Bleeding listick - what can I do?

[BumperliciousNeedsToSleep]

I don't smoke and am only 27 yet I seem to have yawning crevices around my mouth meaning that when I wear the stunning new lipstick I spend twelve fricking pounds on a few weeks ago it bleeds everywhere and makes me look like a mad 70 former prozzie. What can I do to stop it without looking like one of those women who appear to wear lipliner and no lipstick ?

Long answer:

Prepare lips with foundation (coat them lightly with your base)
Powder lips
Apply lipstick, blot, powder - do three times
The apply lip liner over edge of lipstick

Short Answer:

Buy lip line fixer from Body Shop

Wear nice lipgloss instead? I never wear proper lippy, I don't like the smudging and slipping.

benefit do a D'finer D'Liner (a fixer thing) which is quite good. I find that Chanel lipsticks although costly do stay but an Elizabeth Arden (given to me, not cheap either) slides into grim old lady creases I never even knew I had!)

Thanks for the replies. I checked out the Body Shop thing but am undecided as it is £7 (when did body shop get so expensive?) and naturally the Benefit one is twice as pricey I was hoping that something cheap like vaseline or something

If you fill in all your lips with lipliner instead of lipstick it'd probably last longer with no bleeding? A tiny touch of vaseline in the centre of your lips would make it look less dry/matte.

what lipstick is it? maybe you need a matt one

It's this. I have a touche eclat but it is about 3 years old
