Tips For Using Lip Conditioners

Not only does a lip conditioner help soften lips, but it also creates a smoother surface, allowing your lipstick to wear longer. Some conditioners are even formulated with SPF. Whee! For maximum impact:

1. Apply lip conditioner, like Aveda Nourish-Mint Lip Treatment ($15) and then gently sweep over with a lightly powdered powder brush before applying lipstick. This helps lipstick adhere and stay put.
2. Use your lip conditioner alone for a subtle sheen. This is especially nice if you're not into glossy finishes.
3. Wear overnight as a hydrating treatment.
