After swiping on the first coat of your red lipstick, use a Kleenex tissue to gently blot the color. Then, apply a second coat of your lipstick, but NOT in your usual swiping method.
This step is another trick that many ladies skip. Using a translucent powder, gently swipe a very thin dusting over the red lip. It'll make sure your lipstick, already applied, will stay for good. For good measure, dab a final coat of your red lipstick over the powdered lips for a final pop of color and even more reassurance that this red lip is going to stay put all day and night.
We swear by the Laura Mercier Translucent Setting Powder , which we swipe over our T-zone after applying foundation as well. I've used this method with my favorite matte red NARS shade Jungle Red is simply perfect , and I've used this method with my go-to creamy Revlon shade.
It works across the board, between all shades and finishes. As far as picking your new holiday red lipstick : As a rule of thumb, red hues with blue undertones work well with fairer skin tones, and red hues with orange undertones work well with warmer skin tones. No matter the color choice, we guarantee your lipstick routine will be forever changed after using these foolproof tips—so get ready for your best red lip yet!

Next is to take out a long wear lipstick or any lipstick of your choice and use the same lip brush you used with the lip liner to apply the first layer. Swipe on a small amount of the lipstick at a time.
This is a MUST to remove excess oil from the first layer of your lipstick and to keep lipstick on longer! Notice how some tissue paper come in 2- or 3-ply? Separate the layers and get a thin single piece of the tissue layer. Use this single ply to blot your lips. You can also do the powder trick! Stick a thin or a one-ply tissue to your lips. With a big fluffy makeup brush , take any loose powder and dab your makeup brush in it.
Now pat on the powder over the tissue on your lips. This will help take out the excess oil from your lips, giving you a clean finish and long-wearing lipstick. To do this, use a concealer and work on the areas with rough edges or where you may have gone over the line.
