Darker lipstick looks great when I first apply it, but after a couple of hours it starts moving into fine lines. How do people stop this?

Try satin or soft matte formulas instead of super creamy ones. I love glossy lipstick, but it moves more. For long days, I use liner all over the lips, lipstick on top, then clean the edge with a tiny bit of concealer.

I use a clear anti-feathering pencil outside the lip line. It creates a little barrier without changing the lipstick colour. I also avoid very slippery balms right before lipstick because they make everything slide around.

Lip liner is the step that fixed this for me. I line the natural edge and fill in the outer corners before lipstick. Then I blot and add a thin second layer. Too much creamy lipstick makes bleeding worse, so thinner layers help a lot.
