Long Lasting Lips

I was out about town with some fabulous friends of mine last night. And apart from the fact that we had a Jake Gyllenhaal and Gywneth Paltrow sighting, my girls and I had such a blast-as always...

At dinner, one of my friends asked me "How do I make my lipstick last all day long?"...

Step 1: Well, it starts with a lip liner. As for me, I always shade my lips with liner before applying any lipstick. I don't just outline my lips but fill it in completely with liner. This morning, like most mornings this week, I have been in a red lippy mood. So I started by covering my entire lips with a reddish liner.

Lip Liner: MAC Lip Pencil in Beet

Step 2: Then I applied MAC Heartless Lipstick from the Venomous Villians Collection

Step 3: Followed by MAC Red Lipstick.

Step 4: To complete my look, I glossed my lips with Lancome Color Fever Gloss in Rouge Magnificence

I have found that the key to long lasting lips is simply shading one's lips with liner before applying lipstick. My color stays rich and true all day long.....

Now my red lippy is complete and I am ready to conquer the world :)
