Keep your lipstick to your lips! No more stained teeth with these tips

Yes, red lipstick is sexy -- until you open your mouth and find the red lip colour on your two front teeth! In fact, the bright red lipstick on your teeth is as unattractive as cracked lips and can make you get very embarrassed. Here are a few tips to keep the lipstick off your teeth the next time you are applying your lip colour.

• As soon as you apply the lipstick make sure that you press your crimson colour lips onto a folded tissue to blot.
• You can simply place your forefinger or pinky finger into your mouth and gently remove any lip colour that you may have applied on the inside of your lips.
• Preferably use a lip brush instead of the lipstick bar so that you have more control of where you are putting the colour.
• Here’s another simple trick. Put your finger in your mouth and form an O around your finger with your lips. Now slowly slide your finger out of your mouth. Any lip colour on your inner lips that would have stuck on your teeth is now on your fingers.
