ok, how about a pin-up/rockabilly make up style that can be used at work.

[Delyssia LaBelle {Madam}]

how do you keep your red lips from being red around the outside and all dry and moist but faded in the middle? reapply is my answer, but if you have a better one, let me know.

[Lili DeVil]

Good one! It'd depend on where you work...
It's really easy to do a soft & pretty pin up look that's acceptable in almost ANY workplace.

1.Wear a soft/neutral eye. Try a fleshy vanilla on the lid with a neutral brown in the crease to contour. Some winged out black liquid liner and you're good to go! (You can vary the wing depending on how conservative your work is, or use brown instead of black)

2. Fill in your brows to accentuate your arch and give you a hint of naughty!

3. A lil'bit of blush for a natural flush

4. And last, but CERTAINLY not least, your red lip! Use a sheer gloss if you wanna tone it down a bit.

Hope that helped! I think we should all be pin-ups all the time, and work shouldn't be an exception!
XOXO

Hmmmm... Do you use lip liner? I like to line and fill in my whole lip to keep it on longer.
You can also set your lipstick with a powder.
I like to drink EVERYTHING (even hot coffee) with a straw to keep it on longer..

Or you could try a long wearing lipstick, but those can get chunky and nasty after a while...

And if none of those work... You got it, re-apply!

I use fill in my lips with lip liner and then use Mac Ruby Woo. Then I put some chapstick over top. That seems to help keep the lipstick looking fresh.

Whats the best way to make EVEN cat eyes? I'm always going back and forth and redoing them... I'm starting to think that the creases in my eyes don't match...

I love Ruby Woo! Using matte textures will keep it on longer too.

As Lili's BF & business partner I feel I can take some of these Q’s too... haha, or I'm just bored & she'll answer your questions also.
Alot of people do not have symmetrical eyes. You just need to compensate. So one eye bigger than the other... you're going to need to create the illusion that they are the same. So draw a thicker line on the smaller eye and a thinner on the bigger. Your wings don't match up? Use a charcoal shadow to map the lines until you have them even (remember they only have to look like sisters, not twins). Then go over it with liquid liner. Some people find different types of liner or brushes help. Try out a few products and you'll have it down in no time!

I use MAC as a red, cos they do beautiful colours, but i set my lips with a refiner after. Blot the lips, and then add something like Rimmel lip lock (UK) or Lipcote, Rimmel is better in my opinion, but it basically sets the colour into the lips so it stays on the lips, of course it fades after a time, but you get to use your favourite colour without worrying too much!

hope this helps too!
