Lipstick Stain Solutions

Q: When I accidentally apply red lipstick beyond my lip line, it stains. What's the best repair
strategy?

A: The easiest way to remove a dark-hued lipstick smudge is with oil-free eye-makeup
remover. And since the formula is oil-free, it won't make the rest of your lipstick blur. To do, dab a little remover on a cotton swab, then carefully run the tip along your lip line -- as if you're using a pencil eraser. Try Mary Kay Oil-Free Eye Makeup Remover, $14.

Another option is to cover the smear with a skin-tone-matching foundation or concealer. First, blot off as much of the stain as possible with a tissue, then dab the corner of a damp cosmetic sponge into the cover-up and rub it lightly over the area to neutralize the redness.

Smooches!
