Advice on Lip Care...
Longer Lasting Lipstick
Lipstick and Powder
To help lip stick stay longer, powder lips between lipstick coats.
One LipStick, Many Colors
Lipstick Variation
To make one lipstick color appear to be a variation of colors, apply different amounts of toner, till desired color is achieved.
Softer Lips
Keeping Lips Soft in Winter
Always use moisturizer lotion on lips during winter months to insure soft lips.
The Perfect Lip Line
Lip Lining
To get a perfect lip line, get a glass of cold water, and put your pencil in it for about five minutes (with the cap on), then apply as usual. Your pencil will be firmer and hence produce better results.
Moisturize Your lips
Lip Moisturizer
To stop lips from chapping due to dry lip sticks, use a very slight base of vaseline before applying the lipstick.
Avoid Chapped Lips
Preventing Chapped Lips
Keep lips soft by not licking them, drinking plenty of water to prevent dehydration, and applying a coating of lip balm before bed to help to moisturize lips while you sleep. When participating in outdoor activity, use a lip balm that contains a SPF of at least 15 to prevent sunburn. Add base coat of lip balm prior to applying lipstick during the dry winter months. If lips become chapped, avoid wearing lipsticks while lips are recovering as drying products in color pigments may irritate chapped lips.
The Right Amount Of LipStick
Lipstick
To check if you have on the right amount of lipstick, put your fore finger in your mouth after applying your lipstick, and pull it out gradually. Any lipstick that comes off, on your finger, is excess!
Removing flakes
Getting rid of flakes
To help remove flakes from dry lips, use a soft toothbrush, and gently brush across your lips.
Keep The LipStick Going
Lasting Lipcolor
Apply lip color, blot, dust with powder, then apply another layer of lip color to make it last.
