When it comes to layering on lipstick, Bobbi Brown advises, “Apply an even layer of color over the entire lip, starting at one corner of the mouth, and keeping within the natural lines of the lips.”
Lipstick has a long, colorful history that continues to evolve as color trends change over time. While following the latest celebrity trends and runway styles are great ways to stay on top of the latest lip looks, always embrace the shades that best represent your personality

To make sure texture is consistent, blot lips with a folded tissue, and then apply again. To help make the color of a crème or matte lipstick last longer, try lightly applying loose powder. And finally, to ensure an exact application, some women trim their lipstick with a razor to give it a well-defined tip.

Lipstick finally made its lasting burst of popularity in the 1890s, thanks to the newly formed film industry – actresses needed to apply dark colors on their lips to make them stand out in black and white films. Previously sold in small pots, lipstick made its “tube” debut in 1915 and has been a staple in makeup bags ever since.
