To prevent lip colour bleeding out of your lips and the surrounding skin apply a lip pencil before your lip colour. While using light lipstick, use nude liner. Then apply lipstick on top of it. You can also try layering a clear gloss over a lip stain.

Applying lipstick with a lip brush as it brings out the colour of the lipstick. You can apply a thinner layer that stays longer and appears neat.

Dip your finger in water, then into pink or red Jell-O powder; rub over lips and top with balm for creating an amazing stay put shade.

For a long-lasting color apply color and topcoat separately. Although most of them work well they may sometimes feel dry and heavy.

Another methods for a sheer, natural finish that stays longer is put on liner, then lipstick, dab translucent face powder over the mouth, reapply liner and lipstick. The face powder on top of creams sets them for longer period

Apply your foundation over your lips when applying make up. This will give you a great base for your lipstick helping it to last much longer.

You can also apply one coat of lipstick then blot with a tissue before applying another coat.

After applying lipstick, put your index finger into your mouth and pull it out to keep lipstick off your teeth. This will help in removing extra lipstick.

To prevent lipstick from sticking to the glass you are drinking from, lick the edge of the glass before touching your lips to it. Though sounds wacky it is very useful.

A blend a bright lipstick with clear gloss or Vaseline for a more sober effect also helps.

Store lipstick in the fridge as the temperature will help the lipstick to last longer.
