How to Get Lipstick to Stay on All Day Long

Use layering techniques to make your lipstick last.

You spend a good part of your morning applying your makeup. The last thing you want to do after that is reapply your lipstick every few hours. Aside from trying out the various brands of lipstick that claim to have lasting power, you have options for extending the length of time your lipstick stays on. Add a few steps to your makeup routine, and you can have lipstick that lasts all day and be free from checking your makeup in the middle of a busy schedule.

Things You'll Need

• Lipstick
• Tissue
• Lipliner
• Powder
• Water
• Fruit
• Vegetables

Instructions

1. Use the layering technique. Apply your lipstick as you normally would, then lightly blot with tissue without rubbing the lipstick off or removing the color entirely. Then apply another full coat of lipstick.

2. Apply lip liner the same shade as your lipstick over your entire lips, then apply a coat of lipstick over the layer of lip liner. Lip liner often lasts longer than lipstick, so you will have color for a longer period of time.

3. Apply a mild, non-allergenic powder to your lips using a thin makeup brush, then apply a coat of lipstick over the powder. You can repeat the process once more for longer lasting color.

4. Keep your lips hydrated to extend the color of your lipstick. Drink plenty of water and eat fruits and vegetables with a high-water content, such as watermelon, strawberries and lettuce.
