The first beauty product I ever received was a lipstick. I was 4 years old, it was a clear CoverGirl formula (practically a balm) in a classic bullet tube, and I was instantly smitten. I credit this one product with my lifelong love affair with beauty — and lipsticks in particular. I wear lipstick every single day, and of all the products I hoard, lip formulas have a special place in my stash. As a result, I've accumulated some tips and tricks to keep my pout on point.
