Why does some lipsticks make my teeth look yellow?

Lipsticks that are more warm with a yellow base will cast  warmth on the teeth. Blue based lipsticks will lend a cooler cast to the teeth making them appear brighter.

Why doesn’t my makeup last?

This has a lot to do with your skin’s moisture levels. If your skin is dry, your skin will draw moisture from the product. If your skin is too oily, it will break down the makeup. Proper skin care is ideal for a long wear application.
