I never have worn lipstick either....yuck.

I have used Chapstick now and then but it makes everything
too slippery (definitely not good for clarinet embouchure) so
I wipe it off before I play.

So I don't know from experience if it damages the reed but it
sure does seem like it would clog it. I vote for naked lips too.

> I don't care whether I look better with lipstick (actually I wouldn't
know, as I've never worn it). I can't stand the feel of the stuff. If I
have chapped lips I use Vaseline or Carmex, but it gets wiped off before I
play. It clogs cane and makes my Legeres and mouthpiece to gooey. I vote
for naked lips.
