Problems solved by technology

Wearers of lipstick and other colored lip products have traditionally encountered difficulty with fine facial lines that commonly form around the lips.
These facial lines often cause lipstick to bleed or spread into them.
Use of colored lip liner to aid in the maintenance of lipstick on the lips can be somewhat effective, but it still does not fully prevent the bleeding.
However, a lip liner can easily wear off and the lipstick can subsequently bleed into the facial lines.
