If we use long lasting products for lips, they often feel like thick and dry. But here is a good news for all of us. Your regular lipstick can also stay longer even after whatever you eat.

Next, apply lipstick with the help of a brush. Blot the lipstick with a tissue and repeat it again. Prefer to use matte lipstick as they last long. Avoid slippery toppers as they reduce the lifespan of lipstick and will require touch ups.
