How To Keep Matte Lipstick Looking Fresh! Step 3 Is Very Important!
Glossy lips maybe on trend but the love for matte lips will never end. What not to love? It lasts long and any color can be bold but subtle. But even if they last long, matte lipsticks don't always feel good on the lips. It gets flaky and kind of heavy.
To ensure that you can wear matte lipsticks without that ugh feeling, check out these tips below:
1. Exfoliate
Even if your lips seem smooth, there’s bound to be some dead skin hanging around. Before applying a matte lipstick, exfoliating is a must. Grab your favorite lip scrub and get scrubbing. If you don’t, the matte formula will be sure to cling to any cracks and accentuate them, which is definitely a no-go.
2. Hydrate
While you’re probably thinking that matte and moisture don’t go hand-in-hand, the truth is that for best results, they should. After exfoliating, it’s extremely important to apply a lip-balm to add some hydration back to your lips. Allow the balm to sink it before applying your lipstick, this way there won’t be any shine ruining your matte look, and your lips will remain looking smooth all day long, too.
3. Prime
Typically, bleeding color occurs with creamy or glossy formulas, but when it does happen with a matte lipstick, it’s even more annoying to fix. To play it on the safe side, apply a lip primer directly on your lips before applying color to make sure it stays put.
4. Conceal
To make your matte lipstick really pop, dab a little bit of concealer on your lips to cancel out your natural lip color. This way, when you do apply your lipstick, it will show up bold and as true-to-color as can be.
5. Line
To keep things nice and neat, apply some lip liner along your lip line. Whether you use a shade that matches your lipstick or one that’s natural-hued, either will do. The lip liner will help further create a smooth base for your matte lipstick to lay on top of and keep it in place throughout the day.
