Lipstick is an everlasting beauty trend that compliments every woman. Whether you carry a minimal make-up look to work or a glam make-up look for any function using the right shade of lipstick can make the face glowy. Wearing a favorite shade of lipstick sets everything right. Be it any outfit, lipstick adds the final touch to every type of look you are carrying. A woman and her endless love for different lipstick shades are known to everyone and we can never stop adding new colors to our collection.

For all lipstick lovers out there who are trying to balance the art of wearing lipstick, we have got the easiest beauty tips that are going to help everyone.

Step by Step Guide to Apply Lipstick Perfectly

Prep Your Lips

While applying lipstick the right way, we often skip the lip care regime. Exfoliating lips is a very important step that helps to avoid dry patches, lipstick peeling off, and cracked lines. You can hydrate the lips with a lip balm to make the lips soft and supple.

Apply the Base on the Lips

Preparing a base for applying lipstick is equally important. Applying a foundation on the nude lips creates a smooth and even texture for the lipstick to glide perfectly. Applying some concealer or face foundation that matches your skin tone will save the lipstick from settling into fine lines.

Outline the Lips

Lips look fuller and defined if you outline them before applying lip color. To apply lipstick with precision, outline the lips with lip liner. Using a lip liner that matches the color of lipstick makes lipstick look more defined and well-shaped.

Apply Lipstick

Pick your favorite shade of lipstick that looks great on you and start applying evenly on the lips. Begin from the center of the lips and swipe the lipstick all over the lower and upper lips till both the lips are filled with color. Avoid applying strokes more than required as it can make the lips look cakey or lip color may look smudged.

Blot the Lips

Blot the lips to avoid lipstick getting smeared and to make it last longer. For blotting, take a tissue paper and put it in between your lips, and squeeze both the lips. This hack takes off the extra lipstick from the lips giving a pigmented look.

Tips to Consider if You Love Applying Lipstick

• If you have applied liquid lipstick, you can give your lips a more defined look with the help of matte lipstick. Apply a coat of matte lipstick on the layer of already applied lipstick. You are free to choose the same color shade or some other shade that contrasts with the lip color.

• In case you love pouty lips then apply a light shade of lipstick on the center of the upper and lower lips.

• If you are using creamy lipstick then try to use the right brush for the smooth application of lipsticks. However, if you are applying matte lipstick then try to apply it directly without any brush for the finished look.

• For making your lips look fuller and crisper, you can apply foundation on the bare lips and then apply the lipstick of your choice. This will brighten up your lips like never before.

• Whenever you are out buying lipstick, then don’t try to swatch lipsticks on your hands because the skin tone and the color of the lips are different.

• If you are applying lip liner before applying lipstick then ensure their color shades match. Using the lip color that does not match the lip liner will not deliver the exact shade you expect.

Now that you know the skill to apply the lipstick perfectly, wear your favorite shade and make everyone turn their heads!
