so it stays on pretty much like regular lipstick? not a stain but more durable than a gloss?If you eat something greasy, or drink coffee, then part of the lipstick will be wiped off the lips. I would not call a lipstick stand. But it is very comfortable for the lips, does not dry or tighten them. In addition, I usually apply lipstick over slightly absorbed lip balm, which makes it even more comfortable, but even less long-wearing. Applying a new layer of lipstick is not a problem for me
