Red lipstick is one of the beauty items that are definitely ‘in’ right now! The Marilyn Monroe inspired look can look gorgeous but can also turn out to be lip faux pas disaster! Never fear, here are 4 lipstick laws that you should know to prevent yourself from becoming from a ‘Hot Yay’ into a ‘Hot Nay’.

Enforce these laws now and you can flaunt off your luscious lips!

#1 Do a Teeth Check: I find it so annoying when I am talking to someone and they have a lipstick stain on their white teeth. Not only does it distract my attention, but I can’t really confront them about the issue either. To prevent yourself from being oblivious to the smeared lipstick, do yourself a favor and check on your teeth!

#2 Don’t Kiss People: This rule, henceforth known as “Colin’s Commandment” is merely a matter of common courtesy. Giving someone a hickey without permission is ‘un-cool’, kissing and leaving behind evidence is a certifiable no-no. So be considerate and press your cheek to the other person’s cheek instead of laying your lips on them.

#3 Keep the Color on Your Lips — Not Your Face: Lipstick has a tendency to migrate off its intended target especially with age. The pigment bleed into the creases around the lips. You can prevent this by placing a tissue over your lips and applying a light dusting of translucent powder around your mouth before you apply color. Applying liner to the entire lip (not just the outline) will also help to keep lipstick in place.

#4 Blot Before You Sip: Make an effort to not leave a lip stain mark on what comes in contact to your lips. Cause honestly, its a little bit gross seeing your lip mark on glasswear etc;

Wear your lip stick in confidence!
