Make your lipgloss last longer
Keep your lips looking glossy like Jennifer Hudson’s
Lipgloss has a tendency to pull a disappearing act before you've finished your first cocktail. The trick to making your gloss stick around a lot longer is to layer up your lips.

1). Start by filling in your entire mouth with a lip liner that matches the natural shade of your lips. This creates a base for your lipcolor to grab onto.

2). Next, apply a creamy neutral lipstick in a similar shade to the liner. Blot away the excess to tone down the color intensity, then brush on a healthy dose of your gloss.

In general, thick, shimmer-flecked formulas tend to last longer than sheer ones. And if you have a habit of licking your lips when you're wearing gloss, opt for an unscented, unflavored lipgloss to help nix the temptation of eating away at the goods.

That's a lot of work just for lip gloss...but if it works and I don't have to reapply my lip gloss every 20 minutes..then maybe it's worth it.
