“What lipstick is good? Mine won’t stop bleeding!”

I get asked this question all the time, it’s so annoying and super frustrating when lipstick doesn’t last or you feel you’ve eaten it.

Thankfully there’s an easy fix this problem, that won’t break the bank.

My number one go to is Kat Von D EVERLASTING HYPERLIGHT TRANSFER-PROOF LIQUID LIPSTICK and Too Faced Melted Matte Liquified Longwear Lipstick.

I stopped using regular lipsticks on set because they’re unreliable and inconvenient to reuse. With these all I need to do is use a disposable lipgloss wand to grab product, and a lip brush to smooth on the lips.

The trick is to make sure lips are clean with no concealer or balm of any kind on them and apply in light thin layers or they flake. Once applied blot your lips together fast so they smooth out evenly because they dry fast.
