French term

la mauvaise tenue (éparpillement intempestif) du rouge à lèvres s'éparpillant sur les traits autour de vos lèvres ?

bleeding or feathering "Bleeding" is fine for lipstick; http://www.ehow.com/how_116376_fix-bleeding-lipstick.html

"Feathering" is another commonly used term for this; http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20091214214314AA...

good refs Nikki! @Raffaela - bleed/bleeding is the term used in the cosmetics industry.
Also in printing.
It doesn't sound "tough" to a native English speaker.

bleed I find the term a bit tough

Sources A couple of sources which may be handy, using cosmetic surgery and lipstick are both part of the text.

Lip Augmentation

Lip Implants

Lip Augmentation will increase the fullness of your upper lip, lower lip, or both. It will not improve problems with lipstick bleed along your wrinkles. If this is your main concern, consider Permanent Make-up or a Wrinkle Treatment. If your lips are full enough but too long or low, then you should consider a lip lift which raises droopy lips.

Lip enhancement benefits

The natural ageing process causes your lips to get thinner and lose definition. This problem is particularly pronounced around the V-shaped area of the upper lip known as Cupid’s Bow. Attempts to disguise the problem through makeup are often unsatisfactory as lipstick tends to bleed down vertical wrinkles. Lip enhancement can fix this.

poor lipstick holding/staying power (bleeding of colour)

In cosmetics-land, one refers to the holding or staying power of a lipstick and "bleeding" or running of the colour into the fine lines around the lips. I think you need to rework the whole sentence into something more idiomatic. I wouldn't bother with translating "intempestif" for example.

e.g.
Lipstick does not hold well and bleeds into the lines around your lips.
