Treat hair gently, especially when wet. Blot dry with a towel, rather than rubbing, and use a wide toothed comb, not a brush, to detangle.
Moisturize your lips before putting on lipstick. Apply your favorite lip treatment and let it absorb for a few minutes, then blot it off and you're ready for color.
Makeup tip of the month
