Making it Simple: Hacks To Fix Your Lipstick Problems

Transfer to Teeth

The bad thing about this is that it draws attention to your mouth, a.k.a your teeth

Hack

To prevent this, open your mouth just wide enough to fit your index finger, and with a clean finger, simply stick it in and drag it out

The Dry Lipstick

This is especially true of matte formulas. The whole point of matte lipsticks is for them to dry down, which can actually dry your lips out

Hack

Moisturize your lips with some lip balm, and when your lips have dried and soaked up all that good moisture, go for a more creamy lipstick formula

Not  Long Lasting

Whether it just simply starts fading or comes off when you eat or drink, there are a couple simple solutions

Hack

Try filling in your whole lip with liner, it offers a barrier between your lip and lipstick. Set it with a very light dusting of setting powder

The Runny Lipstick

It is straight up borderline dripping off your lips! This can especially be the case in the hot summer months

Hack

Simply use a cloth or tissue to lightly blot your lipstick application

A Broken Lipstick

Whatever you do, don't panic! Your lipstick might not be dead after all

Hack

Carefully melt one end of the lipstick by a flame and stick it back on the piece left in the tube. Place it in the fridge for about half an hour, and it should be good to go

Lipstick Won't Come Off

Except that it ends up creating a lipstick problem all on its own. It won't come off

Hack

Leave some Vaseline or olive oil on your lips for several minutes, and wipe off with a cloth. Your lips will rehydrate, too!
