Dip your finger in water, then into pink or red Jell-O powder; rub over lips and top with balm for creating an amazing stay put shade.
For a long-lasting color apply color and topcoat separately.
Apply your foundation over your lips when applying make up. This will give you a great base for your lipstick helping it to last much longer.
Another methods for a sheer, natural finish that stays longer is put on liner, then lipstick, dab translucent face powder over the mouth, reapply liner and lipstick. The face powder on top of creams sets them for longer period.
