Answer 2

So here's the deal. The key to great looking lipstick is soft supple moist lips. Unfortunately, the skin on our lips is non-porous, which means it can't hydrate itself. It needs our help. Unfortunately, most products we buy to moisturize our lips contain a product called salicylic acid. SA is a drying agent found in a lot of acne treatment products to dry out pimples and blackheads (read the labels). So while the lip balms initially moisturize the lips because the product itself is moist, eventually the SA will dry out the lips. So what do we do? We put on more and more balm until we look like we've been eating Crisco straight from the can! Oddly enough, we keep buying the stuff! Go figure.

Someone else on here recommended the Lip Primer by Mary Kay, and while it's a great base for your lipstick, I'd also recommend the Satin Lips Set by Mary Kay. The Lip Mask gently exfoliates the dead skin from the surface of your lips and the Lip Balm is the only one I know of that doesn't contain salicylic acid! I'm sure there may be one or two others, but I couldn't tell you what they are.

So here's what you do:

Satin Lips Lip Mask (once or twice a week is plenty)
Satin Lips Lip Balm (once daily/as needed)

Mary Kay Lip Primer
Your Favorite Lip Liner
Your Favorite Lipstick
Your Favorite Lip Gloss

Enjoy picture perfect lips everytime that even last through lunch, the ultimate test!

I think the key is to use a high quality lipstick that will moisten and protect you lip all day. I used to believe that all makeup are the same and we pay more money just for marketing. But, last month, for the first time I tried Dior addict lipstick, wow, what a difference, it is creamy and felt so great on my lips. When I got home, I threw out all my drugstore brand makeups. For dry lips, dior addict lipstick is a really great choice, but it is not long lasting though.

If you want to wear lipstick or any other lip colour you need to prepare your lips properly. This is especially important at this time of year when cold weather and central heating wreak havoc on your poor lips as they don't contain any oil glands. I recommend you try Lipscription by Benefit which costs approx £23. This is a kit containing a lip exfoliator and a balm. The exfoliator is a cream which you gently buff your lips with and then remove with a washcloth or tissue, You then apply the silky balm and allow it to sink in. You will be left with a perfect base for colour. If you are on a tight budget, try applying petrolium jelly to your lips and gently buffing with a toothbrush!
