Putting lipstick on is not as easy as you might think. In fact, if you wish to wear it long and bright, you need to know a few common mistakes many women do. That might help you out understand how to wear a lipstick right and so – improve your looks radically as well.
- Forgetting to hydrate
So, one of the firsts mistakes you might do is to forget about the crucial hydrating ritual every time you are planning to apply lipstick. Well hydrated lips will be a lot easier to maintain, and lipsticks will look a lot smoother then applied as well. Moreover, some lipsticks dry out your lips, and it is crucial to hydrate them at least after wearing lipstick too. So a simple lip balsam near your night table is vital to have.
- Wearing wrong shade
Another big mistake is surely not choosing the right shade of the lipstick. The best way to get the rights shade is to look at your skin complexion, or even to your eye colour. Basic rule would be trying to match your skin undertones with lipstick's. Or do the opposite and match eye colours with the opposite colour of a lipstick. For example, if you have green eyes – purple toned lipsticks will be perfect for you.
- Not considering your lips shape
You can choose a perfect lipstick colour, but you can still miss the shot if you haven’t thought your lips shape along with that. Rules are simple in this case: dark lipstick makes lips appear thinner while lighter lipsticks can make lips look fuller. So if you were gifted with thin lips stay away from dark shaded lipsticks. And if you are trying to avoid making your lips look even bigger than they are – better pick darker shades nude lipsticks.
- Not using a lip liner
Lip liners were invented for a reason. And, in fact, there are a few reasons! First, a good lip liner will keep lipstick away from bleeding outside of your lips. Second, if you apply it all over your lipstick – it will last much longer. And finally, you can make your lip game a lot better if you use a slightly darker shade to create more visual interested and fuller lips.
- Not having a lipstick in your purse
Finally, you are making a big mistake if you leave your home without a lipstick in your purse. First of all, you can’t predict whether or not it will stay in shape during the day. Also, every time you eat or drink something, more and more lipstick removes from your lips. So you are taking a risk of walking with weirdly coloured lips. Just by having one extra lipstick in your purse you will always be ready to fix things up and enjoy being a woman all day long!
