In morning, lightly brush your lips with your toothbrush to shed away the peeling skin of your lips. Before you coat them with lipstick, ensure that you use a sunscreen added lip balm not to only retain the colour, but also to protect them from the sun.

2. Use lip liners to outline lips. It is effective in preventing bleeding of lip colours. Also, use a gentle dab of foundation on the lips before you use a lipstick.
