It’s so much easier to match the lip color than to use a dark color that has to be blended.
Some lip color products are long-lasting, but often those formulas are far too dry. Here are some techniques that provide extended wear to regular lipstick formulas.
Use a lip pencil that matches the natural color of the lips to line and completely fill in the lips. This base helps hold lip color in place. Layer lipstick on top.
Use pencil on top of lipstick to create a waxy barrier.
Blotting lipstick with your finger presses color into the lips and will create a stain that will last.
A bit of powder or blush patted on top of lipstick will keep it on longer.
