Longer Lasting Lipstick

Exfoliate the lips using a damp tooth brush.

Before you apply the lipstick, use a sponge to dab a powder foundation around the outside of the lips. It will help the color from seeping out side the lip line and it will make a subtle contrast which will make the lips look fuller.

Apply lip moisturizer. If there is any excess remove it by pressing a tissue.

If you need a lighter application use the brush. If you apply directly from the tube the pigmentation will be more and it will last longer.

Line the edges with a suitable lip liner pencil. it will create a barrier against further bleeding, since the liner pencil is more drier and waxier than the lipstick.

Blot the lips by putting a tissue between the lips and gently press down. It will take off the excess pigment that cause the lipstick smear. If you want you can apply a second coat.

After you applied the lipstick cover your index finger with a tissue and put it inside the mouth and pull it out. Its the best way to remove any color that has spread to the inside of your lips.

Apply lip gloss using a brush.
