For those whose lip balm wears off only in the center, try changing where you apply it.

You probably often go out with your lipstick beautifully applied, but when you look in the mirror after having a cup of coffee, the center of your lips is completely worn off, right?

I also thought it was because my lip product was bad, so I kept looking for products with good staying power, but surprisingly, there was quite a big difference after I changed the way I applied lip balm.

In the past, I used to apply a generous amount of lip balm to my entire lips right before applying lipstick.

However, when I do this, while my lips become moisturized, the lipstick doesn't adhere properly to the skin, and it disappears quickly, especially from areas with a lot of friction like the center of the lips.

So now, I apply a thin layer of lip balm first when I start my makeup.

After applying it to the entire lips, let it absorb fully while you do other makeup, and just before applying lip products, lightly press your lips with a tissue to remove only the excess oil.

And instead of applying lipstick thickly to the center of the lips all at once, fill in the outer edges thinly first, and then lightly apply a touch to the center last.

The really helpful tip here is Do not rub your lips hard after applying lipstick. It was.

In the past, I kept rubbing to mix it naturally, but then the product clumped in the center and actually wiped off quickly.

Instead, it looks much neater if you lightly press your lips together just once and then gently tap the edges with your finger.

Since I changed it like this, the instances where the center of my lips looks empty even after eating have definitely decreased.

If you were disappointed with the lipstick's longevity, rather than changing the product... Apply lip balm beforehand, wipe off excess oil, and apply lipstick thinly. Try doing just these three things.

It is a more versatile method than you might think because you can follow along immediately with the lip products you use every day.
