Few things are as impactful as a perfect red or pink lip. Whether you have an important date coming up or simply want to show off this season’s lip color, I know how important it is to create a lip look that won’t fade in less than five minutes. And with a face mask on, this is harder than ever. Whether I’m backstage at a show or prepping my clients for the red carpet, I always have one of the best longwear lipsticks from my kit and a lip prep and finish to help my lip color last even longer.

Here’s your behind-the-scenes guide to perfect kissable lips…
Preparation:
Make sure to prep your lips well before you begin: Use a lip scrub, such as Kiko Pure Clean Scrub & Peel, to remove dead skin cells.
Prime:
Use a lip liner as a base and layer the same shade all over the surface of your lips, then apply your usual lip color on top. For a long-lasting finish, choose from my best long-wear lipsticks listed below.
powder:
If you want a matte finish, wipe off the lipstick and dab some loose powder on your lips through a tissue to make the finish last longer.
