Most women want beautiful luscious lips without lipstick bleed but it happens more than often when using lipgloss over your favorite lipstick. To achieve this look without your lipstick running by mid day I have great steps to avoid this mishap. First I want to tell you why it happens. Most people skip the step of applying a great lip balm before applying their lipstick. A great lip balm helps to moisturize your lips and is very helpful in longer lip wear. Women are taught to use a lip liner before applying lipstick but I want you to try a better way of avoiding the mishap of lipstick bleed and the unattractive look of a harsh lip liner. If you want natural beautiful lips use my steps of applying lipstick.

STEPS: 1. Apply a great lip balm 2. Apply a thin layer of concealer over the outline of your top and bottom lip. 3. Use your ring finger to gently blend the concealer. 4. Apply the lipstick of your choice. 5. Apply lipgloss.

Concealer is excellent for locking in your lip wear and it avoids the mishap of lipstick bleed.  Also, avoid runny lipglosses by testing the consistency before purchase.

Until next time,

Live Well . Live Fabulous!
