💋The Do’s and 🚫 Don’ts of Matte Lipstick
📝Take notes
1. Do Exfoliate First
Since matte lipstick has a flat, non-shiny finish, it can draw more attention to your lips. If you have chapped, dry lips, a layer of matte lipstick is going to emphasize every flake, crack and dry patch. Gently massage on a lip scrub to exfoliate dead skin cell buildup, then rinse with water.
2. Do Pick the Right Hue
The wrong shade of lipstick can wash out your complexion and make your skin look dull. The right shade can make your skin glow, it can make your teeth look whiter and can really elevate your overall look.
We recommend choosing a shade that has the same undertones as your skin tone. Flip over your wrist and look at your veins. If they’re blue, you have cool or pink undertones and if they’re green, you have warm or yellow undertones. If your veins are a mix of the two, then you have neutral undertones.
3. Do Match Your Lip Liner to Your Lipstick
Using a lip liner helps to prevent your lip color from feathering outside the lines and it also helps your lipstick wear longer. As for what shade to pick, choose one that is similar in tone to your shade of lipstick that also has a matte finish. Match the finish of your lipstick with your lip liner, so pair matte lipstick with matte lip liner and pair satin lipstick with satin lip liner.
4. Do Remove Matte Lipstick With Care
The makeup cleanser that you use to remove your makeup will also be able to remove your lipstick.
➡️ DON’TS
1. Don’t Skip Lip Balm or Primer
Once you’re done exfoliating your lips, reach for a hydrating lip balm to moisturize your pout before applying matte lipstick. Moisturizing your lips will help your lipstick apply more evenly.
2. Don't Apply Too Many Layers
It will make your lipstick look textured and it could potentially crack and look uneven.
