Lets go over the five mistakes people make with liquid lipstick and how to get a perfect lip every time.


1. Forgetting To Prep Your Lips


The mistake people make is putting lipstick right on dry lips.


This is a problem because liquid lipstick makes every crack and dry spot on your lips stand out.


To fix this you should always get your lips ready before you put on lipstick. Start by removing dead skin from your lips with a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush. Then use a lip balm that moisturizes your lips and let it soak in for a minutes. Before you put on your lipstick gently blot your lips to get rid of any balm.


2. Using Too Much Lipstick


The mistake people make is putting on many layers of liquid lipstick at once.


This is a problem because it can make your lips crack and feel heavy.


To fix this just use a bit of lipstick and let it dry all the way. If you want a color you can add a second thin layer. This will help your lipstick longer and look better.


3. Not Using A Lip Liner


The mistake people make is skipping the lip liner and just using lipstick.


This is a problem because your lipstick can bleed or look uneven.


To fix this use a lip liner that's the same color as your lipstick to draw a line around your lips and fill them in. This will help your lipstick stay in place. Look better.


4. Not Checking The Formula


The mistake people make is using all lipsticks the same way.


This is a problem because different liquid lipsticks have formulas.


To fix this you need to understand what kind of lipstick you are using. Some lipsticks are matte. Need extra moisturizer before you put them on. Others are creamy. Need a little time to set. Always read the instructions. Change how you put on your lipstick based on the formula.


5. Not Removing It Right


The mistake people make is trying to remove lasting liquid lipstick with just water or face wash.


This is a problem because it can irritate your lips and make them dry.


To fix this use a makeup remover that is designed for long-lasting lipstick. Gently press it onto your lips. Let it break down the lipstick. Then wipe it away without rubbing hard. Finish with a lip balm to moisturize your lips.
