Reds, pinks, oranges, nudes in matte, semi-shine, glossy as a roll on stick, crayon, cream and much more, I’m sure you lipstick addicts have got it all. A look, be it for a girl’s night out or a date-night or simply a brunch with family is simply incomplete without lipstick. But when you head out, you tend to drink a cocktail or mocktail, tend to hog on to your favourite food and the most inevitable, tend to talk! This results in your lipstick fading off slowly and by the end of 2-3 hours, it’s completely gone.

Here are some tips which can help you keep those lips painted for much longer:
Never skip a lip-liner
Ladies, you can’t afford to skip a lip-liner at any cost. This is the holding power of your lipstick. Be it vibrant colours or just nudes, make it a habit to purchase a lip-liner matching to your lipstick as and when you buy it.
Blot a lot
If you think one or two strokes of lipstick and you’re done, you’re wrong. You have to make your lips absorb the colour and that can only be done with the help of tissue paper. Just fold the paper and after two coats of your lipstick, just blot it by pressing the paper in between both your lips. Do the same at least twice and you’re lipstick won’t leave your side.
Powder
If loose/pressed powder can help your make-up stay, don’ you think the same technique would work for your lips? Of course it will! All you need is a puff of translucent powder after you have applied your lipstick. Make sure to blend it in properly. This not only prevents lip staining on glasses but also mattifies the lipstick which is the high trend alert.
