Keeping your lipstick on your lips is a challenge for a lot of us. There are tons of great long-wear lipsticks out there on the market, but here’s a trick to make your lipstick long-lasting even if it’s a traditional formula.
All you need is lipstick, a similar or matching liner, translucent powder, a brush, and a tissue.
Step One: Define your lip shape with liner. I like to start by making an x at the Cupid’s bow, a little u shape on the bottom lip, and arrows at the corner, and then connecting the lines. Don’t worry if it looks silly, you’re going to be filling it in anyway! 
Step Two: Fill in your entire upper and bottom lip with liner. This is an important step. Lip liner is drier than lipstick and will adhere to your lips, which will help the color stay, even if your creamy lipstick formula wears off.Step Three: Apply lipstick. I like to use a brush for precision, but you can also just apply straight from the tube. If I’m doing a super intense color, sometimes I will do two coats, blotting in between.
Step Four: Take your tissue and pull it apart so you only have 1 ply. Lay it over your lips and powder on top of the tissue. This will let a small amount of powder set your lipstick without it looking dry or dulling the color! 
Make sure you take your lipstick with you to touch up just in case! This trick will definitely help it wear longer. Try it out and see what works best for you! xo.

Thank you on a detailed impressive guide! Saved your post for the future ?
I like the tip that you gave to keep your lipstick with you where ever you go, so that you can touch up if you need to. My wife has been saying that she wants to start wearing lipstick more often, and it would be important for her to know everything that is important before she starts wearing it. I will be sure to mention the idea of bringing her lipstick with her, so she can keep her lips looking fresh.
Should try the way have shown.Because wearing the lipsticks is a art.
Thanks for sharing the information, I am indeed looking for this information. Looks like I found good information on this article. Nice website 🙂
Thanks for the guidance as I was looking for it, I have to spend more than half day in the office for which I wanted a way through which I can make lipstick last longer on my lips.
Thank you so much for the guidance!
Please share the contouring tips as well…
I have never heard of that powder trick before!! Will definitely try it – thanks for the tip 🙂

I’ve tried this and it works great!!!
Great tip! My biggest challenge occurs when I wear mat lipsticks (which I love). Though I use powder, I’ve tried applying moisturizer before application, I still haven’t quite gotten it right yet. Any tips?
will definitely try that. 🙂
thanks for that!

I love this lip shade! But I’m also interested in learning how Elsie normally does her lips where they almost look two toned. Would love a tutorial on that!
I can be soooo super lazy about lipstick especially when it’s a shade that needs to be topped up quite regularly, so I’ll definitely be trying this out. Thanks for sharing! ♡
Great tips. I’ll have to try them out and let you know how I get on 🙂
What a wonderful tip! I will be giving this a try very soon with a bright bold lip I’ve been wanting to wear!
This is great, but why no mention of what color Elsie is wearing in the photos,it is fantastic.
I love the lipstick color, it suits your skin totally.

Great tip! I love the way you begin with the X. I’ve never see starting your lip looks like that. I definitely need to invest in more lip liners for sure!
wow, thank you I will just try that tomorrow <3
I have that problem too, so I love your extra tips for moisturizing, Pricila.

These are some great tips. I always have a hard time getting my lipstick to stay on long plus I always forget to make a point to touch up later in the day. Also, I can only imagine the giggles taking place during this shoot! How can you not laugh with such silly looking photos (in a good way! Putting make-up is always a silly process from an outside point of view).
