Here are four simple steps to prep those pillowy lips, in order to make your lipstick wear last longer through the day.Step 1: Gently exfoliate your lips. Use your everday face cleanser, and preferably one with exfoliating microbeads. Washing off dry, dead skin is an important step. Lipstick will stain and naturally look better on fresh skin.
Step 2: Pat dry your lips and immediately moisturize them. Moisturized lips retain the lip stain longer, than dry lips. Use your everyday lip moisturizing product or even lotion. Personally, lotion works best because it keeps lips hydrated longer, and the thicker texture works as a fill-in for fine lines on the lips, allowing me to glide on my lipstick smoother.
Step 3: Kiss the back of your hand to remove any excess moisturizer.
Step 4: Now you're ready to smooth on your favorite lipstick shade. Make sure to apply it straight from the tube.
