Keeping lipstick in place is quite tricky. However, there are a few tricks to help keep the lipstick on your lips! First, try using Chap Stick before you apply lipstick. It helps bring out the color and also helps your lipstick to stay on longer. Second, apply a nude lip liner or any color lip liner that matches with your lipstick. It will help keep the lipstick from "bleeding." Third, try using a matte (non-shiny) lipstick that's long-lasting. You can find them anywhere from Target to Sephora. If you're really worried about lipstick coming off under certain circumstances like kissing your boyfriend, try using a lip stain. It's usually in liquid form, but they do make lip stain balms also. Dab a drop or two on your lips and rub all over. It's pretty much staining your lips but in a nicer color than when your lips are stained from eating too much cherry pops. When you apply lip gloss, don't apply all over your lips. It gets too gunky and gooey. A little bit on the bottom of your lip and then rubbing your lips together is enough. Lastly, dusting a little bit of translucent, loose powder on your lips can help your lipstick stay on longer~

Suggestions:
Revlon-ColorStay Overtime (Target-should cost no more than $10)
Clinique-Long Last Soft Matte Lipstick (Department stores, Sephora-$14)
Sephora Brand-Maniac Long Wearing Lipstick (Sephora Only-$12)
Benefit- Benetint Lip/Cheek Stain (Department stores, Sephora-$28)
Laura Mercier-Lip Stain (Department stores, Sephora-$20)

Hope this is helpful!
