*Matte lipsticks
tend to last longer than the pearly or glossy variety. They will also empathize (and
enhance) any dryness so be sure your lips aren't really dry or flaky before applying.*
*For lipstick longevity, use some loose powder
between coats. After the first coat of lipstick, press a one ply tissue over your mouth,
and lightly brush on some powder (over the tissue). Apply the second coat and you're
in business.*
*Many of the new "all day" lipsticks
live up to their promise and actually do last for hours. Be warned though - they can be
really drying. Most come with a tube or stick of gloss that should be reapplied fairly
frequently to avoid flaking and cracking.*

*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!*
*A dark colored
lipstick will draw attention to the shape and size of your mouth. If you pine for plump
lips but are working with those of the more "petite" variety, avoid deep shades
- they'll only make your lips look thinner.*
*A smudge of a lighter colored, shiny lipstick
(or gloss) on the middle of your bottom lip will give you a bit more pout.*
*If your teeth are on the yellow side, avoid
lipsticks with a lot of brown in them.*
*When lining your
lips, follow their natural shape. While it may be tempting to make up for where you feel
you're lacking - say, by drawing outside of the line to make your lips appear larger - it
will just end up looking obvious and messy.*
*Use a neutral colored pencil to line and fill
in lips. Coloring your entire mouth not only gives lipstick a great base, but also
wards off the scary two toned look that was big in the '70's..*
*If you'd like a natural look with just a hint of color, use a
lip liner in a shade that's close to the natural color of your lips, and top it with a bit
of clear gloss.*
