1. Blot Your Lips

Once you’ve applied your lipstick, take a tissue, fold it in half and press it to your lips; this removes lipstick residue, says Yves Saint Laurent ambassador Natasha Severino.

2. Re-apply Lipstick

Apply a second coat, which allows the pigment to soak into your lips. Then take apart another two-ply tissue; place a single layer over your lips.

3. Brush Lips With Powder

Now, gently brush loose powder over tissue and lips to create a supersoft, longer-lasting lippie look. Give it a go with Yves Saint Laurent Rouge Pur Couture ($50; 02-9931 8888).
