A lot of women have a hard time getting their lipstick to stay on. Honestly, so do I! However, there are a few tricks that will help it to stay on longer than if you we're to just simply swipe it on. The number one thing is to start out with moisturized lips! Dry flakey lips wont hold onto color (not to mention they look yucky). Not so much moisture that your lipstick will slide all around, but just a dab so they are full and supple.
One of my favorites techniques is to stain the lips with a darker shade of lipstick first. Use either a lip brush or your finger to really work the pigment into the lips. Blot. Then line and fill the lips in with the liner. Then apply your lighter color lipstick. This is the lipstick you'll need to carry with you for touch ups. This method works well for me. When the lighter color wears off, you still have a stain on your lips from the darker color. It looks much more natural when it fades away than just a ring of lip pencil being left behind.
*Keep gloss minimal, if any. The more glossy the lip the quicker it will fade.
