Tip of the week- Keeping lipstick from running and smudging

Now, if you've ever worn lipstick you might be able to relate to this tip of the week. Weather you are young or old you probobly have had one of those days where your lipstick went off the grid...and i can totally relate. When i was younger, i went through a red lipstick phase, it didn't matter what shade it was as long and it was red, and day after day i would put my lipstick on just to have it smudge or get into the little lines around my lips , which we all know is completely unattractive and slightly embarrising. Well, its my duty as a makeup artist to spread the knowledge that can save us from lookin like a big hot mess.

Here are some tips to keep lipstick from running and smudging-

• Lip Liner, we've all heard of this tip but it actually works! Lip liners are a diffrent consistancy than lipstick so they aren't going to move very far , if it moves at all.
• Lip primer, you want to do this before lip liner, i should have put this first but i wanted to put more obvious things first. The lip primer is really gonna smooth out the surface of your lips and help the lipstick stay. Bare Escentuals has a "Lip Rev-er Upper" that im in love with, it can actually act as an invisible lip liner, but i use lip liner anyways as a precaution.
• Take your concealer and use it around the lips , do this after the lipstick and put it on the edge where the lipstick ends. This kind of acts as a wall so the lipstick has a barrier and won't go past it.
