Let’s be honest – a gorgeous lipstick can change your overall makeup look. We know that you have many lipsticks in your makeup bag but do you know how to apply it perfectly? These awesome tricks will definitely help you to apply your lipstick as a pro and your lips will look luscious and gorgeous.
1. If you have dry lips, use an old mascara wand to do a full lip scrub before applying lipstick. Apply some lip balm before you do the lip scrub.
2. To avoid having lipstick on your teeth – put your index finger between your lips and then pull it out. This ways the excess lipstick will stay on your finger and not your teeth.
3. Use your favorite pink lipstick as a blush. Apply some on your cheeks and simply smudge it with your fingers.
4. Make your own lipstick using eye shadow. Mix some of your favorite eye shadow with some balm and Voila! You get a new lipstick!
5. Use a concealer brush to precisely apply your lipstick.
6. You can also use an eye shadow brush to apply your lipstick.
7. Use a translucent powder to turn your ordinary lipstick into a matte lipstick. Apply your lipstick, put a paper tissue over your mouth and use a brush to apply the translucent powder over the tissue.
8. If your lips are naturally pink, apply concealer all over your lips before applying lipstick. Having pink lips can visually change the original color of the lipstick.
9. You can change the shape of your lips. Apply concealer all over your lips and use a lip pencil to outline the shape that you want to achieve. Apply your lipstick after you have finished the outline and you’ll have fuller lips!
10. To make your lipstick last longer – apply your lipstick, use a paper tissue to remove the excess lipstick and then apply another layer of lipstick.
