Step 1: Prepping The Lips
Always begin with prepping your lips by applying a lip balm/lip conditioner. This will make your lips soft and supple, and the application becomes effortless thereafter. Next, apply a foundation/concealer on the lips, and set it with compact or setting powder to create a flawless makeup base. This technique also helps to keep the lipstick intact.
Step 2: Use A Lip Pencil To Line Your Lips
Start lining the lips with a lip pencil. Once you have outlined the lips, fill the entire lip area with the same lip pencil. Now, swipe the lipstick over your lips. In this tutorial, I have used gorgeous bright red lipstick in a matte finish. Place a tissue on your lips and dab some loose powder on top of the tissue with a small fluffy brush after applying lipstick, as shown in the picture. Let it rest for 5 to 10 seconds. I have used a transparent finishing powder here.
Step 3: Blending The Powder
Now, take a small flat brush and slowly sweep the powder all over the lips, till you get the desired matte finish, and then blend.
Step 4: Blotting The Excess Lipstick
Once you are done with Step 3, take a clean tissue paper and fold it into half. Place the tissue between your upper and lower lips. Blot the excess lipstick with the tissue as shown in the image.
Don’t worry about this technique making your lipstick appear uneven or faded. You can fix it later by reapplying it.
Step 5: The Final Touch Up
If you are a lip gloss fan, then swipe a coat of lip gloss just on the center of the lips. This will prevent the bleeding of the color around the lip area. Remember, matte lipsticks last longer than gloss on your lips.
