Genius Lipstick Hacks Every Woman Needs to Know
1. Exfoliate dry lips for smoother lipstick application
with a clean disposable mascara stick.
Simply apply the balm to your mouth first so that your lips glide a little and it's easier to remove flaky skin.

2. Keep lipstick away from your teeth by putting a clean
index finger in your mouth,
cupping it with your lips, and pulling it out. Any lipstick
that gets on your teeth will stay on your finger.

4. Reuse broken eyeshadow as lipstick.
If your favorite eyeshadow is falling apart and this is the
color you would also use on your lips, save the shards in a small container and
mix what's left with a little balm on a spoon, then apply.

7. Turn any lipstick into a long-wear version with
translucent powder.
First, apply lipstick, cover your mouth with a tissue, and
then dust it with translucent powder. A small amount of powder is thus
transferred to the fabric, fixing its color.

8. If your lips have a lot of pink or red undertones,
apply concealer to them before applying lipstick to expose
them. This will help make sure your lip color looks exactly like it does on the
package; Otherwise, pink or red tones will change the color's appearance when
applied.

9. You can also reshape the lips by first applying concealer
to them and then tracing the lip liner a little beyond the natural lip line to
make them appear larger. Continue to line your lips with a lip liner to give
them a matte look, or apply gloss. Watch Jesse James Decker demonstrate this
trick here (at the 4:37 mark).

10. Dry your lips the right way: between applications to
make your lip color last longer.
This removes excess sebum from the lips after the first
application, so the second application lasts better and does not come off the
lips as quickly.

11. Accentuate your nude shade by always choosing one
that is one shade darker than your skin tone,
no matter what it is.
If you have fair skin, try a nude shade with a touch of pink, like Colorlicious
Lipstick CoverGirl in "Honeyed Bloom"; if you're average, opt for a
nude with an orange undertone, like CoverGirl's Colorlicious Lipstick in
"Caramel Kiss"; and for darker skin, choose chocolate brown, shimmery
rose brown, or caramel brown, which can neutralize redness (if you have a lot
of it on your lips) while making it more nude, like CoverGirl's Colorlicious
Lipstick in Siena sensuous."

12. Find the greatest red for your skin type by following
this tip: if you're blonde,
choose a red with a blue base, such as CoverGirl
Colorlicious Lipstick in "Hot"; if yours is olive, opt for an
orange-red like CoverGirl's Colorlicious Lipstick in "Garnet Flame";
and if you have darker skin, go for a burgundy red, like CoverGirl's
Colorlicious Lipstick in Tempt Berry.
