For You

1. Pick the right shade: Test the lipstick on your fingertip – you can hold the color nest to your face to see how it looks. Your finger is closer to you lip color that the back of your hand!
2. Get buff: Caked lipstick is just not pretty. Exfoliate your lips with a soft wet toothbrush (be gentle) when you brush your teeth every morning. The lipstick will glide on smoothly.
3. Fill in the fine lines: Fine lines around your lip line develop the fastest and are the most difficult to treat. Tackle them with make-up – coat your lips with a lip balm, going slightly outside your lip line, before applying color. This way, your lipstick won’t travel.
4. Longer-lasting lipstick: You’d like your color to last through lunch and yet you don’t like the dry feel of long wear lipsticks. Apply a coat of regular lipstick, then press with a tissue and powder lightly (over the tissue) with a puff or brush. This sets the color and prevents running and feathering. This will turn your lipstick matte, so post-lunch, use a gloss.
