Maintaining Lip makeup

Types of Lipstick
Lip color comes in many forms. Among them are:
Lip Liner - Available in pencils and automatic applicators, used to define lips. It also helps in improving lipstick's staying power and preventing "bleeding", particularly with older women.

Lipstick - The main component in lip color, used to shade the majority of the lip surface. May be frosted, glossy, or matte; available in thousands of shades.

Lip Gloss - A shiny lip covering, either colored, frosted, or clear. Gloss may be applied alone or to add shine to traditional lip color.
[edit]How to Apply Lipstick




The right lipstick completes a great look.Apply your lip liner first. Liner should be the same color or a shade slightly lighter than your main lip color -- never darker. Outline your natural lip line. Next, fill in your lips with your lip color. Using a lip brush will help your lipstick stay longer. Add gloss, if desired, and blot your lips with a tissue to remove excess color. Utilize your mirror, everytime, to avoid a rushed, clown-like look.

Tips for Lovely Lips
Looking your best requires a little finesse. For luscious, kissable lips, try the following:

Don't Skip the Liner - Lip liner gives a defined, elegant look as well as preventing lip color "bleeding."
Avoid Orange and Brown Lip Color Shades - They tend to make teeth look yellow.
Store Lip Color in the Refrigerator - I know it sounds weird, but your color will last longer.
Color Outside the Lines - For plumper lips, apply lip color slightly outside of your normal lip line.

Apply Foundation to your Lips - A thin layer of foundation on your lips will increase your lip color's staying power.
Chapstick - Apply a light layer of chapstick under your lip color to increase its staying power. Plus, your lips will be moisturized and protected from the sun.
Another Tip for Lasting Lip Color - Blot your lips after applying, lightly dust with pressed powder and reapply
