[sidebar] First of all, don’t press hard when you blot. It’s just intended to take off excess color, not keep the color from moving altogether. If you’re blotting hard because you’re afraid the color is going to get everywhere otherwise, use a lip liner, and go over the top of your lipstick with pressed powder to set it.To keep your wear more even, avoid putting the tissue between your lips. Instead, just press it lightly on top of your mouth. This way, you don’t remove more color from the inside than the outside. The color inside fades faster anyway, and lips are naturally darker toward the center, so this makes the color look less “fake” as well.
