Sorry to take so long to check back in on the thread...life has been crazy lately.
I will have to try the lip liner again...I had put a little bit on as an afterthought, *after* I had applied the lipstick, just to neaten up the outline. But by that point, the liner is really mixing with the lipstick and probably isn't providing much of a barrier. Lip liner *first* next time!
I didn't realize there was such a thing as clear lip liner. I'll have to check that out! I also didn't realize that there was lip primer. I wonder if I could experiment with putting a bit of foundation on my lips to make them a little tacky and dry so that the liquidy gloss has something more to adhere to.
And I like the tips in the Goss video, Caro. I should check out Lisa Eldridge, too...I think she has a video about how to wear vibrant lipsticks, which probably has techniques to prevent bleeding, as it is so noticeable with the more dramatic colors.
Thanks, all! I have plenty of ideas to try here.
