ESTEE LAUDER Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lipstick – Stay Honey
Brand: Estee Lauder
Range: Double Wear Stay-in-Place Lipstick
Shade: Stay Honey
Swatched by yours truly: akisa
- Smooth and creamy with up to 12 hours staying power yet silky smooth with a delicate satin shine.
- Stiff at first, but once you warm up the product & blend with a lip brush, this becomes surprisingly comfortable to wear.
- You don’t really need makeup remover, this also removes easily with cleansing wipes.
- Stay Honey looks like milk chocolate in the tube, and at first glance I thought it would be too dark for my NC20 skintone. But I was blown away by how easy to wear this shade is.
- Verdict: I don’t believe there’s such a things as THE perfect nude – I believe there’s several of them. I own several beige shades which I consider “perfect”. There’s the creamy “nudie nude”, and I also love my “caramel nude” and “sheer nude”. As for Stay Honey – I’m calling this one my “milk chocolate nude”.
- Tip: To avoid lips looking blotchy with long lasting lipsticks, prep lips with a lip liner for an even wash of colour as a lip base.
I’m not sure if I’m loving the semi-gold semi-navy packaging.. Your thoughts?
Applied directly with a lip brush. No balm.
I received this as part of the Melbourne Beauty Bloggers Weekend 2011.

The colour is really beautiful and matches you great.
I will agree with you on the packaging. That was my first thought before I scrolled down and read your comment! Someone at EL seriously needs to consider re-designing it. So old-layish…
wow.. yout lips are so beautiful,even the worst lipstick would look good on them!
Aww thanks Francesca~ You’re very kind, but it’s not true. I have tried poor quality lipsticks before & if they are shocking I just don’t feature them on Beautyswatch.
Hello, I felt so in love with that colour, your lips looks amazing!
But I cannot find a choice to buy this lipstick where I’m living (Germany…).
Can you recommend some similar alternative lipsticks (maybe Orgel brands?), which I can try to make mine?
lovely regards
hi, the shade looks good on you. i wanna try it soon. i’m a MAC lippie addict eversince I learned wearing makeup. may i know what’s the smell of EL lipsticks? MAC has a vanilla-scent that’s why I also love it. hoping to hear from you.
Hi there, the scent of this lipstick and other Estee Lauder lipglosses reminds me of sweet figs.
