How To Make Your Lipstick Last All Day!

We all know that no makeup look is complete without a colorful lip!

There’s also no question that, while flawless lipstick is of course a must have, it can be a little difficult at times to get it to stay put and last throughout the entire day. If you find that you have this common problem with your lipstick, check out these helpful tips regarding how you can go about making your lipstick last longer.

1) Exfoliate – Lipstick color easily sloughs away after a short time if it’s applied to rough dry skin, so you want to make sure that you’re regularly exfoliating your lips. You can get yourself a lip scrub or create your own with brown sugar and a bit of olive or coconut oil.

2) Hydrate – Soft supple lips hold color the longest, which is why you also want to make it a point to moisturize them as often as possible with lip balms and butters.

3) Apply a Primer – There are all kinds of lipstick primers available that nourish your lips and create a smooth surface in order to help your lipstick last all day long.

4) Use the Right Lipstick – How long your lipstick lasts might actually depend on the quality of ingredients included in the formula. For the longest lasting lipstick, look for a brand that is reputable and uses nothing but premium ingredients.

5) Set the Color – To set your lipstick, you should use either a setting spray or powder. If you’re using a spray, gently mist your lips with it once you have applied your lipstick. If you’re using a powder, cover your lips with a piece of tissue and then apply a light layer of powder over them using a fluffy makeup brush.

6) Use a lipstick sealer – This is great for preventing fading and feathering of your favourite lipstick.

Making your lipstick last longer doesn’t have to be difficult at all. Keep these 5 tips in mind to help you determine the best way you can make your favorite shades last all day long.
