This might sound funny but some ladies don’t know how to apply their lipstick perfectly!
Even if you’ve found the most gorgeous shade of lipstick, applying it perfectly can seem downright impossible.
Below are simple ways you can apply your lipstick perfectly every single time.
- Exfoliate and hydrate lips
Exfoliate and moisturize your lips with a lip balm or lip primer before applying your lipstick to avoid having uneven, flakey, or patchy lips.
- Apply the right colour
Select the right colour and apply. For darker lips, experts have advised that you start by applying
a lighter foundation powder to mute out the color of your lips to mute the colour of your lips.
After that, you can apply the colour of your choice.
- Trace and fill lips with liner
Apply a lip liner around your lip line before applying your lipstick. If you don’t have a lip liner, an eye pencil comes in handy.k
- Layer on lipstick from the center outward
When applying lipstick place the lipstick in the middle of your lips and work outward.
If you have trouble making your lipstick look even, try drawing an “X” on the cupid’s bow with your lip liner.
This will help you get a well-defined cupid’s bow ensuring that neither side ends up lopsided.
- Use a lip brush
To achieve a flawless application, you need a sharp lip pencil and pointed lipstick.
Some people, however, may feel more comfortable applying lipstick with a lip brush, as it gives a more precise and even application.
- Blot and set your color
Once your lips are perfectly coated, blot both lips at the end.
This can be achieved gently squeezing both lips together over a tissue or napkin to remove excess product and prevent slippage.
