It may take some trial and error for you to figure out whether you like a type that includes a separate gloss, one that has a matte finish, or one that feels soft and comfortable on lips. Some long-wearing lipsticks can feel stiff and crack on lips, so it's important to find one with a comfortable feel. Before adding color, use a lip liner in a complementary color to fill in lips completely. That way, if lipstick begins to fade unevenly, then there is some color underneath. Lip liner also provides a guide for application - many long-wearing lipsticks are difficult to fix if you make an error, and liner can help. After you apply one coat of lipstick, lightly pad your lips evenly with powder. This will soak up any moisture that might keep your color from adhering and sets color, much like it does for foundation. Once you make the right preparations, then pucker up, buttercup! - << Prev
