Lipstick that lasts; how to apply

In order to have lipstick that truly lasts, you will need to apply it the right way. You do not even need any fancy lipstick. There are just a few simple tricks to get your lipstick to last. You will need a soft brush or sponge to exfoliate the lips, lip cream or other gentle moisturizer, lip liner, lipstick, lip gloss (optional), and some tissues. (Related article: Makeup trends)

1. Start with exfoliating your lips. Be gentle. You can use a natural loofah, sea sponge or a light brush. This will eliminate all dead cells and the skin will look smoother.
2. Brush your teeth.
3. Apply a cream over the lips so they do not absorb the lipstick. Wait a few minutes.
4. Apply the lip liner. This has to be very similar to the lip color you are using or close to the color of your lips. Apply all over the lip. There should be only one continuous line all over your lips without any uncovered areas.
5. Apply the lipstick any way you like with a brush or directly from the container.
6. Move your lips hugging each other to distribute the lipstick.
7. Put the tissue between the lips and press your lip to eliminate excess.
8. Reapply the lipstick.
9. Put a tissue paper over your lips (closed mouth) and with your finger press it on the lips. This will set the lipstick and make it last longer.
10. Apply lip-gloss, if you like, on the center of your lips.
11. Smile and show your diva attitude. You are ready to flirt.
