time thing. Follow these easy steps to keep
your lipstick game top notch.
1. Treat your lips like you would your face.
Remove makeup, exfoliate, moisturize.
Repeat.
2. Timing is everything. If you're having
casual drinks or dinner with your friends
before a big night out, wait to put on your
lipstick. You won't constantly be worrying
about messing it up while you eat (which is
the worst).
3. When playing up your lips, keep your eye
makeup minimal. Makeup is like a
balancing act, pick one feature and go big.
4. Find the right color. Not all hues are
created equal, at least for you. Different
skin tones work better with different shades, so try a bunch on and choose wisely —a good lipstick is a forever kind of thing.
5. Use a primer. Think super staying power
through your meetings, lunch, and happy
hour drinks.
6. Liner can be your best friend or your
worst enemy. Find the right lip liner and
it'll stop your lipstick from feathering
throughout the day. Choose the wrong color,
and you're channeling Gwen Stefani circa
1997. Our advice? Go for a clear lip pencil—
it's silky smooth and compliments every lip
shade .
7. Start in the middle. Begin applying
lipstick at the center of your lips and move
outward. That way, you'll be less shaky
when it comes to the outer lines of your lips.
Less shaky = less mistakes.
8. Highlight along your cupids bow. As well
as along the middle of your lower lip. The
small touch will reflect light and make your
lips look nice and plump.
9. Take it off before you go to sleep. The
only bad thing about having a clean, white
pillowcase? That baby is a lipstick magnet.
10. Always give yourself a day off. Let your
lips stay au natural for at least one day a
week and so you can slough off dead skin
cells, moisturize, and have one glorious
morning to sip coffee sans lipstick stains.-marieclaire
