Step-By-Step Application
- Once your face is clean and skin- well moisturized, be ready to highlight the best feature of your face – the lips.
- Keep your eye makeup neutral as we will be painting the lips with this vibrant aqua lip shade.
- Exfoliate your lips. Now, moisturize your lips by applying lip balm and keep rubbing it till the lip balm is absorbed.
- Take a lip brush and check if it’s clean and dry.
- Check the lip-line. If you have a clear lip-line, you are lucky enough and if you don’t you can use a matching lip-liner to give definition. One can also apply a liquid concealer around the lips, using a very thin brush. Read How to apply lip concealer.
- The lip liner should be two tones darker than the lipstick. It’ll create an illusion of plumper lips.
- Run the brush onto the lipstick from side to side, so that it has the right amount and enough lipstick ready for application.
- Now, start using the brush on the lips moving from the inside to the outside. Outward movement helps have the right amount be at the right point on the lips.
- If you want the lipstick to stay, blot the lips. The best way to blot your lips is to take a single ply tissue and place it on the lips. Apply powder on it. This might get the shade toned down a bit, but will make your lipstick stay for long.
- Next, apply a second coat of lip color for uniformity and vibrancy.
- Touch the lips to each other and your lipstick application is complete.
- You can re-touch or re-apply the lipstick as and when required.
Tips:
- For a precise application of lipstick, use a lip brush.
- At the beginning, the lips can even be primed with foundation or powder.
- If you have some amount of lipstick, outside your lips few drops of makeup remover on cotton swab is your best deal to remove the flaws.
