Life-Changing Hacks For Matte Lipstick Every Lady
Should Know

• Unlike gloss and glossy lipsticks, matte lipstick
  has its own unique style to brighten your day.
  Matte lipstick, on the other hand, is hardly a
  low-maintenance makeup, as every beauty
  enthusiast knows. It's not something you can just
  put on and go. But the secret of learning how to
  make your appearance beautiful lies between the
  dried wax feeling and the magnificent initial
  glance.
• These lipstick tips can come in handy if you're
  curious about how to make your matte lipstick
  stay longer or how to protect your matte lipstick
  from drying out your lips.

• 1. Moisturize your lips
• This lipstick tip will come in handy if you're
  wondering how to protect your matte lipstick or
  even liquid matte lipstick from drying out your
  lips. Keep your lips moistened even before
  applying the matte lipstick to prevent them from
  drying out.
• Apply a lip balm before applying the matte
  lipstick to keep your lips nourished. Allow a few
  minutes for it to sink in, and you will be ready
  to go.
• 2. Do not use lip brushes
• When it relates to matte, don't fool with lip
  brushes. Even the most wonderful matte lipstick
  formula will seem streaky and uneven when applied
  with a lip brush. For optimal precision, apply
  your color right from the bullet to your primed
  lips, if youre not using a liquid matte
  lipstick.
• Word of advice If your lipstick has run dry, use
  a hairdryer to warm it up a bit before applying
  it. This will slightly melt the lipstick, making
  it much simpler to slide around your lips evenly.
• 3. Use a lip-liner
• Because matte lipstick is so pigmented, it's easy
  to get color outside of your lip line. As a
  result, matte lipstick needs a precise outline.
  And the easiest way to do this is to apply your
  color first, then line your lips with a lip liner
  in a complementary hue. Because of the order
  reversal, you won't have to fuss about making
  your outline quite right.

• 4. Tissue and powder combo
• Place a piece of tissue on your lips and apply
  translucent powder on top of it to ensure your
  matte lipstick stays in for as long as possible.
  Only a small amount of powder can pass through
  the tissue and land on your lipstick. The
  translucent powder, like your face makeup, has a
  lot of lasting power. You don't want to apply it
  on your lips directly since it will make them
  seem cakey.
• 5. Use a primer
• Because your lips aren't generally one tone,
  unless you use a primer to achieve an equal tone,
  your lips won't appear exactly like the lipstick
  they'll be a little more muted. Before applying
  liner or lipstick, coat your lips with primer to
  keep the color vivid and the formula from
  spreading. This works perfectly with pink
  lipstick.
• 6. Use an exfoliator
• To avoid a cakey appearance, always scrub your
  lips before using matte lipstick. Matte lipsticks
  settle like a painting on the lips, thus
  exfoliating your lips prior to applying them is
  essential. Simply use your fingers to scrub your
  lips with a tiny bit of your favorite scrub.
• 7. Use Vaseline to remove your matte lipstick
• Matte lipstick can be tricky to get rid of at
  times especially if it's a waterproof matte
  liquid lipstick. Rather than wasting money on
  overpriced makeup removers, spread a thick,
  odorless moisturizer onto your (closed) lips and
  clean it away with a tissue. Not only will the
  lip color fade nicely, but there will be no
  stainingand your lips will feel incredible. In
  my situation, I always use Vaseline because it is
  not only inexpensive but also easily removes
  makeup.
