No one likes to apply their lipstick only to have it wear off in a
couple of hours. We spend so much time applying our makeup the last
thing we want to do is reapply lipstick every few hours. And, with
holiday parties right around the corner, it’s the perfect time to rock
those red lip . So getting the most wear from your favorite shade of
lipstick is a must. Apart from trying lipsticks that promise to have
more staying power, or drying lipstains, there are alternative ways of
extending the time your lipstick last. Below are some quick tips and
tricks to get the most from your lipsticks all year round.
Exfoliate – This is the most important
thing you can do for your lips as this removes all the dead skin from
your lips leaving new skin cells to grow in their place. This will help
keeps your lips soft and subtle. To get these done, contact me on trueteepsy@gmail.com
Lip Balm – Before beginning to apply your
makeup put on a thin coat of lip balm of your choice. This will get your
lips moisturized and keep them from looking dry and cracked. When you
are ready to apply your lip products make sure to gently wipe off any
excess lip balm. (It’s also a good idea to apply a coat of moisturizing
lip balm to your lips before bed each night to help keep your lips
smooth and hydrated)
Lipliner – Begin by using your favorite lipliner
and begin at the Cupid’s Bow of the upper lip and trace the outer part
of your lips. Once the lips are lined you are going to use the same
liner pencil to fill them in. This is extremely important as this will
lay the foundation for the lipstick you apply on top. Simply turn the
liner onto its side and color in the rest of the lip.
Lipstick – Now it’s time to apply your
lipstick. One of the things that will help your lipstick look it’s best
is to use a lip brush to put on the lipstick instead of applying it
directly from the tube. As we age we get small crevasses in our lips,
when you use the lipstick from the tube the color lays on the top
surface of the lips only. Using a brush allows the color to really get
into the lip and helps it stay longer. Dip the lipbrush into the
lipstick
and pack the color onto the lips to get a sort of stained effect. Now
take a tissue and blot your lips a couple of times to really press the
color into your lips. Now go back in with your lipstick and apply a
second coat of color.
Concealer – To help clean up around the
lips and give them a clean edge, wipe off your lipbrush really well to
remove the lipstick and use a concealer like MAC Studio Concealer to
clean up the edges.
Having amazing lips with color that will last is easy. Regardless of
whether you are wearing the perfect red holiday lip, or just want to get
the most wear from your lipstick, these simple steps will make sure
your lips stay looking their best all night.
