How to Prepare your Lips for Lipstick
Hey girls, Im going to explain the very basic routine of how I prepare my lips to keep them smooth, moisturized and perfect for lipstick applying!
What you need:
moisturizer/balm,
lip plump,
lip sugar scrub
lipstick/gloss
1. Exfoliate
This can be done through either a lip sugar scrub (I used Santa's Lip Scrub by Lush Cosmetics) OR you can wet a toothbrush and lightly brush across skin.
2. Moisturize
This step is to keep your lips from drying out and feeling sticky. I used a local Tasmanian Lavender lip balm. I highly recommend Lucas' Papaw Ointment.
3. Plump
You may miss this step if you dont have a lip plump but I like using my Napoleon Perdis Love Bite lip plump as the capsicum pepper, cinnamon & menthol stimulate and swell my lips making them fuller and more appealing.
4. Apply Colour!
Lastly apply your desired lipstick/gloss with a lip brush.... or just straight from the tube is cool too :)
Here im using Lush's 'It Started With A Kiss' lip tint. The sweet appley smell is divine.
It can help to use a tissue or cotton pad to rid of excess gloss to obtain a more matte finish.
My lips are crack free, moisturized and plump with a long lasting colour!
Perfect for a night out or movie date :)
