How To Have Longer Lasting Lipstick

Make-up artist Lisa Glassock shows you how to keep your lips looking great all day, so you won't have to keep re-applying your lipstick.

Step 1: You will need

  • Tooth brush
  • Loose powder
  • Long lasting lipstick
  • Lip liner
  • Tissue
  • Cotton wool pads
  • Lipstick brush

Scrub away the top surface of your lips with a damp toothbrush to get rid of dry skin cells.

Use a non-petroleum lip moisturiser on the lips to moisturise the fresh skin.

Blot with a tissue to remove any excess cream

With a brush wipe a light concealer over the lips

Use a sharpened, neutral lipliner around the edge of the lips

Apply lipstick to the back of you hand then apply to your lips with a brush

Blend a thick layer of lipstick into the lips and pencil line

Open mouth slightly to apply lipstick into inner corners

Place a thin layer of tissue over the lips and apply loose or pressed powder through the tissue to set the lipstick in place.

Apply a final layer of lipstick to give a long lasting glossy finish.
