Makeup: is matte lipstick for me?
If the matte lipstick does not flatter all mouths, it is important to master the application for an impeccable result. Thus, to apply it correctly, it is essential to take care of your lips and to know the right beauty gestures. Our how-to for audaciously velvety lips.
Lip make-up: matte lipstick, who is it for?
Between matte and shiny, does your heart swing? It is true that choosing your lipstick can be tricky as the shades and textures are so varied. First, the matte texture is to be avoided if you have wrinkles, because it accentuates the "cracked" effect around the mouth. Then, it is better to avoid it if you have a fine mouth and want to shape it. Unlike glossy textures that catch the light and give the illusion of fuller lips, matte can quickly harden your features. So choose the gloss finish for fuller lips. If, despite this, you absolutely want to wear them, avoid dark colors. Prefer more cheerful shades.
Skincare, the first reflex before lip makeup
Matte lipstick and chapped, parched lips don't mix. It tends to accentuate their slightest imperfections. That's why you have to take care of your mouth beforehand. The first reflex is to gently exfoliate them. A homemade scrub is a good idea to restore your soft lips. Just mix honey, with a little sugar and olive oil. Gently massage your mouth with this mixture to rid it of dead skin, before rinsing it with lukewarm water. To hydrate it, draw your favorite lip balm or coat your mouth with sweet almond oil. Result: smooth lips ready to receive your favorite lipstick.
Succeed in your makeup for sublime matte lips
Do you dream of long-lasting lip makeup? Opt for matte lipstick! It offers excellent hold, provided, of course, that you know how to apply it. To do this, draw the outline of your mouth with a tone-on-tone pencil. Then take a brush for an even and precise application of the color. Did you overflow? A cotton swab and your liquid foundation will be enough to rectify the situation. If you still need to do touch-ups throughout the day, here's a beauty tip to keep your lips hydrated. Use your lip balm first, then bite into a tissue to remove excess oil. Then apply your matte lipstick and admire the velvety finish.
