Do you struggle with your lipstick wearing off too quickly? Don’t worry, you’re not alone! Many people find it frustrating when their lipstick fades or smudges after just a few hours. But with a few simple tips and tricks, you can make your lipstick last all day. Here are some of the best ways to do it:
Prep your lips
Before you apply lipstick, make sure your lips are in good condition. Exfoliate your lips with a gentle scrub to remove any dead skin and apply a lip balm to moisturise them. Wait a few minutes for the balm to absorb before applying your lipstick.
Use a lip liner
Using a lip liner can help your lipstick stay in place by creating a barrier between your lips and the outside world. Choose a liner that matches your lipstick shade or use a clear liner. Start at the centre of your lips and draw a line outwards, following the natural contours of your lips.
Apply lipstick with a brush
Using a lipstick brush instead of applying straight from the tube can help you control the amount of product you apply and create a more even finish. Apply the lipstick in thin layers, starting at the centre of your lips and working outwards.
Blot and powder
After applying your first layer of lipstick, blot your lips with a tissue to remove any excess. Then, lightly dust your lips with a translucent powder. This will help set the lipstick and prevent it from smudging or transferring.
Reapply throughout the day
Even if you follow all of these steps, your lipstick may still wear off over time. To keep it looking fresh, reapply your lipstick every few hours or as needed. Use a tissue to blot your lips before applying a fresh layer.
