CARDINAL RULES
A classic red lip gives the
face contrast no matter
how old you are, says
Linter, who notes that
while feathering and fading
are real concerns as we
lose collagen around our
mouths over time, tracing
the lip line with a pencil in
a more natural shade akin
to your own lip color will
prevent bleeding. Just be
wary of overdrawing, she
cautions: “If the line gets
too wide at the corners, it
starts to go clownish.”
