However, the perfect application of this cosmetic product is not an easy thing for all women. Sometimes it’s hard to find the right lipstick because of the impressive selection on the market. You have to find the right shade and texture, but also know how to apply it perfectly on the lips and blend it to avoid smudges and ensure a long hold. But do not fear! With a little practice and these few tips to become a professional lipstick, you will definitely succeed.
Check your lips
Before applying lipstick, it is very important to always check the condition of your lips. Do they have cuts or rough edges? Are they well hydrated? Dry, chapped and cracked lips are very difficult to make up. In addition, the rendering of your lips once made up can be very unsightly if you don’t take care of them beforehand. Be sure to scrub your lips once a week and use a repairing lip balm if your lips are too dry to apply lipstick. We recommend using a SPF lip stick to protect your lips from the sun.
Use a lip liner before applying lipstick
The lip pencil helps you shape your lips and outline your mouth. In addition, it increases the holding time of the lipstick by preventing it from slipping into the ridges and fine lines of the mouth. The lip pencils are available in a wide variety of colors, making it easy to match the lipstick you want to wear. With a lip pencil, you can easily and precisely define the contour of your lips, making applying lipstick easier and more precise for a sharper look.
Hold lipstick correctly
For a professional makeup artist application, you need to know how to hold the lipstick properly while you apply it to your lips. Make sure the lipstick touches the center of your upper lip. If not, then you are holding the lipstick in the wrong way. To avoid this, turn the lipstick and place the bevelled surface against the center of the lower lip. This way, you can apply the lipstick perfectly.
Use a sponge to apply your lipstick
Sponges are great cosmetic tools to help you apply your lipstick to perfection. As for your complexion, you can dedicate a beauty blender to the laying of your lipstick. You can use this sponge to coat your lips with product, tinted or not, directly on your lips, but also to blend in to give it a more natural matte appearance. You can also use a sponge to apply a little lipstick as a light, natural blush, and perfectly match the color of your lips.
Remember the corners of your mouth
The corners of your mouth are also very important when applying lipstick. If you forget to apply lipstick to the corners of your mouth, your lips will look smaller and smaller. In addition, you will notice gaps when you speak, which will give a botched effect to your make-up. To avoid this, try to apply your lipstick to the corners of your mouth in a light and gentle way so as not to overflow, then blend it with your finger or sponge so that the touch-up looks natural.
Use a blending brush to finish your look
After applying your favorite lipstick and blending it, you need to finish your look with a blending brush for a perfect result. You can use a blending brush to smooth your lipstick and give it a naturally flawless look. With a blending brush, you can easily make your lipstick durable and more discreet and camouflage small imperfections, such as wrinkles around your lips.
Try different brands and find the one you prefer
There are many brands that make lipsticks. Some are high end while others are more affordable. You can try different brands until you find the one you like the most. It is not necessarily necessary to invest a lot of money in a lipstick. However, be sure to opt for a brand known on the market for the quality of its products and composition.
This will prevent any type of skin allergy or lip dryness. Vegan and organic products can be excellent alternatives for makeup. However, these products may have a shorter lifespan than those designed with chemicals. Finally, it is important to find the right shade for your lips. You need to choose a color that matches your complexion perfectly and matches your style and personality. Bright colors or wiser, anything is possible if the heart tells you.
By following these tips to become a lipstick professional, you will have less apprehension when applying, even if you are a beginner. In addition, you will optimize the holding of your makeup and know how to adapt it to any type of events and circumstances. Lipstick is one of the must-haves in beauty and comes back in force after months of wearing the mandatory mask. Then you must reapply it!
