For lipstick to stay on longer apply a layer or 2. Blot and then reapply a second time..repeat if needed once more. This works for me. Creamy drugstore lipsticks tend to fade. So make them dry by using powder(loose or pressed) on ur lips first..

I wish I knew how to wear makeup other than mascara and some powder. I literally jammed my mascara brush into my eye so bad last week I had to wear a patch for the day.

@Fransisco Set it with powder! Pencil liner will easily smudge if you don't set it, so after you put it on, set it with black shadow ( or whatever color matches). Same with a tinted moisturizer/foundation, you should use a setting powder OR even a setting spray to help it last (:
