Step 1
After applying a lip balm, dip a concealer brush into your foundation and outline your lips. This will prevent color from bleeding. Rub a damp Q-tip over your mouth to remove excess balm and any flakes. (For extra softening, use rosewater and glycerin instead of water. Try Heritage Products Rosewater & Glycerin, $4; swansonvitamins.com.)
