Make lipstick last. When you have a long workday or a night on the town ahead and you’d like your lip color to stay vibrant throughout, here’s a sweet trick: Apply lipstick as usual, then tip your head back and sprinkle a pinch of sugar all over your lips. Let it sit for a few minutes to draw moisture from your lipstick and then either lick the sugar off or lift it off with a damp cloth. This simple step should extend the life of your lip color.
