A matte lip can make for a bold statement, so keep the rest of your makeup simple and let your lips be the focus.
Matte lips are one of the few
beauty looks that we can be regard as infallible. Provided you have
found the right shade and formula to suit you, there is genuinely no way
you can go wrong.
One advantage of using matte lipstick is that its longevity means you'll want to find colours that you can live with all day.
When looking at how to wear matte lipstick, it’s important to create a certain balance with the rest of your makeup.
- Prepare your lips
Exfoliating
your lips before applying a matte lip is important because matte
lipstick isn’t as forgiving as gloss, so every imperfection will show.
You
can prepare a lip scrub at home: just mix some sugar with olive oil and
honey and gently massage your lips with it for couple of minutes, then
rinse; you lips will feel baby soft and smooth.
- Add moisture
While
you don’t want to turn the matte look into a glossy sheen, keep a
non-greasy lip balm on hand to ease dryness throughout the day.
- Start off by lining your lips
Apply
a lip liner all over your lips before applying your matte lipstick.
Using lip liner will help you get neat, clean and beautiful result. Find
a lip liner of the same shade as your lipstick and line your lips with
it, filling them in. This way you are creating a base for your matte
lipstick to glide on; the color will look a lot richer and more intense.
Lip liner will also help your lipstick last longer, according to beauty
and tips.
- Pick the right shade
If
you want to get the true shade of matte lipstick, apply a concealer all
over your lips prior to applying your lip colour. Whether you decide to
go for a bright red, flashy pink or nude matte lips, concealing them in
advance will help get very neat and beautiful result. “Too pale and
you'll look like a corpse; too dark and it will stain lips and wear
badly,” says Walsh, who prefers corals, reds and pinks for matte
lipstick.
- Apply second coat
If
you want your lip colour to last even longer, after applying a
lipstick, blot your lips with a tissue and reapply the lipstick again.
This tip will help add intensity to your lip colour and you will be
astonished how much longer your lipstick will last. Blotting your lips
with paper or tissue will help you avoid cakey and over-dry looking
lips, according to beauty and tips
