Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

post #1 of 37
Thread Starter 
I always feel like if I'm eating a meal, everything on my lips are inevitably going to get consumed, so usually I wipe off before eating. How about you guys?

Nope. I just let it wear off as I go. Sometimes I remember to try to be careful when I'm eating or drinking but most of the time I forget, it all wears off and I re-apply when I'm done.

I always do. It grosses me out to be eating my lipstick/gloss along with everything else.

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

i do every time, even if it's just chapstick. i can't handle it. when i'm rockin red lips people go "why are you taking off your lipstick?" and i tell them it's because i'm eating and they give me a weird look. i think it's weirder to leave it on!

Sometimes...depends on how made-up they are. I figure if its a bright colour, the more it'll end up smeared around my mouth (especially if its a sandwich or something). Or if they feel super glossy too. Most of the time I don't care, but it annoys me that I have to re-apply afterwards. Feels like a waste of product.

I always wipe it off. Then I get to have fun and reapply!

Me too!

Or I blot if I'm with clients or people I'm not that comfortable with.

I usually blot it off. And if I remember to reapply afterward, I would wash my mouth prior to that to decrease contamination.

BTW I think I read somewhere that the average woman unintentionally eats about 4 pounds of lipstick in her lifetime lol

Interesting. MAC lipsticks smell so good, if I had to eat a lipstick, I'd choose MAC

If it's just my normal light colored lipstick, I don't do anything, but if I'm wearing something dark/bright or gloss, I will blot my lips before eating.

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

wow.. a topic I have not even considered. When I am hungry, I just eat -- lipstick/gloss or nada. If someone doesn't like it, they can look the other way..lol.

I think a Fellini film showed a woman eating spaghetti -- with bright red ls on..(I was young and impressionable). I think that may have influenced my decision to not decide about removal or leaving on lipstick before a meal

I never do. Usually some of it stays on after I'm done.

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

I never do, maybe I should as it's gone after eating anyway. Yummy.

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

I usually don't if it's just lipstick. If I'm wearing gloss I will blot prior to eating so it doesn't smear all over my face

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

If it's more than one product or is super thick/glossy I have to wipe it off beforehand because it kinda irks me thinking of gobbling my make-up down, haha.

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

The thought never occurred to me to do this, but I think I will start at least blotting some off first. More than a few times I've seen lipstick on my sandwich and thought "ew", but I never put 2 and 2 together, lol. DUH!!

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

I do. I read articles about lead in lipstick and all that. So I do wipe off lip stuff before I eat. Not that it's really helping much. I probably eat plenty lipgloss just throughout the day. But it makes me feel a little better.

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

Half the time its already worn off before i start eating but i can't stand having it on when i eat! Ewww today i had on a minty ELF gloss with a MAC lipstick and i could taste it as i ate my cream cheese bagel this morning. I was scrubbing at my lips because it tasted awful!!! I also can't eat without putting my hair up because it drives me nuts but thats a whole other issue!

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

Yes. It's weird to me to eat while wearing lipstick or lip gloss. We consume enough of it as is. I only keep my lippie on when drinking from a straw.

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

Never occurred to me, either. I think I'll start eating less lip product now!

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

I never really thought about it. If they're super glossy and fresh I'll blot it off or if it's almost time for me to reapply, I'll put it out of it's misery. But if it's in that sweet spot in between, then usually I'll just leave it. I'll probably start blotting it off more often after reading this.

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

Wow never thought about it and still sounds weird to me xD If I had to wipe off lipstick/gloss everytime I eat/drink/kiss or whatever I wouldn't apply it on the first place hahaha
I do wipe off lipgloss but if it's lipstick no, I usually have most of it after eating, I'm very careful with it hehe

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

I hate that feeling of eating/drinking with lipgloss on! it's horrid - not just because you'll be consuming it but more so just that feeling...I don't know it just don't feel nice lol I never wear lipstick out but if I did I would blot before I eat, just so it doesn't smudge everywhere.

You're not alone on that one.

As for the ls/lg. I take of lg and blot dark ls. But it's only lg that I HAVE to take of before eating.
I'm more grossed out by ls/lg on my glass lol. I just ask for a straw when it is

As a kid I used to eat chap stick, I've been told lol :s
My grandma freaked out, when she found that I had put it on my lips and licked it of again and gone through half a chap stick (think I was about 4years)

LOL so happy it wasn't just me. My mom wouldn't let me have my own chap stick untill I was about 8 or 10, because of that incidence.

Lol, when we were kids, my best guy friends would say "Hey do you have any lip balm?" and then take my fruity lip balms in the pots and eat them.

Re: Do you wipe off your lip products before eating?

If I'm just snacking on like crackers or something, I usually won't bother doing anything. If I'm sitting down to a full meal, if I remember I might blot the ls/lg. If I go to drink something and I can still feel the product on my lips I have to blot it off because I hate smearing cups with my lip stuff. Even if I'm going out and drinking from a straw I still think it's really gross to be able to see my lip print on the straw so I have to wipe off the product.
