Reed Player

[avocadopizza]

So I play clarinet every single day and whenever I wear something on my lips it comes right off onto my reed and ruins it. Are there any products out there that would help me fix this?

If you really want colour on your lips while not ruining your clarinet, can you look into a lip product that stains your lips even after you've removed it?

I know the YSL Vinyl Cream Lip Stains go on very glossy, but after being left on for a few minutes, they leave colour behind even after you've rubbed the product off. This will probably lead to quite a bit of product wastage, but I don't think I'd chance it with ruining your instrument with a lip product!

Alternatively you *could* try a liquid lipstick that is long wearing and transfer-proof, but in my experience nothing is fully transfer proof - there will be crumbles and slight colour transfer as the day goes on or you eat food/drink water.

That's tough when you're having direct contact with the lips have you tried using a Matte or s lip stain I know those tend to grab the lip better.
