A bold lip color is one of the most dramatic makeup looks.It can be difficult to get your lips to be as bright as possible.The best way to get the most opaque color for your lips is to layer several lip products.You can use this technique with any shade you want so you always have a perfect lip.
Step 1: You need to scrub your lips.
Every dry flake in your lips is emphasized when you wear a bold lip color.If you have dry skin on your lips, use a lip scrub to remove it.Rub it in and wipe it away with a damp cloth.You can make your own lip scrub from the ingredients in your kitchen.If you want to get rid of dead skin on your lips, rub olive oil and sugar over them.You can gently rub the toothbrush over your lips with a wet toothbrush.
Step 2: Put on a lip balm.
If you want your lips to be soft and smooth for your lip color application, you need to use a lip balm.Allow the balm to sink into your lips for 5 to 10 minutes to ensure that it is fully penetrated before moving on to your lip color.After you allow the lip balm to sit on your lips for a while, wipe away any excess with a tissue.Excess balm on your lips can cause your lip color to change when you apply it.
Step 3: You can use a lip primer.
It's important to use a lip primer if you want your color to stay in place all day.It is a clear balm-like product that provides a sticky base for the lip color to grab onto and prevents the lipstick from bleeding outside your lip line.Before filling your lips, apply a thin layer.You can use a little primer if you don't have a lip primer.To keep your lipstick from bleeding, apply it around the outside of your lip line.
Step 4: Attach a lip liner to your lips.
Lining your lips before applying your lip color helps create a sharp edge and prevents feathering along the lip line.To create an extra layer of color, you should fill in your lips with a liner.You can use a lip liner that matches the lip stain and lipstick you plan to use.It will add more depth to the color.You don't have to match your lip stain and lipstick exactly.It will work if it is in the same color family.You can use a nude liner that matches your natural lip color if you can't find a liner similar to the one you're going for.
Step 5: Liquid lipstick or lip stain can be used.
A lip stain or liquid lipstick can be used to create a base for your lip color.These products are very long-wearing and will stay on your lips even after a creamy lipstick wears off.Allow the lipstick to dry for 3 to 5 minutes before applying it to your lips.You should choose a lip stain or liquid lipstick that is similar to the lipstick color that you plan to wear.If you want to make sure your lipstick is completely dry, blot your lips with a tissue.
Step 6: The lipstick should be applied from the tube.
If you apply your lipstick directly from the tube, you will get the most color.Put a thin, even layer of lipstick over your lips.If you feel like you can't get a clean edge when applying lipstick from the tube, use a lip brush to apply the color to the edge of your lips.If you want to blend the areas together, use the tube for the center part of your lips.
Step 7: Blot your lips.
If you want to help the lipstick set, you need to remove any excess from your lips.Put a tissue between your lips.Let the lipstick sit for 2 to 3 minutes to fully set.If you have blotting papers that are meant for blotting oil from the face, you can use them to smudge your lips.They are particularly effective because they remove the protective layer from your lips.
Step 8: Put powder on your lips.
With your finger, apply a light layer of translucent setting powder to your lips.It will provide a base for the next layer of lipstick to stick to, and help keep your lip color in place all day.You can skip this step if you don't mind making your lip color last all day.
Step 9: Apply another layer of lipstick.
You can apply lipstick directly from the tube after you have powdered your lips.You don't have to worry about your lipstick being smeared if you take another tissue to blot your lips.The blotting and lipstick application process can be repeated if your lip color isn't as bright as you'd like.Don't apply too many layers of lipstick or your lips will look cakey.Three layers is usually enough.
Step 10: Take care of your lip line.
If you want to match your skin tone along the outside edge of your lips, you need to use a small, precise concealer brush.That will help make your lips look good.
