Matte lipsticks are chic and classy and are so hot right now. Lost on what a matte lipstick is? Matte lipsticks are lipsticks that have a drier finish as opposed to the glossy lipsticks.
Even though matte lipsticks are chic, have a long wearing capacity and can transform your your look to instant classy, they have their downsides. They have a chalky and uncomfortable texture that highlights every imperfection on your lips.
A common example is the Mac lipstick; Ruby Woo that is so hot at the moment and almost always sold out at most stores.
To combat the downsides of this type of lipstick, try out these tips;
1. Exfoliate:
Cracks, flaking and dryness are highlighted by a matte lip colour. To make sure your lips are free from these, it’s advisable to use a lip scrub on your lips to achieve smooth and flake free lips. You can purchase a lip scrub at a beauty store.
2. Moisturize:
The aim is to prevent your lips from drying out and giving you a nice finish, no one is trying to convert it to a glossy lipstick. After exfoliating, apply a dab of non-greasy lip balm to your lips before the application of your lip colour.
3. Use a lip brush:
It is advisable to fill your lips with the bullet of the lipstick then use a lip brush to fill in the edges and add definition.
4. Blot:
Excess matte lip colour can look caked. Use a blotting paper instead of a tissue as the latter can leave off particles and ruin your perfect application.
