Correct use of lipstick
Lipstick plays an important role in the makeup routine of women. Choosing the right color enhances the beauty of the face and makes the lips look attractive. However, sometimes lipsticks fade quickly or wear off after eating and drinking, necessitating frequent touchups. If you are also facing this problem, then you can consider trying a simple technique suggested by the makeup artist. American makeup artist and beauty educator Lisa Jay has shared a way to make lipstick last longer on her YouTube channel.
Preparation before applying lipstick
According to makeup artists, applying light loose powder on the lips before applying lipstick can improve the finishing of makeup. Follow the following steps to adopt this process.
Step 1: Cleaning lips
First clean the lips thoroughly. If lips are dry, apply a light moisturizer and remove excess oil with a tissue.
Step 2: Using Loose Powder
Take some loose powder on a clean makeup brush. Give the brush a gentle shake to remove excess powder. Then, apply powder gently on the lips.
Step 3: Use lip liner
Now take the lip liner of your choice and draw the outer line of the lips. If you want, you can also do light lining inside the lips, which will strengthen the base of the lipstick.
Step 4: Applying Lipstick
After this apply lipstick of your choice. For long-lasting makeup, it may be beneficial to choose a long-wear or transfer-resistant formula.
Step 5: Substitute Lip Gloss
If you like a shiny look, you can apply some lip gloss at the end. However, applying gloss can cause some lipsticks to transfer quickly.
Will lipstick not come off after eating and drinking?
This technique can improve the finish and staying power of lipstick, but it does not ensure that the lipstick will not fade throughout the day or even after eating. It depends on the formula of the lipstick, condition of the lips and eating habits. An important point: apply only cosmetic powder to the lips that is suitable for this use. Applying too much powder can make lips look dry. If lips are sensitive or already chapped, avoid applying powder. If you are worried about applying lipstick frequently, try this method with caution and choose a product that suits your skin.
