Lipstick Rule No. 8: Toss the Gloss
Lipstick Rule No. 8: Toss the Gloss "Applying gloss over your lipstick is a common mistake," says King. "This can cause the lipstick to bleed and transfer onto the teeth."

If you're going for more sheen on the lips, King recommends applying a lip balm first (as discussed in Rule No. 2) -- not a lip gloss. Or, instead of lipstick, opt for a highly pigmented liquid lip color, such as Nars Lip Gloss, $26.
