Lipstick bleeding - solutions

This is a new one for me and not a good look. Is lip liner the only solution ... the solid line of lip liner with bare lips once lippy has worn off isn't a good look either!

Also would anyone care to recommend a nice lippy please. Bought a matter Bobbing Browne one recently but not that fussed - would like a lovely natural shade.

Colour the whole of the lips with lip liner before putting the lipstick on.

Really? Thank you ... wouldn't have thought of that. Looks like a lip liner is on my list too then.

Yes colour your whole lip first. Acts a bit like a primer then to hold the lipstick on better.

You can also get clear lipliner which stops lipstick from bleeding. I have the body shop one.

Apply lipliner. 'Feather' inwards with a lip brush. Apply lipstick over the top.

Looks much better if it happens to wear a bit in the middle of your lips. Personally I prefer doing it this way than using liner all over my lips.

Clear lipliner or one the same colour as your lips, then you can wear it with every lipstick.

Lipcote is good as well.

I always use a lip liner helps a lot.

I also discovered recently Urban Decay lipstick primer pencil, you literally put it in just before you lipstick and it really does make it last all day

Lip liner terribly drying. I'd recommend Maybelline 24 hour. It stays put, doesn't bleed and you can keep moisturised with a slick of the balm every couple of hours.

Thanks all. I tried Charlotte Tilbury where the assistant applied lip liner to my entire lip then topped with lipstick. It felt dry but very sticky and tacky. It did last a meal and didn't bleed. Ended up with lip liner and lipstick from Nars - happy with it but will keep the liner as light as I can.

The urban decay liners are great
