Hydrate the body with lots and lots of water, hydrate the lips with a good lip balm, and either skip lipstick/lipgloss and go with lip balm for a few days or pick only very hydrating lip products to wear during the day.

Rant & Rave: Liquid Lipstick

Tell us what you love and hate about...

I love how long they can wear for, but most formulas are at least somewhat drying during the wear!  I love when they’re really pigmented and don’t dry down instantly (but don’t take forever to dry either!).
