Hey guys. My name is Susan, and I'm a makeup artist. Today, I'm going to show you a quick tip on how not to smudge your lipstick. Now you just need something as simple as a tissue or a really flat cotton pad. So, what you're going to do after you apply your lipstick, you want to take said cotton pad or tissue, fold it in half and blot. Then you get a cute little lip mark after that. So the reason taking a tissue or a cotton pad really helps is that it helps soak up that excess lipstick you might have put on. So definitely if you applied a little too much, it's a great quick time and very inexpensive too. So, now that you have a little less lipstick on you can go about your day and not worry about it falling off and landing on your cup. So, there you have it. Thanks for watching.
