When you’re in a hurry, or just feeling a bit lackadaisical, sometimes the easiest way to add glamor to your appearance is to paint your pout with a bright color. But whatever shade you prefer – bold red, vibrant coral or a cool berry tone – you’ll want to take a few steps to ensure that the color lasts.

It’s easy to employ a few tricks to keep your lipstick from fading. When selecting a lip color, opt for a durable formula, like Borghese Longevita Long Lasting Lipcolour & Liner, a dual-sided lipstick and liner that is rich in both pigment and moisture.

According to InStyle.com, prior to applying color, you should prep your mouth with a primer. Too Faced Lip Insurance Smoothing, Anti-Feathering Lip Primer is designed to help lipstick achieve maximum staying power.

After lip color has been applied, the website recommends that you finish with a light dusting of translucent powder, like Too Faced Absolutely Invisible Translucent Pressed Powder. The formula is breathable and sheer, making it perfect for this purpose.
