Like Ecobod, I also use eyeshadow for lips, it does last longer than lipstick.
Joint tightness will depend on several factors, mainly how often and how radical you are with posing and reposing him! Some dolls can be reposed many many times with no issue whatsoever but others loosen quite quickly, ir really seems to be a 'luck of the draw' thing. I hope you have many years of tight joints but there are never any guarantees.
Anyway, welcome to the forum and I hope you have much fun and, more importantly, a great and long-lasting connection with your new partner
