How To Make Lipstick Last


Ladies, does your lipstick wear off only after a couple of hours? Follow these simple tricks to make it stay all day. 


•  Be strong. Go for a bright or dark shade; they tend to last longer than soft ones because they have more pigment.
•  Prep your lips. Lipstick holds up best on a smooth surface, so gently buff your lips with Merle Norman's Lip Exfoliator.Say bye to dry, flaky lips with this easy-to-apply micro-dermabrasion treatment. It immediately removes dead, rough skin with a few quick swipes. Pat on our Lip Conditioner. Used daily, this lip conditioner helps protect against environmental factors with SPF 15 and antioxidant-rich Pomegranate Extract keeps lips feeling great. Plus, it’s packed with humectants and emollients to smooth, soothe and seal in moisture.  Give it a few minutes to sink in before applying any color.
•  Pencil it in. Lip pencil adds a layer of pigment and helps your color last. Choose one that matches your lipstick—unless it's very dark, in which case go one shade lighter. Lightly trace the pencil along the inside edge of your lips, then fill in your mouth and blot. The trick to lipliner is short thing strokes. This gives a more natural look so that your lips still look full and plump without looking too drawn on.
•  Swipe it on. Don't use a brush—you'll get richer color if you apply your lipstick straight from the tube. Blot the first coat with a tissue, then add another layer.
•  Finish with powder. Women think powdering their lips will dry them out, but you don't need much. Close your mouth, smile, and then dust a little face powder on your lips with a fluffy brush. Don't reapply lipstick, or it could get cakey.
