Use a lip brush to apply
your lipstick. It helps to control the amount of color you use and
helps define the shape of your lips.

For easy lipstick stain
removal, apply glycerin to affected area and wash as usual.

Want shine? Add gloss
over your lipstick.
-
Want lots of shine and
color, try a lip lacquer over your lipstick.
-
Too much shine? Hold a
single-ply tissue against your lips and dab a little loose powder on
the tissue. Some of the powder will sift through and stick to your
lipstick thus reducing the shine.
-
Do you need to wear matte
lipstick, but find it’s drying your lips? Use a lip primer or lip
color fixative before applying your lipstick.
-
Want that special look
for the evening? Put on your favorite color of lipstick. Then,
apply a gloss in silver, gold or an iridescent shade over it.

Want a pouty, sexy
mouth? Dab a touch of gloss in the center of your top lip.

Wearing a red lipstick?
Line your entire lip with a brown lip liner before applying your
lipstick. This will help the red pigment last longer.
-
Update your old shade of
lipstick by covering it with a Lip Gloss in the same color. Or,
apply a frosted gloss over your old color. It’ll look like you have
a new lipstick.
-
Use an
eyeliner pencil to
line your lips and your eyes. Choose a shade that is red-brown or
plum brown so it will compliment your lipstick and still look good
on your eyes.
-
If you are chewing off
your lipstick during meals, keep your lips off the utensils.
-
If you want to make your
teeth look whiter, use pink, red, or plum colored lipstick.
Orange-toned lipstick will make your teeth look more yellow.
-
To avoid getting lipstick
on your teeth: after applying your lipstick, form your lips into an
“O”. Insert your finger into your mouth. Slightly tighten your
lips around your finger. Slowly remove your finger from your
mouth. All of the excess lipstick should be on your finger.
-
Gently rub
your lips with a washcloth before applying lipstick to remove any
loose skin cell thus making your lips smoother.
-
If you don’t
want to use a lip liner, apply foundation around the lips to give a
precise look.
