Lipstick Rule No. 9: Perfect Your Edge
Lipstick Rule No. 9: Perfect Your Edge After your lipstick is all filled in, sometimes the edge still looks a little wonky. To fix this, King suggests applying liner after your lipstick to even things out -- without going outside the edge, of course. "Often it's easier to line after lipstick application," she says, since you already have the basic shape to work with.

If you're still worried about your lipstick bleeding outside the edge, King recommends using a lip brush to apply concealer around the lip line, or doing the same with a colorless lip pencil, such as Lipstick Queen Invisible Lip Liner, $10.
