HOW TO: Bright, Long Lasting Lips
Bright bold lips can be semi-easy to achieve, but to achieve a long lasting look, that's a whole different story. A pop of color is nice, but if you've tried this trend before, you know from experience that the color fades fast and the intensity disapears into a light tint, almost making the lip color invisible.
But fret not! We're going to tell you how to get that beautiful lip color, for more than 2 hours, for more than 4, but for a long lasting 6-8 hours!
- Make sure your lips are soft and smooth. You can use a gentle lib scub or the tiny bristols from a baby toothbrush to exfoliate.
- Apply a moisturizing lip balm -- not a gloss.
- Apply a lip primer to help the color go on smoothly. Primer will help keep your color on throughout the day and helps the color go on evenly.
- Line your lips with the color you choose to wear.
- Fill in the lips with that same lip liner
- Finally, take the actual lipstick color and apply it to your lip, either straight from the tube or with a lip brush.
- Throw your lip liner and lipstick in your bag, just in case you need to touch up during the day!
