We all want to have some perfect lips when we apply the lipstick. However, sometimes the effect is not the one you expect. Far are those ideal lips from the ads, with a perfect tone and lines, with a flattering color and the perfect touch of lipstick. This happens because we make some mistakes that can completely ruin the effect we want for our lips.
Today we will talk about some of those mistakes that are frequent when applying lip makeup. It is not difficult, but if we want a professional finish we must take into account how professionals do it. So forget about what you've heard so far to take note of what you should do.
Not exfoliating or caring for your lips daily
The lips, like the rest of the skin, must be cared for. They should be exfoliated carefully to remove dead skin little by little. This can be done with a lip scrub or a toothbrush, massaging the area. Next, we must apply moisturizing balm so that the lips are perfect. The balm should be used several times a day, this way we will prevent the lips from chapping or drying out. This is something basic that we must always do, even if we are not going to use lipstick, so that our lips are in good condition.
Choosing a darker liner
In the 90s it was very fashionable to outline the lips with a darker tone. However, this is out of fashion and today it is not pretty. However, we must not forget the profilers. In this case, with the same tone as the lips. This helps the lipstick not come off so easily and we end up with a stained mouth and with a disastrous effect. In addition, in this way we can define the shape of the lips more easily, so that they are perfect and uniform. This liner can be used to fill in the lips so that the lipstick lasts longer.
Paint the lips on the outside
This is a trick that people with thin lips often use. But the truth is that we must be really good at doing it so that the effect is not weird or bad. It is better to outline by its natural line, or a little more outside, but never do it in an exaggerated way because it shows and is not pretty.
Do not remove excess lipstick
This is done in a gesture, with a paper, and it is something that we must always do. If we want to prevent our teeth from getting painted, the simplest trick is to suck a finger, so that the lipstick that has remained further in is removed and do not stain teeth. Then we can show a smile, since that is the moment when they usually get stained.
Choosing the wrong lip tone
This is a mistake that many women make. We must choose a tone that is flattering And sometimes this is difficult, because you have to take into account the color of the skin, eyes and other details such as having thin or thick lips. In general, pink tones look good on white skin, while orange and slightly stronger ones are ideal for medium and tanned skin. For its part, you should avoid dark tones on thin lips, as they tend to appear even thinner, and matte tones too, in this case, highlights are better, which add volume.
No touch-ups during the day
We cannot pretend that the lips are perfect all day, as the sticks are not infallible. That is why during the day we must do touch-ups with lipstick so that they remain intact.
