Avon's Totally Kissable Lipstick, Tips on making your lipstick stay & more!

I never was a big fan of lipstick until a few years ago, now I wear it almost every day. I recently tried Avon's new Totally Kissable Lipstick and fell in love! This lipstick makes my lips feel smooth and soft, it is not sticky either! Totally Kissable Lipstick will be available in Campaign 4 on page 3 for 3.99$ (regularly 9.99$) available in 10 Kissable shades!

as you can see the lipstick is almost identical to the color featured in the brochure

The reason why I never wore lipstick before was because it would always come off and I'd have to re-apply it numerous times a day, which became annoying. I don't mind re-applying the lipstick every once in awhile during the day, but not all the time. I decided to find information on how to get your lipstick to stay longer so you do not have to re-apply it every hour!

Here is what I have gathered:

 1. Apply lip balm, my favorite is Avon Care Deeply (often on sale for 0.99$)
Before applying lip balm you can also apply a lip exfoliator, but this is optional. Avon has one available.

2. After letting lip balm set for a few minutes apply either lip liner or powdered foundation ( you may apply both, first the lip liner then the foundation). This gives something for the lip stick to hold onto.

3. Next apply your desired shade of lipstick.
See below for help with picking the perfect shade of lipstick!

4. After the lipstick has set for a few minutes, blot your lips - Do Not Rub lipstick!

5. Apply lipstick again.
If you want you may blot the lipstick and apply the lipstick again.

6. Optional: Apply lip gloss - my recommendation is Avon's Clear Glazewear Lip Gloss. The lip gloss will help protect your color, since the gloss will come off before the color will!

How to pick the perfect shade of lipstick:

Determine your skin's undertone:

• Look at the veins on your wrists in natural light (outside or by a window)
• If your veins look bluish, your skin tone is cool
• If your veins look greenish, your skin tone is warm

Other things to consider when picking a lip stick shade:

• Your hair - if your hair is a lighter color, your lipstick will appear brighter
• Your teeth - if they are yellowish, blue undertones may help hide this - Stay away from corals/oranges, these colors will make your teeth discoloration more obvious!
• Staying safe - pick a color that's 1-2 shades darker or lighter than your natural lip color
• Skin color - either you have fair, medium, olive, or dark skin
