Using lip balm before applying lipstick prevents settling into cracks and ensures better pigment adhesion. Massage a small amount onto your lips for best results.
Apply a long-wear concealer on lips to prevent bleeding and enhance lipstick longevity. Focus on outer corners before applying lipstick.
Use tissue paper and baby powder to make any lipstick transfer-proof. Pat tissue between lips to remove excess product, then lightly powder lips for a sealed pigment.
Avoid smudging during meals by minimizing lip contact with food and cutlery. When drinking, touch only the tip of your lips to the glass to reduce smudging.
Prevent lipstick feathering by avoiding unconscious lip pressing or licking. These actions can disrupt the lipstick's longevity.
Utilize lip liner as lipstick for increased longevity. Lip liners have drier formulas, enhancing their staying power when used as lipstick.
Opt for matte formulas, especially liquid or mousse lipsticks, for extended wear. These formulas stay longer compared to satin or bullet lipsticks.
