The advent of liquid lipstick was a long-awaited dream for many.
It’s only been within the last decade that liquid lipstick has reached mainstream popularity.
Finally, we were able to apply lip color and have it actually stay on (viaGlamour).
Like with any makeup in an oversaturated market,some lipsticks just stand outabove the rest.
Yet liquid lipstick isn’t the easiest product to apply.
Here’s how to ensure you do it right each time.
It’s best to start withexfoliating your lips before you put on any lipstick.
Store-bought exfoliators often contain moisturizing against like shea butter and coconut oil to help rehydrate (viaCosmopolitan).
confirm to apply color correctly
Start by outlining your lips.
This will help prevent the color from bleeding to the skin outside your lips (viaL’Oreal).
Begin on the top and line according to your natural lip line.
Continue to do the same on the bottom.
Then apply a thin layer of liquid lipliner across your lips.
Any more than that will cause smudges and won’t stay on as long as it should.
Throughout the app, whatever you do, don’t rub your lips together.
Makeup artist Andre Sarmiento tellsRefinery 29, “Liquid lipsticks are kind of like paints.
You have time to achieve great system, but once they dry, they become harder to blend.”
