A perfect pout always begins with a super moisturized foundation. There’s nothing worse in my book than crumbly lips concealed with caked-on lipstick. For a simple home remedy, mix equal parts white sugar with olive or coconut oil. Gently rub across your lips for 30 seconds, then pat gently with a napkin.![Skip the Liner]()

Whether you are ready for the full impact of the brown lipstick trend or not, a blot will do wonders for aiding in length of wear. It also offers trend-wary gals a taste of the color without the full coverage commitment.

And for those who want to embrace the trend in all its glory, re-apply after you blot for a richer color.![Dabble]()
Still uncertain this is for you? Pop the center of your lips with your "go-to" comfort color to help ease the edge of the all-over brown pout. We all have the one quick grab-bag lipstick we love and know looks good. Consider adding it to the mix to help gently ease yourself into the trend.![Proceed with Caution]()
