Matte lipsticks have not gone out of fashion for a long time. Their peculiarity is that they provide absolutely no shine. Lips “dressed” in such lipstick look very sensual and attractive, especially if deep burgundy tones were chosen for makeup. Needless to say, the demand for this type of decorative cosmetics is very high. But it’s not enough to just buy matte lipstick—you also need to know how to use it. Do you know how to do this? If not, we will tell you!
How to properly paint your lips with matte lipsticks
Unlike glosses and creamier textures, matte lipsticks are considered more complex and problematic to use. Many girls simply do not know the rules and tricks that would make application easier and increase durability. But in reality, everything is not so difficult.
To beautifully apply matte lipstick to your lips, you must first prepare your skin with a scrub. Then apply the lipstick itself, having first outlined the outline with a pencil.If everything is done correctly, the need to update your makeup during the day will disappear completely. The coating will be bright and durable - one that does not leave marks on clothes, dishes and skin when kissed.
Detailed instructions: how to paint lips with matte lipstick
So, you have purchased the shade of your dreams, which is great for both daytime and evening makeup. All that remains is to apply it. But before that, it is important not to forget to prepare the skin of your lips. To do this you need to use a scrub. It can be made from scrap materials (sugar and sunflower oil) or you can buy a ready-made mixture.
You should not be too zealous so as not to scratch and cause redness. It is enough to lightly massage your lips and this is enough to achieve smoothness. In addition, scrubbing will improve blood circulation in the lips, which will make them more voluminous.
After the preparatory work is completed, you need to do the following:
- Apply a moisturizing balm to your lips. This is necessary to prevent the skin from drying out.
- Trace the outline with a pencil. You should start from the center of the upper lip towards the corners. It is important that the line does not protrude beyond the boundaries. The color of the liner may be a little darker or the same.
- Fill in the outline. It is especially convenient if the lipstick has a liquid release form. It can be applied using a brush or applicator. But you can cope with a similar task with more familiar options.
To make the coating more durable, you can use a special primer, ordinary powder, or foundation. A small amount of product should be applied to the lips before applying lipstick.
If you notice that the skin on your lips begins to dry out after using matte lipstick, buy a special vitamin balm. It can be used as a base or applied after removing the remaining matte lipstick. The components included in the composition will help make the skin more hydrated and healthy, and also avoid the feeling of tightness.
