1
Apply foundation to your lips and allow it to dry for a minute. The foundation fills in the tiny creases around your lips where the lipstick will likely seep.
-
2
Follow up with a light application of translucent face powder.
-
3
Line your lips with a lip liner. This not only outlines the shape of your lips but creates a border to keep the color right on your lips, where it should be.
-
4
Fill in the outline with the lipstick color, either using a makeup brush or directly applying the lipstick.
-
5
Allow the color to set for a few moments and then lightly powder your lips to seal in the color.
-
6
Touch up your lips with lip liner and lipstick throughout the day. If the lipstick bleeds, remove it with a moistened cotton swab and reapply the foundation, powder, liner and lipstick.

NYC cosmetics has a product called Anti-feathering lip treatment and it is available at the drugstore for 2 dollars or less. Think of it as a pre-lip treatment! It works well on its own or before application of lip gloss or lipstick!
