Thou shalt shun glosses.
When you need your makeup to last, you have no use for lip gloss, which disappears quickly. Instead, Dior celebrity makeup artist Ricky Wilson—who has gotten Emmy Rossum and Alison Brie ready for the red carpet this season—fills in the entire lip with a long-wearing lip pencil (like Make Up For Ever Aqua Lip Waterproof Lipliner Pencil, $18; Sephora.com) and then pats a thin layer of lipstick over it with his finger (once again, less is more).
