How to Prevent and Remedy Bleeding Lipstick?

If you slip into the bathroom after lunch to find your lipstick feathered or bleeding, don't fret! A few quick tips can prevent and remedy this beauty dilemma.

• Prime your lips with a very small amount of foundation. Select a matte lipstick, as the creamier formulas are more likely to run. After lining your lips, apply the lipstick evenly, but avoid the outermost edges of the lips.

• Consider lip liner and lip balm as an alternative to lipstick. Outline the shape of the lips with a lip liner, and then shade the inside to fill in with color. Apply lip balm or a small amount of gloss to the center of the lips, and press lips to distribute.

Tips:

• Avoid applying runny glosses over lipstick.

• Apply lip balm before bed to moisturize your lips. Matte lipsticks, lip liner and foundation can dry out the lips.

• Reset makeup by applying a very small amount of foundation to the skin surrounding the lips. Follow with pressed powder.
• Reapply lip color.
