If you’re anything like us, you love a good lipstick. But let’s be real—between juggling work, errands, and everything else life throws at us, who has time to keep reapplying? There’s nothing worse than glancing in the mirror and seeing your once-bold lip color faded, smudged, or worse—completely gone!
Trust us, we know the struggle. You want your lip color to last, but you don’t always have the time (or energy!) to deal with constant touch-ups. We get it. That’s why we’re about to share a makeup artist secret that’s going to change your lipstick game for good.
We call it The Tissue Trick, and once you try it, you’ll wonder how you ever lived without it! This old-school stage makeup hack works with ANY lipstick, turning your favorite shade into one that lasts all day—whether you’re giving a big presentation or just chasing after the kids.
So, What’s the Tissue Trick?
Here’s everything you need:
- Your favorite lipstick (yep, any formula works!)
- A facial tissue
- Loose face powder
- A powder brush
Step 1: Apply Your Favorite Lipstick
Start by applying your favorite lip color as you normally would. Whether it’s a creamy texture, a satin finish, or something glossy—it doesn’t matter. The beauty of this trick is that it works with any lipstick formula!
Step 2: Grab a Tissue (Here’s Where the Magic Happens!)
Next, grab a facial tissue and gently split it so you’re left with just one thin layer. This step is important—don’t skip it! You want the tissue to be thin enough for the powder to seep through.
Step 3: Set It with Powder
Now, here’s the real game-changer. Keep your lips together and place that single ply of tissue over your mouth. Using a powder brush, lightly tap some loose face powder over the tissue. The powder will filter through, setting your lipstick in place (just like setting powder for your foundation!). It locks the color in, making it last way longer.
Step 4: Apply a Second Coat (Because Two Is Better Than One!)
For even more staying power, go ahead and apply a second coat of your lipstick on top of the set layer. This step is totally optional, but if you want serious longevity, trust us—it’s worth it!
Step 5: Enjoy Long-Lasting, Kiss-Proof Lips!
That’s it—you’re done! Now your lipstick is locked in place and ready to take on whatever your day throws at you. Whether you’re headed to a meeting, out for a night, or simply running errands, your lips will stay bold and beautiful.
