CARE, TIPS AND PRECAUTION FOR APPLYING PRETTY LIPSTICK..!

Important Tips And Precautions

These are a few extra tips and tricks that you can keep in mind if you are a lipstick enthusiast.

·       Never use a dark liner with a light shade of lipstick – it will ruin your entire look.

·       Always soften the lines formed by the lip liner by blending them out properly either by using your fingertips or a Q-tip.

·       Get to understand your lips and also what formulations work best for you as this differs from person to person.

·       Always blot using a tissue to remove excess product and even out the texture.

·       To turn a glossy lip color into a matte finish, dust on some translucent loose powder on the lips and let it rest for few seconds. Dab them with a flat or a fluffy brush to even the powder out.

·       When applying lipstick with a brush, use an angular brush. This helps in providing a more defined look.

·       If you wish to follow the pastel lip trend and do not want to shell out any more money on buying them, you can make your own pastel color (DIY). Use a white pencil all over the lips and pat any of your favorite lip colors onto the lips. There you go!

·       To achieve plumper looking lips, apply some cream-based highlighter onto the Cupid’s bow.

·       Always ensure that you have no lipstick marks on your teeth as this tends to happen when you wear a creamy, transferable lipstick.

·       Never use expired lip products as these can cause allergic reactions and other health issues.

·       Avoid trying out tester lipsticks at stores as it’s been on many lips and it can be a cause for the spread of infections.

·       Never apply lipstick on chapped lips, it will only accentuate all your cracks and lines.

How To Remove Lipstick?

   There are several ways to remove lipstick. Ideally, you can use a makeup remover that you will find in abundance in the market. I personally prefer Neutrogena’s Eye and Lip makeup remover as it does the job effectively, yet gently and Neutrogena’s products are very reliable.

     We must be gentle with our lips, and while removing lipstick, we must always ensure that we don’t damage or dry out our pout in the process.

Method 1: Apply Vaseline Petroleum Jelly

      Just dab some petroleum jelly onto your lips just like any lip balm, let it sit for two minutes. Use a wet wipe or a cotton ball to wipe away the lipstick. This also works for your liquid mattes!

Method 2: Use Coconut Oil/ Olive Oil

   Slather on some coconut oil onto your lips which is nourishing and also one of the most natural makeup removing agents out there. With the help of a cotton ball, wipe away any product on your lips.

Method 3: Lotion

     If you have nothing else available, you can try using some of your face lotion or body lotion and gently massage it onto your lips. After letting it sit for a couple of minutes, wipe it off with a cotton ball.
