If your favourite lipstick doesn’t have a long wearing formula, don’t be disheartened because we’ve figured out exactly how to make that lipstick last longer. There are a bunch of tips and tricks that will guarantee your go-to bullet lipstick works just as good as a waterproof one in terms of staying power. And we’ve listed them all below.
How To Make Your Lipstick Last Longer
Whether it is a basic bullet lipstick or a creamy lipstick that wipes off easy, these tips will make sure your lipstick lasts longer than ever without a need for touch ups.
Lip Balm Blot
The first step to follow when applying any kind of lip makeup is prepping the lips with a lip balm. Well moisturised lips create a smooth and solid foundation for long wearing lipstick application. This step will also ensure your lips don’t flake and chap underneath lipstick. An important thing to do is apply the lip balm and leave it on for a few minutes. Then dab off the excess balm at the back of your hands before applying lipstick. This will remove any residue from your lips so that the lipstick sticks better.
