The weather's gettin' springy and we're ready to get out and play. If bright lipstick happens to be part of your makeup plans for the weekend, I have a little tip to share with you.
You might have seen Beth's post admiring the sexy faux bob Jennifer Morrison wore this week, but now let's focus in on her lips for a sec. They're pretty bright, as you can see. "We went for rockstar glam, with a bold red mouth (YSL Rouge Pur Couture in #1 Le Rouge) that pops against her fair, alabaster skin and looks dramatic," says makeup artist Nick Barose. His favorite trick for keeping brights like this from bleeding: trace a clear wax lip pencil (like Dior Universal Contour Lip Liner) along the edges. Yes, there are other ways to keep lipstick in place, but I love this tip for its total straightforwardness. Gotta get me some of that stuff stat.
Got any tricks for making bold lipstick stay put, or do you just apply it straight up?
