Lipstick won't stay put


question
How do I stop lipstick 'bleeding'?

answer
If your lipstick tends to travel outside your lip line, avoid creamy or glossy lipstick textures; matte lipsticks usually stay in place longer. If you have a little extra time, layer your lip products: first apply a sheer wash of foundation on your lips. Next, line lips with a pencil that matches your lipstick. Fill in with lipstick using a brush for precise application. Blot, then brush translucent powder lightly over lips to set the colour.
