Shop stains, they last all day. So, no need to make a dash to the 'little girl's room' halfway through lunch.
Another option is a tinted balm. These will give you colour and protection for your lips. Clinique makes a good one that leaves you looking as though you've been in the throes of passion with your man (quite a turn on, especially for him). These will wear during the day though. But, since it's a lip balm, Mr. Boyfriend will be none the wiser.
The other product I'd recommend is a lip venom. There are some companies (like DuWop) who make a lip balm that will plump up your lips, the ingredients in these balms will redden your lips at the same time.
Don't want a fat lip? Well, one of the good things about imitations is that they don't work as well - never thought you'd hear that one huh? Well, some cheaper 'lip venoms' or plumpers won't inflame your lips at all, just redden them. So, you won't look bee stung but you will have red lips. For once, cheap is good.
I hope you found this information useful.
:)

You should totally try LipSense! It is a stain, they will come to your house and do a party for you and your friends and you can pick the shades you like the best.
It runs about $20/bottle and each bottle lasts about 3-6 months. I have three colors that I love to switch between and have only run out of one in a year.
It does not have a scent like lipstick, doesn't smudge or get all over your teeth, glass, boyfriend's face or clothing.
Their website can find you a distributor in your area.

Forget what your boyfriend says - if he doesnt like the clothes you wear or the style of your hair are you going to change that for him too???
Tiger balm makes your lips go red (& tingles somewhat) but it smells horrible so I'm sure if you used that, he would not complain about the lipstick anymore!

wow that's a toughie..I believe some ancient civilization rubbed rouge on their lips extracted from plants/jewels/animals/stone? You could do some lip therapy godknows. Ingest redness to ur lips. Wearing lipstick too often makes u feel ur lips aren't that red without it so why don't u stop and try drinking water and using balm so they don't chaffe.

i jus positioned on sparkling lipgloss and then positioned on concealer stick only like a classic lipstick it is not too diminished, yet barely sufficient to counteract the redness of the lips yet this provides me a white line on the interior of my lips, even nevertheless all lipsticks do this to me or you will desire to purchase this mac lipstick. i dont understand what colour that's regardless of the undeniable fact that it supplies your lips an exceptionally organic nude look

well I don't know if it would be lipstick, but Clairol lip paint is really good. It lasts for hours and doesn't have that lipstick taste and feel.

maybe you should try no lipstick and see how it goes...i bet you'll still look great!!
try some tinted lip gloss...i like lip gloss better than lipstick because it mosturizes your lips and make then shiny
also...eating cherries make your lips red =)
