Aayat: 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..
Sapna: 4 :6 applies to me lol good article
peony: Really!!!
olivia_jones_99: @bettina to make your lipstick look good even after it comes off try applying a lip stain first and let it dry then add lipstick on top of it (make sure they are similar colors) so when the lipstick wears off the stain is still on
BrittanyBAKER: All so true! I envy the girls who look so flawless after applying their makeup!
Jazz: I wear contacts for events and forget to put them in sometimes... Biggest mistake when you have to put them in after :(
st_cruz: @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 (:
Bettina: I have lipstick problem. Any tips
Fransisco: I have a problem in keeping my tinted moisturizer and pencil eyeliner from melting. How do most girls have that perfectly done and even after an hour, nothing's smudged?
Jaynie: i look like a panda with eyeliner :(
