Eldridge's tips to make your lipstick last longer
Wearing a face mask when trying to wear lipstick is like wrestling a toddler at bath time; you’re losing lipstick to your face mask and getting it all over your face. How can we stop this mess from happening while still rocking bold looks?
Prepping your lips with a good lip balm and keeping them hydrated before putting on any lipstick will help with a flawless application. Before applying lipstick, always blot off excess lip balm the key to making lipstick last is always using thin layers.
Start by lining your lips in the way you want to accentuate them, or if you want a long-lasting look, then layer the pencil all over your lips. You can then apply the lipstick over the pencil.
“start with a thin layer — maybe with a lip brush — so that it almost settles in the creases on the lip. Then, put another thin layer on top and tap it in with your finger or blot it with a tissue. You'll still feel the creaminess on the surface, but you won't have any excess product available to come off.”

How to change your look
You can use a lip pencil to change your lips’ shape; if one lip is smaller, you can use the pencil to try and get the right balance between the two. You can also use the pencil to accentuate or blur out the shape of your cupid's bow, depending on your preference.
When you use bold colors, you can use lipstick as blush to create a consistent look. Using a small blush brush, pick up some pigment from the lipstick bullet and brush it onto your checks. Then use your ring fingers to blend the blush into your foundation gently.
If you're going for a monochromatic look, you can use lipstick or lip gloss on your eyes. To do this, apply the lipstick with a small eyeshadow brush onto your eyelids and blend it out.
