How to keep your lipstick from escaping your lips!

Hey guys, it's Laneka here!
One unescapable problem in the makeup community (specifically lipstick users) is the smudging and melting of lipstick. Especially in the summer time, it is particularly difficult to keep your lipstick where it belongs: on your lips! With these simple tips and tricks you will never have to fear your lipstick ending up on unwanted places.
1. Exfoliate your lips frequently.
Avoid flakiness and lips by using sugar scrubs or simply, a toothbrush to scrub off dead skin.
{My favorite scrub is the Mint Julips Lip Scrub from Lush, priced at $9.95}
2. ALWAYS MOISTURIZE YOUR LIPS.
I put this in all caps because I believe that this is the most important tip. Whether you plan on wearing lipstick or are going bare lipped, you should always slide on some lip balm or chap-stick. {My favorite lip balm is the Volupté Sheer Candy - Glossy Balm Crystal Color: 13 Griotte Mocha - Sheer Nude by Yves Saint Laurent, priced at $36.00}
3. Blot and set your lipstick.
After applying your lipstick you should take a piece of tissue paper and dab on your lips to remove excess lipstick. Then take a translucent finishing powder and gently dab on your lips. Doing this will get you a more matte look and prevent your lipstick from coming off during the wear time.
{My favorite finishing powder is Studio Finishing Powder Translucent Powder by NYX, priced at $9.99}
These are just some tricks that I use on a daily basis to keep my lipstick poppin' (word to Lil Mama) at all times.
Until next time!
Laneka.
