Fix Bleeding Lipstick

Make sure he notices the fireworks of your good-night kiss, not your messy lipstick. Bleeding means that you've applied your lipstick improperly. Here's how to get it right.

Steps:

  • Apply foundation to your lips and allow it to dry for a minute. The foundation fills in the tiny creases around your lips where the lipstick will likely seep.
  • Follow up with a light application of translucent face powder.
  • Line your lips with a lip liner. This not only outlines the shape of your lips but creates a border to keep the color right on your lips, where it should be.
  • Fill in the outline with the lipstick color, either using a makeup brush or directly applying the lipstick.
  • Allow the color to set for a few moments and then lightly powder your lips to seal in the color.
  • Touch up your lips with lip liner and lipstick throughout the day. If the lipstick bleeds, remove it with a moistened cotton swab and reapply the foundation, powder, liner and lipstick.

Overall Tips:

Matte (nonglossy) lipsticks are less likely to run than glossy or shiny ones.
