To avoid that icky stuff on your lips, or from your lip gloss rubbing off, here is the perfect lip shade application:
Apply a thick layer of vaseline... leave on for a couple of minutes,
Wipe away all the vaseline, this will have got rid of any dead skin and will leave your lips smooth.
Apply a lip liner that matches your lip colour (or the lip shade you wish to apply after, never anything different) and line the lips, then fill in the whole of you lips with the liner. Blot a little.
Apply lipstick shade. Blot a little.
Apply a little gloss by dabbing it on, not painting it on.
Put a finger inside your mouth and withdraw it slowly. Doing so will help you prevent your lipstick from sticking to your teeth and will also remove any excess product.
Et voila, perfect smackers with staying power
