We will provide you with the tricks and tips to make it so much easier to apply your lipstick. Have you ever wondered how do you make your lips fuller? What is the trick to make your lipstick stay on longer?

PREPARING YOUR LIPS.

When beginning to learn the technique of how to apply your lipstick perfectly, you need to prepare your lips.

 Lips need to be in pristine condition, and a great way to achieve this is to take a soft toothbrush and go gently over your lips. This will remove any rough or any loose skin. When you find your lips are chapped, you need to get your lips in good condition; if you do not, you will end up with your lipstick peeling and looking rough. So, make sure all loose skin is gone once you have removed the excess loose skin of your lips.

Next, you will apply moisturizer to your face making sure you also cover your lips. You do not want to use lip balm because it will interfere with the application of your lipstick. You will gently massage the moisturizer into your lips you can use your finger. Taking the time to massage the moisture into your lips will guarantee to penetrate the lips making sure that the tissue deep in your lips is also hydrated. Make sure you take the time to moisturize lips because it will help to prevent chapped lips.

APPLICATION OF LIP PRIMER.

The professionals have found that the best primer for priming your lips is to use a foundation for your base. Foundations are full of helpful benefits. We have seen that using foundation as a primer will allow lipstick to stay on longer; when applying your lipstick, it will come out evenly, giving you perfect luscious lips. A bounce to using foundation as lip primer will prevent color changes during hot weather, and the pigment can separate in the heat.

LIP PRIMER.

You can purchase lip primers; the lip primers are sold separately from the lipstick. The lip primer is applied to your lips as a base instead of foundation.  You will pick one or the other whether you choose to use foundation as a lip primer or you can choose to use a lip primer. Lip primers are sold separately from lipstick, so you need to match the lipstick to go on top of the lip primer.  

The other difference between using foundation as a lip primer is that you can wear any lipstick color, but when choosing to use a lip prime, you will need to pair it with your lipstick. It can be a little challenging to find matching lip primer and lipstick. The plus of choosing a lip primer is you will be able to define the shape of your lips. The lip liner will also keep your lipstick from “bleeding or feathering.” Your lips are constructed with a natural white contour.

When applying your lip primer, you will use this line as your guide. Feel free to apply in any direction, whether from right to left, or left to right, or corner to the center. You want to make sure that you apply both sides accurately.

You will always want to keep your lip liner sharpened before every use to keep it sanitary. The other reason for keeping your lip pencil sharp is to make sure it will give flawless defined lines.

POWDERING YOUR LIP LINER.

Adding a light feathering of translucent powder will give your lips extra-long wear power.  The best way to apply a translucent powder is with a cotton pad. For application, pick up a tiny amount of loose translucent powder with the cotton pad and wrap the pad around your middle finger and press it against the back of your hand to remove any excess translucent powder. Then you will carefully roll it over your lip liner. You only want a light dusting it lightly. Less is more, or you could end up with your lip liner will look blurred.

APPLICATION of LIPSTICK.

You will want to apply your lipstick with a lip brush for the best accuracy. The brush will give an even more precise application than if you apply with the lipstick tub when applying with the lip brush allowing your lipstick to stay on longer. When applying the lipstick, it should cover your lip liner.

When you have applied your first coat of lipstick, you will need to blot with a cosmetic tissue once it has dried, then add a second coat of your lipstick and blot one more time. Layering your lipstick will ensure it will last longer.

The last thing to do is blot your lips one more time and then add your lipstick as a finishing touch.

RECAP.

1. Exfoliate and hydrate your lips.

2. Color correct as needed.

3. Trace and fill lips with liner.

4. Work with your lip shape.

5. Use a lip brush for a precise line.

6. Blot and set your color.

When applying lipstick to the corners of your mouth, you will begin at the center of your lips and move outward toward the corners. If you start at the corners of your mouth, you can end up drawing outside the lines, which won’t make for a perfectly beautiful look. Then starting at the center and moving out will give you more control.

How do you lift the corners of your mouth? You will want to avoid sharp defining the outer corners of the lower lip. The lip line can be filled in accordingly, but the focus should be on the outer corners of the lower lip line should be minimized by adding concealer and drawing the lower lip line up.
