15 Lipstick Tricks & Tips

Tip # 1: Lipstick Store in refrigerator. It will last weeks.

Tip # 2: Do not use a tester on your lips. It's just lack of normal hygiene. Instead, test lipstick on your hand. It is a setting closer to their lips with the back of his hand.

Tip # 3: Use liner on your lips as a basis. Make your lipstick last longer filling in lips with liner first. If you're using light lipstick, use a nude liner underneath.

Tip # 4: Keep lipstick off your teeth with this trick. This is a trick I learned years ago from my mom. After applying lipstick, take your finger and pop in your mouth, then pull it out. The lipstick will come off over your finger instead of teeth.

Tip # 5: Do not skip the lining.

Tip # 6: Lipstick can act as a flush. But never use blush as a lipstick.

Tip # 7: Apply first line. Lipstick tends to apply eyeliner pen if second. In addition, you will not be able to see the natural line of your lips if you apply lipstick first.

Tip # 8: The older you are, the "creamier" your lips should look. Women over 50 should avoid matte or gloss and a stick with a creamy lipstick.

Tip # 9: Do not throw a bad color lipstick. Instead, use other colors to enhance their own shadow. You can also color in lips with a darker liner before applying lipstick is too bright.

Tip # 10: For the lips "plump", apply liner just outside your natural lipline. 'Nuff said.

Tip # 11: Keep lip gloss on longer with liner. Lip gloss is infamous for wearing off fast, but if you fill in lips first with the liner, the gloss has something to play.

Tip # 12: Heal - do not pull - a broken lipstick. If your lipstick breaks, simply remove the broken portion with a tissue, then slowly wave a lit match to the broken piece of lipstick. When melted a bit, put it back on the base, turn down and put it in the fridge - uncovered - for 5 minutes.

Tip # 13: Avoid orange or shades of brown. They tend to make teeth look yellow.

Tip # 14: Save the Last Things. Until the last piece of favorite lipstick? There's more to the bottom of your tube. Scrape the last bits with a cotton swap or orange stick and mix it with Vaseline or lip gloss in a lipstick palette.

Tip # 15: Keep the lipstick off glass. Discreetly lick the rim of the glass before touching your lips. It works!
