Before you start brushing your teeth, use your dry toothbrush to exfoliate your lips and remove any dead skin. Apply a dab of lip balm to your lips, then blot it off with a tissue to remove excess — this will hydrate your pout and ensure the lipstick doesn't wipe off after you apply.

Use a lip brush to paint on a dramatic lip color, like Tom Ford Lip & Cheek Stain Color (new for fall. Our hearts stopped when this landed on our desk — it's that pretty). "A lip brush gives you a better shape, especially with bold colors," says Lake.
