Ladies, hold on tight as we are about to reveal a secret you’ve been waiting for since you started applying makeup: how to make your lipstick last longer. We know, your new lipsticks are all long-lasting in nature, but what about your old ones? Of course you don’t have to throw them all away, so here are some tips and tricks that will bring them back into the game!

First off, prepping your pout is a very important step and can be achieved by using a lip scrub and a lip balm to remove any dry skin. Then, use your concealer or foundation as a base as this will allow the true color of the lipstick you choose to shine through – quite an amazing trick for those times when you feel like wearing bold lip colors, right?

After prepping the lips and the base, let’s move to the application. The lip liner is a key product in this process, because in addition to outlining the lips, this beauty marvel should be used to fill them in. Now the lipstick! For a more precise application, the lip brush comes to the rescue.

When it comes to creating a smudge-free lipstick look, you should make sure to set your lipstick with a translucent powder, after taking a thin piece of tissue and placing it directly over your lips in order to remove any excess.

Et voilà!
