Newbie lipstick wearer question

[pixy0stix]

I received my MAC lipsticks yesterday, and I'm wearing the Pink Noveau lipglass (love). It didn't take very long for it to completely disappear, though.

So is there a secret to keeping it on? Or do I just need to keep re-applying all day?

Lip primer seems to help me.

Aside from that, exfoliating lips, using concealer/foundation on lips before applying lipstick, blotting excess, using some translucent powder on top to set...etc....I rarely do any of these though, haha.

The translucent powder wouldn't work for high gloss lipstick, right?

I have some that I use for Halloween/haunted house work which sets make-up like whoah. I just don't use it in day to day life.

Yeah, probably not so much for high gloss. I have a UD lip primer that works okay, but haven't looked too much into any others.

What I REALLY wanna get my hands on is this lip set that has a lipstick and matching setting powder I saw once, but its not available in the US I guess, and now I can't find the website. Boo.
