Foundation, a lip brush, and a tissue can boost lipstick’s staying power. They cover lips with a light coat sheer foundation, which serves as a primer for color.

Define your lips with liner, and then use the liner to fill in your entire mouth. Apply lipstick with a lip brush, it helps press in and “set” the color and then blot with a tissue.

Creating A Layer
For a sheer, natural finish dip your finger in water, then into pink or red Jell-O powder; rub over lips and top with balm to create an amazing stay-put shade. You can also try layering a clear gloss over a lip stain. Look for one that is not watery. They will bleed less.

All Day Wear
For a long-lasting color apply color and topcoat separately. Most of them work but sometimes they it feel dry and heavy.

Powder Power
To prevent constant touch-ups, put on liner, then lipstick; dab translucent face powder over the mouth; reapply liner and lipstick. Dusting power on top of creams sets them. This trick sure works and it last long.
