Farfetched Makeup Solutions: Lipstick

You just don't want your lipstick to be harsh-looking, especially as you get older.

Tip: Pat a little foundation on your lips *before* you apply lipstick. It makes the color much truer. Then use a makeup sponge to pat a small amount *over* the lipstick. It really softens the look. Then do the last half of step 2 below.

Other ideas:

1. Put lip balm under the lipstick for a softer shade, and a little shine.


2. Be sure to blot after you apply (then pat a bit of lipstick right on the inner center of your lower lip and rub your lips together. The darker spot will draw people;s eyes to the center of your face. And it just looks good. :)


3. The older you get, the more you should avoid lip glosses and frosts.
