So, you want to try go big in the lipstick department? You’re in the right place. We have a few tried and true tips up our sleeves.
- Lip facials
Bright lipsticks are cool, but only if your lips are smooth. DIY your own lip scrub (try half coconut or olive oil, half brown sugar) and buff it on your lips with a toothbrush (or even just your finger will do), then slather on balm or vaseline.
2. Prime with powder
Tap the translucent kind of first to prevent creasing. It doesn’t alter the color like traditional lip primers usually do.
3. Blot…a lot
After applying, lightly press a tissue on your lips to pick up any excess oil, wait a few seconds, and apply one more coat. The second layer sticks like glue.
4. Be mindful
Be very aware of your outfit (no clashing colors) and avoid face-to-face contact.
5. Touch up with concealer
Use that lip brush you’ve never touched. Dip it in concealer and trace it around the edges of your lips after eating to bring back the sharpness of your lipstick.
6. Eat Awkwardly
You might have to stick your lips out like a horse when you’re eating, but that’s okay. Take big bites if your have to so your food doesn’t touch your lips. It’s the only way you can eat and keep your lipstick on point too.
