7. | Lipstick Out Of Bounds? Lipcolor 'bleeding' is a common problem. To prevent it, first apply lipstick. Then, dip the corner of a dry wedgie sponge into loose powder and dot at the upper and lower corners of your mouth on the skin at the outside edge of the lipline. This is where 'bleeding' usually occurs. Whisk away excess powder with the clean edge of your sponge.
