WHATCHAWANNAKNOW WEDNESDAY
I recently reconnected with a client of mine who is a fantastic dancer!! I worked with Sue and her husband on a commercial, that featured the couple showing off their dancing skills. One thing I can say about this couple is that they can really move!! The other day, Sue posted a beauty question on my facebook page about a product that she doesn’t want moving!!!
Question: How can I stop my lipstick from running?
Answer: Matte lipstick formulas aren’t as likely to run as quickly as those lipsticks that contain a a lot of emollient. Grabbing a matte lipstick is your first option!! However, If your absolute favorite lip color isn’t matte, there are a couple of options that you can try: Pick up a lipstick primer. Lipstick primers were developed to make your lipstick behave!! They’ll grab a hold of your lipstick and won’t let go!! Another option is using a plain old Chapstick– apply it to your lips making sure to go outside of your lip line a smidge. The waxy substance will fill in any fine lines that your lipstick might settle into.
Quick tip: Wearing lip pencil as lipstick is also an option. Fill in your entire lip with the pencil, dab a tiny bit of gloss to the center of your lip. Talk about staying power!!!
Here’s a lipstick primer from Too Faced,

you know this brings up a GREAT question of my own totally related. I’m a gloss girl, through and through. I probably own one stick of actual lipstick, and it’s matte and RED (like Gwen RED). I only wear that when I feel super sassy and we’re going out. But anyway, here’s the question: WHY are my lips always “peeling”? that sounds really gross, but I feel like anytime I put on gloss, by the end of the night, it’s making my lips peely. Weird, gross, and embarassing. What’s up with that?
I’m gonna check this one out with a dermatologist I know. I’ll post the answer as soon as I have one!!
sweet. thanks. Looking forward to seeing if there’s a reason and a cure! Thanks sister!
