The most common mistake women make putting on lipstick: applying color over lip balm. Yes, lip balm can help moisturize your mouth, but you should remove all the residue before you put on your product. The oils in the balm create a slippery base for lipstick, meaning your shade is more likely to feather and smear.
Just dab some primer on your moisturised lips and smooth with a finger. This will create a barrier between the lipstick and the lip skin, and prevent dryness. Also, lip primer helps the colour pop and makes the lipstick stay on for longer.

Liquid lipstick has high pigmentation. You can achieve your look with just one swipe of liquid lipstick. Liquid lipsticks are not feeling heavy on lips and give a smooth look. So if you love bold lips, then you need liquid lipstick.
Moisturize your lips
The lip balm will soften your lips and make your lips smooth enough for the lipstick to be applied evenly. Opt for a waxy, non-oily lip balm so that there is not much oily residue on your lips. But if necessary your can also wipe off the lip balm before applying the lipstick.
Use a primer
'It is essential to use a lip primer, as this stops lipstick from bleeding and creating “fuzzy” edges, which can happen very easily when you have fine lines around the mouth' says Tricia.
Use Creme Lipsticks or Slightly Matte Lipsticks
And Super matte lipsticks for older women will be far too drying. A creme lipstick has the best chance of being a hydrating lipstick. Red Apple Lipstick makes some soft matte finish lipsticks that are very hydrating (see below).
By slightly dampening a lip brush, then dipping it in a blush to use as a "base" and to "outline" the lips before applying lipstick, the blush serves as an anchor for the lipstick—enabling it to stay all day.
The best lipstick for older women is the one that suits her skin tone. If you are good with warmer tones, then your undertone is yellow. Therefore, your choice will be shades like scarlet, coral pink, orange, navy blue, brown, warm green, and cream.
Powder. This trick is only necessary when you really need lipstick to last hours and hours without touch-ups or having to worry. Using a translucent powder, gently swipe a very thin dusting over the applied red lip. Just as it sets your face makeup, it'll make sure your lipstick will stay for good.
