No matter how low-key you are, lipstick is one product that almost every girl carries in her handbag. A lot of us think that applying lipstick is easy but…it’s NOT! Many of us make these five common mistakes. Read on to find out what they are and how to avoid them.
Hello, chapped lips
Applying lipstick on chapped lips make your lip colour look patchy and it gives an uneven finish. Keep yourself hydrated and always use a lip balm or oil to keep your lips smooth.
We recommend CoNatural’s lip balms for chapped lips. They have three different flavours: lavender, peppermint and sweet orange. They are also easy on the pocket.
Exfoliate your lips
Don’t forget to exfoliate your regularly. It is as important as using face scrubs. A good lip scrub will get rid of dead skin on your lips.
We recommend Scoop O Scrub’s lip scrubs. We love ‘Very Very Strawberry’ lip scrub but they have other flavours as well. They are not that expensive either.
You are wearing the wrong shade
A lipstick shade is as important as your foundation. Your lip colour should suit your skin tone as a wrong shade will spoil your look.
Too much lipstick
Do not apply too much lipstick. If you do, it will not just smear on glasses or clothes but even your teeth will have lipstick all over them. Blot lipstick with a tissue paper after applying it.
Remove lipstick
Properly remove your lipstick before going to bed. It is as important as brushing your teeth and removing makeup from your face. If you don’t remove it properly, it will make your lips rough and dry.
