How Do You Keep Lipstick From Bleeding Into Lip Lines?
Nothing can botch your glamorous look more than your lovely lipstick leaking into those unsightly tiny lines that form around your lips as you mature. With a little extra prep before applying your lipstick, you can prevent “old lady lip syndrome”. First, outline the entire lip area with a neutral shade lip pencilor a shade that blends in with your lipstick. This will define your lips for the rest of the process. Next, apply lip balm to your lips. I love the balms with beeswax and/or honey. They stay put and feel good! Work the balm all the way to the edge of your outline. Last, apply your lipstick. You can use a brush to ensure that lip color stays in place longer. But even if you just put your lipstick directly from the tube, you will find that it stays out of those dreaded lip lines when you follow this process.
