Do you find that dry, flaky lips stand out when you apply lipstick alone? Smooth lip makeup tips 💄

​

Every autumn and winter, my lips would easily dry out, causing me a lot of trouble with messy dead skin cells when applying matte lipsticks or tints. The color would often smudge if I applied a generous amount of lip balm before putting on the lipstick, but this method solved the problem.

Lip balm pack before starting makeup: Apply a thick layer of lip balm or Vaseline to your lips when you start your base makeup.

Gently wipe off with a tissue: After finishing your base and eye makeup, just before applying lipstick, lightly press and wipe away the oil on your lips with a tissue to neatly remove any loosened dead skin cells.

Cotton swab smudging: After applying the tint starting from the inside of the lips, gently spread it outwards with a cotton swab for a natural look without settling into wrinkles.

It's a subtle difference, but the longevity and color payoff become much cleaner, so be sure to give it a try!
