"Lip stains can be tricky to get to go on evenly on a good day, and if your smackers are even slightly dry? It&amp;#x27;s the worst. Which is why my ears perked up when makeup artist Sarah Lucero dropped this tip on me backstage at the Elizabeth &amp;amp; James show at Fall 2013 New York Fashion Week yesterday. She used a stain on the girls&amp;#x27; lips (Stila Cherry Crush) to get a sort of soft, faded look but here&amp;#x27;s the thing: She mixed it with lip balm before she applied it. That way it didn&amp;#x27;t settle into any lines or get caught on any dry patches caused by our chilly temperatures. It made the color a little less dramatic, sure, but a small price to pay for not looking like a hot mess, don&amp;#x27;t you think? One tip: Don&amp;#x27;t mix it on the back of your hand. It is called a stain, afterall, so it&amp;#x27;s going to leave a mark. So I say smear it on the back of your stain cap instead and wipe it off afterwards! Oh, and if you&amp;#x27;ve got any extra on your finger, just tap it on your cheeks for a dewy glow!
