Beautiful Looking Lip Tips

For longer wear, blot lips after applying lipstick to set color and remove excess. Add a thin layer of loose or pressed powder, then apply color again.

Turn down too much shine by holding a single-ply tissue to your lips and pressing a little loose powder through it - just enough will sift through the tissue to adhere to color and reduce the shine.

Turn up the shine with a thin layer of clear lip gloss over lipstick or alone.

For fuller, poutier lips, spotlight lip gloss right in the center of your lower lip.

Keep matte lip color from drying your lips - use a lip primer or lip color fixative before you apply the matte color.

For evening special-effects, apply a sheer lip gloss in silver, gold or an iridescent shade over the lip color.
