Lasting Lips!

Hello Everyone! I wanted to share with you a trick I use to make my lipstick last all night. This post comes from someone who approached me with a lipstick dilemma last week. One comment I hear often from ladies when it comes to lipstick "It doesn't stay put" The truth is that if you're going out to dinner or a party where you will be eating and drinking, there is no way your lips will look perfect all night. But you can help them stay longer by following these tips.

Step One: Line your lips. Be sure to use a lip pencil that is close to the color of your lipstick. The lip liner I chose is actually more pink than the lipstick. Depending on the formulas of the products you use and how you apply the lipstick, it may bleed and change the color of your lipstick, so be aware and maybe test it out before the big night. Also, this is the time to make edits. If you would like fuller lips, draw them on. Not sure how far to go? Use your natural lip as a guide, draw just outside the natural lip instead of inside.

Step Two: Fill it in. Yes, I said fill it in. This will create a nice base for the lipstick.

 

Step Three: Apply the lipstick. Then blot with a tissue. Then re-apply. I chose to use a lip brush, because it gives me more control. But if you're comfortable with just using the tube, by all means. Be sure to take the lipstick with you, so that you can touch up if necessary after dinner. 

 

 There it is! I hope everyone enjoyed my tips on how to make your lipstick last longer! If you have any comments, or would like help solving a beauty problem, let me know! See you next time!
