Lipstick is popular this spring and I'm partial to hot pinks as seen here on Gwen Stefani.
One problem with lipsticks is the lack of staying power. To keep yours from melting away within the hour, follow these tips:
- You must start with a smooth surface. Dry, scaly lips do not a nice mouth make. Apply a liberal glob of petroleum jelly to lips and exfoliate with a toothbrush.
- Fill in lips with a matching liner and your color will last much longer.
- Try a lip stain instead of a creamy lipstick. A good stain will really live up to its names and stay on for many hours. Because stains can be drying, top with a gloss and keep it on hand for touch ups. Unlike stains, gloss wears off fast.
