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!

There are two concealers to DIE FOR. First one, BOI-ING Concealer by BENEFIT. The consistency is creamy yet not too thin. It gives you very very good coverage. The second one is Laura Mercier's Secret Concealer. Oh my goodness. This concealer hides EVERYTHING! Whether it's a big pimple to dark under eye circles, it does the job and damn well. The key though is to use a concealer brush. You can get concealer brushes almost anywhere that sells make up. It's my best friend and it can be yours too :)
Also, make sure your skin is moisturized before you use concealer because you don't want your skin to get flaky. Another tip: If you're trying to hide something major, put concealer under AND over your foundation.
The Benefit concealer is about $18 and the Laura Mercier is $22.

Hi. I have 2 comments unrelated to this post. But first let me say I really do enjoy reading your blog. It's great to read about different beauty products and techniques on a level that's easy to relate to. On to the comments/suggestions:

1. Maybe you can put a separate message board or forum somewhere on your blog so people can leave requests or suggestions for discussion topics. I had hoped to do so in your message box on the left-hand column but it only leaves you so much room to write. So it left me with putting my suggestion/request in this comment section, where it is unfortunately unrelated to the original post.
2. Could you please discuss lipsticks, glosses, or stains that do not come off easily? I've always wondered what is the best to use when going, for example, on a date. I'd want to be able to put something on my lips that wouldn't come off on my boyfriend when I kiss him. Maybe even something that tasted good? That might be a stretch, so I'd settle on something that wouldn't come off easily.

I had a huge pimple on my nose Friday and this girl (saysay) put on some magic powder that made it go away. At first I thought, oh great now my pimple's gonna get bigger tomorrow morning. Turns out, the stuff she put on my pimple reduced the oil I normally extract from being a regular sweaty male. My pimple is now all gone and none of the pics we took on Friday showed any sign of a enormous red ZIT! Thanks SaySay~
