Save the Lip Drama, Create Long Lasting Color




Ever wish your lip gloss would last longer? Between running out the door and juggling with time throughout our busy days, sometimes lip glosses simply just don't have the staying power we'd like them to have. When reapplying is out of the question, a helpful hint to try is layering a sheer to full coverage lipstick that is similiar in hue or matches your lip gloss. Applying the lipstick first, and finishing with a layer of lipgloss will not help your color last longer, but also give you lips dimension giving the illusion of a fuller lip. Don't want too much attention drawn to your lips? Just dab a tiny bit of gloss in the center of your lip for a more subtle look.

My favorite lip color pair is Sephora's Color Attitude - Chic Lipstick in Rich Rose 19 ( $12 exclusively at Sephora), and Revlon's Super Lustrous LipGloss in 110 Life's A peach ($6 at Target, available at mass retailers prices vary)

The lip gloss is really the star of the show, the color is a perfect blend of pink, peach, and gold. The Lipstick creates a base for the lipgloss and helps the color last throughout the day increasing the glosses staying power.
