Guys dream of kissing your smooth lips, not your feathered lips; so here's a few tips to keep your lipstick from flaking, creping, or feathering.
- Clear lip balm: Not only is ChapStick good at keeping your lips hydrated, but a clear coating of it around the outer edge of your lips will create a sort of forcefield to keep your lipstick from traveling.
- Color in between the lines: A light layer of foundation, followed by a neutral or colorless lip liner creates a solid base for keeping lipstick in check.
- But if you prefer to go liner free...: First apply powder, then lipstick, then blot. Then repeat (but leave out the blotting on the second time).
- Exfoliate: Exfoliating helps to eliminate feathery, dead, peeling skin from the lips.
- Prime time: Lip primers have silicone in them, which help to create a smooth, even surface.
- Check your products: If you still have lots of caking going on, check your products. They may be to old, or of bad quality. Toss them when necessary.
- Get glossy: When all else fails, go for a richly hued gloss or highly emollient lipstick. Both glide on easily, and tend to resist caking.
