You search and search. Finally, you find that perfect lipstick shade that matches your complexion and makes your face pop. Now that you have found it, you want it to the look to last when you apply it. What can you do to make it last?
First, you can begin by prepping your lips every single time you wear it. You can do this by gently washing your lips off with a damp washcloth. Then you can apply a lip balm over your lips. Wait a few minutes and wipe off the excess lip balm. This will help ensure that you don’t over apply the lipstick to dry lips.
Next, you can find a pencil that matches the same color hue as your lipstick shade. If your lipstick is a dark bold color shade, look for a pencil that is a shade lighter. If your lipstick is a light shade, try to find one that matches it. Now trace the pencil around the inside edges of your lips and fill in the lines. Finally, blot your lips.
When applying your lipstick, you can use it straight from the tube instead of using a brush, as many women think they should do. But don’t overdo it. If you wish, you can also brush a tiny bit of powder over your lips to help the lipstick stay put. Do this with a fluffy brush and be sure to only dust a tiny bit onto your brush and lips.
Now your lipstick should stay put for many hours. It may even stay put while you eat, drink or kiss your favorite guy, if the brand is a good one.
