Swap your lipstick for a lip rouge, tint or stain. These lip products have a much longer staying power than lipstick. Here are three products we recommend:
How To Fix
Start with a clean slate by wiping away the existing product. Pay special attention to the edges of your lips and the dry spots. Pigment tends to latch onto those areas. Make sure your lips are completely dry and apply your product as needed.

Opt for an eyeshadow primer and apply it prior to applying your eye makeup. While it may not prevent creasing completely, it will certainly reduce this issue.

Don't make the mistake of trying to cover the mascara with more concealer. It will look cakey, and make your eyes appear darker.
