Lipstick as blush tip

Lipstick As Blush
If you're looking tired or just want your blush to last longer, a cheap way to do that is to dot your fave lipstick on the apples of your cheeks and blend, the same way you would with a cream or mousse blush. If it goes on too heavy, use a tissue to rub away some or blend a light dot of foundation over the lipstick.
If you’re using a lip stain, you can do the same thing. Apply moisturizer first to help the lip stain glide on more easily.

I use this trick to make blush last longer. After you apply the lipstick to the cheeks, add powder blush over it (if you have it with you) and then dust translucent powder over top. Your blush will last much longer, and you'll have a glow as though you are lit from within...or look like you just ran a mile.

How to make lipstick last

Exfoliate your lips: 1. You can use an exfoliating lip scrub or just a washcloth or toothbrush. Rub lightly to wipe away dead skin cells and improve circulation, but don’t irritate the sensitive skin or cause chafing.

Apply lip liner: 2. Apply a shade of lip liner that matches your lip color. First, go around the outer edge of your lip line (to make lips appear fuller) or just around the inner edge (to minimize large lips). Then, color both lips inside those lines.

Apply lipstick: 3. Apply your favorite lip color, starting from the center and working outward.

Blot: 4. Kiss a tissue. This removes any excess lipstick.

Reapply lipstick: 5. Many people skip this step, but it will make your lipstick last longer. Reapply lipstick carefully to add another layer of color.

Add powder: 6. Apply a thin layer of translucent face powder across your lips with a brush to lock in the lipstick. This creates staying power all day. Wipe off the extra powder with a tissue.

Add gloss for shine: 7. After you apply the powder, you can apply a lip gloss for added shine.
