Most girls have felt the irresistible pull of a tube of liquid lipstick. It’s one of those products that can instantly glam you up. Unfortunately, it comes at a steep price: dry lips, tricky application, and uncomfortable wear.
Don’t fret! We’re here to give you a few tips on how to apply liquid lipstick perfectly, every time:
#1 Prime your lips by exfoliating them
Liquid lipsticks tend to cling to dry spots. To ensure the smoothest application, gently exfoliate your lips with a warm washcloth to remove excess dry skin.
#2 Apply lip balm
Once your lips are exfoliated, they’re going to need some moisture. Swipe on the Baby Lips Dr. Rescue Lip Balm to keep your lips hydrated.
#3 Choose a lippie that feels comfortable on the lips
Not a fan of liquid lipstick’s heavy look and feel? Maybelline Superstay Matte Ink liquid lipstick offers full coverage with one swipe. The result? Intense color that will last for hours.
#4 Lip liner is optional
A lip liner’s main purpose is to keep the color within your lips’ perimeter, but smudging shouldn’t be a problem if you’re working with a budge-proof lippie. Use the applicator tip to glide around the curves of your lips.
#5 Use some concealer
Apply some concealer along the edges of your lips prior to liquid lipstick application. This will give your lips a more defined outline, making your lippie pop.
#6 At the end of the day, remove it with an oil-based makeup remover
To remove your lipstick without drying your lips, use an oil-based makeup remover.
