<p>There’s nothing worse than applying your favorite lipstick, only to have it fade, smudge, or transfer after just a few hours. Long-lasting lipstick can be a game-changer, helping you maintain a flawless pout from morning until night. With the proper techniques and products, you can keep your lipstick looking fresh and vibrant for hours, whether at work, a party, or out to dinner.</p><p>In this guide, we’ll share expert tips and tricks to make your lipstick last longer, so you can achieve that perfect, smudge-proof pout all day.</p><h3>Prep Your Lips: Exfoliate and Hydrate</h3><p>The key to long-lasting lipstick starts with proper lip care. Dry, chapped lips make lipstick application uneven and more prone to cracking. Prepping your lips ensures a smooth base for the lipstick to adhere to.</p><figure id="figure-sqezrgypkrm20bhkr7"><img id="sqezrgypkrm20bhkr7" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1264505537/photo/beautiful-young-woman-using-crystal-collagen-lip-patch.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=zbTBQLqN8SpvcT2whozlUnN3KQCz7z-sayj1ZbbtVvM=" alt="Beautiful young woman using crystal collagen lip patch" title="Beautiful young woman using crystal collagen lip patch" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1264505537/photo/beautiful-young-woman-using-crystal-collagen-lip-patch.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=zbTBQLqN8SpvcT2whozlUnN3KQCz7z-sayj1ZbbtVvM=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>Steps to Prep:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Exfoliate:</strong> Use a gentle lip scrub to remove dead skin cells and create a smooth canvas. You can use a store-bought scrub or make your own using sugar and honey. Gently massage the scrub onto your lips and wipe it off with a damp cloth.</li><li><strong>Hydrate:</strong> Apply a hydrating lip balm to keep your lips moisturized. Let the balm sink in for a few minutes, then blot off any excess with a tissue. This ensures your lips are smooth but not too slippery, which can prevent the lipstick from adhering correctly.<br><a data-mce-href="https://amzn.to/4iREb2u" href="https://amzn.to/4iREb2u" target="_blank">Fresh Sugar Lip Polish</a> is a gentle exfoliator that leaves lips soft and smooth.

Lip primers also prevent feathering and fading, ensuring the color stays vibrant throughout the day.</p><figure id="figure-74tm21uqwtm20bkvs6"><img id="74tm21uqwtm20bkvs6" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1129820431/photo/applying-transparent-lip-gloss.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=g2ClCylAhWIRR-EiJjG9vptwSt5LX5So_D0_RmfT05I=" alt="Applying transparent lip gloss" title="Applying transparent lip gloss" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1129820431/photo/applying-transparent-lip-gloss.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=g2ClCylAhWIRR-EiJjG9vptwSt5LX5So_D0_RmfT05I=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>How to Apply:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Lip Primer:</strong> Apply a lip primer evenly across your lips to smooth out any lines and create a long-lasting base for the lipstick.</li><li><strong>Foundation:</strong> If you don’t have a lip primer, lightly dab a bit of your foundation or concealer over your lips.

It defines your lips, prevents feathering, and acts as a base that helps the lipstick stick. Filling in your lips with liner creates an extra layer of color that won’t budge, even if your lipstick wears off.</p><figure id="figure-944pm3g96m20bq36c"><img id="944pm3g96m20bq36c" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/500017270/photo/lip-liner-apply.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=DYRNvHMel20emF4u6vMZJP0KIA2fRo0L4I51lOuL9N0=" alt="lip liner apply" title="lip liner apply" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/500017270/photo/lip-liner-apply.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=DYRNvHMel20emF4u6vMZJP0KIA2fRo0L4I51lOuL9N0=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>How to Apply:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Line your lips:</strong> Start by outlining your lips with a lip liner that matches your lipstick shade. Be precise to prevent color bleeding.</li><li><strong>Fill them in:</strong> Once your lips are lined, fill the entire lip with the same liner.

This ensures an even, smooth application that lasts longer.</p><figure id="figure-fdh119nsucm20brvy0"><img id="fdh119nsucm20brvy0" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1662677511/photo/make-up.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=cWrG7rzHoADp6E_9Dq7IMbIRE3FT-LSTxKvGRWHDQZE=" alt="Make up" title="Make up" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1662677511/photo/make-up.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=cWrG7rzHoADp6E_9Dq7IMbIRE3FT-LSTxKvGRWHDQZE=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>How to Apply:</strong></p><ul><li>Use a lip brush to pick up some of the lipstick.</li><li>Start at the center of your lips and work outward, carefully filling in your lips for an even coat of color.</li><li>Build up the intensity of the color in thin layers.<br><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> For best results, use <a data-mce-href="https://amzn.to/3ZSg4bf" href="https://amzn.to/3ZSg4bf" target="_blank">matte or long-wear lipsticks</a>, which last longer than creamy or glossy formulas.</li></ul><h3>Blot and Layer for Longevity</h3><p>The blot-and-layer technique is one of the best tricks for making lipstick last all day.

To create a more dramatic effect, extend the wing upward and outward.<br><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> If you're struggling with symmetry, use a piece of tape or an eyeliner stencil to help guide your wing.</li></ul><h3>Draw the Outline First</h3><p>Draw the outline first instead of jumping straight into filling in the wing. This step gives you control over the shape and helps ensure even, balanced wings on both eyes.</p><figure id="figure-a4ngw8kewpm20d0ewa"><img id="a4ngw8kewpm20d0ewa" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1183601174/photo/woman-is-applying-eyeliner.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=XgFa80lQYi238R5yS069iR0qtImcoi-nj0Z7JRYpF7Y=" alt="Woman is applying eyeliner" title="Woman is applying eyeliner" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1183601174/photo/woman-is-applying-eyeliner.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=XgFa80lQYi238R5yS069iR0qtImcoi-nj0Z7JRYpF7Y=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>Steps to Outline:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Start at the outer corner:</strong> Draw a thin line from the outer corner of your eye toward the dot or line you marked earlier. This is the lower part of your wing.</li><li><strong>Create the top line:</strong> From the tip of the wing, draw a line back toward your upper lash line, connecting the outer edge of the wing to your lashes.</li><li><strong>Line your upper lash line</strong>: Draw a thin line along your upper lash line, connecting it to the wing. Keep the line as close to the lashes as possible for a clean look.<br><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> Using short, light strokes to outline the shape makes it easier to fix mistakes and create a clean line.</li></ul><h3>Fill in the Wing</h3><p>Once you're happy with the shape of your wing, it's time to fill it in. Depending on your eyeliner type, use small strokes or sweeping motions to fill the wing with color, making it opaque and smooth.</p><figure id="figure-rqna27f99m20d2mzo"><img id="rqna27f99m20d2mzo" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/468112252/photo/green-eyed-beautiful-model-applying-foundation-with-a-brush.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=PHOciG_Xd4h3y-l3rvj0qqYlosr8e6zyY_OHPMAFVTQ=" alt="Green eyed beautiful model applying foundation with a brush" title="Green eyed beautiful model applying foundation with a brush" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/468112252/photo/green-eyed-beautiful-model-applying-foundation-with-a-brush.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=PHOciG_Xd4h3y-l3rvj0qqYlosr8e6zyY_OHPMAFVTQ=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>How to Fill:</strong></p><ul><li>Fill in the wing from the tip toward the base, ensuring no gaps.</li><li>Go over the liner as needed to smooth out the color and sharpen the edges.<br><strong>Pro Tip:</strong> For a bolder look, go back and thicken the liner on your upper lash line, but make sure it tapers into the inner corner of the eye for a sleek finish.</li></ul><h3>Perfect and Clean Up the Edges</h3><p>Even the most skilled makeup lovers make small mistakes, but there's an easy way to clean up any uneven lines or streaks.</p><figure id="figure-g9xhnbqb39m20d4d5v"><img id="g9xhnbqb39m20d4d5v" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1183600460/photo/woman-is-disappointed-with-her-skill-of-applying-makeup.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=5Tytk3U-0BBSyXqawU9AR4Hl6wy_6NYDbPW1CSvVy1A=" alt="Woman is disappointed with her skill of applying makeup" title="Woman is disappointed with her skill of applying makeup" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1183600460/photo/woman-is-disappointed-with-her-skill-of-applying-makeup.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=5Tytk3U-0BBSyXqawU9AR4Hl6wy_6NYDbPW1CSvVy1A=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><p><strong>How to Fix Mistakes:</strong></p><ul><li><strong>Use concealer:</strong> Dip a small angled brush into the concealer and clean up any uneven edges along the wing to sharpen it.</li><li><strong>Cotton swab and micellar water:</strong> Use a cotton swab dipped in micellar water to clean up smudges or smooth out any imperfections.<br><strong>Product to Try:</strong> <a data-mce-href="https://amzn.to/408Q2BT" href="https://amzn.to/408Q2BT" target="_blank">Bioderma Sensibio H2O Micellar Water</a> is great for quick touch-ups without disrupting the rest of your makeup.</li></ul><h3>Match Both Wings: Achieving Symmetry</h3><p>Getting both wings to look identical is often the most challenging part of winged eyeliner.
