Blot Only Once

Blot your lips once, but don't rub them.

Some people don't agree with the "blot" technique, but I do. Grab a tissue, place it on your lips, and gently press them together once to blot the excess lipstick away. The last thing you want is goopy lipstick that will only end up on your teeth later. Another quick tip if you are worried about lipstick on your teeth is to take your pointer finger, make an open "O" shape with your lips, stick your pointer finger in you mouth, gently press your lips around your finger, and then slowly pull your finger back out. If you accidentally applied lipstick too far in on your lips this trick will get rid of it and save you from getting lipstick on your teeth.
