It seems so easy, just applying some lipstick. But, it’s not. We’re giving you the ultimate tips for flawlessly applying lipstick that stays in place all day long!

Exfoliate your lips
The first thing you need to do is make sure your lips are soft before applying lipstick. You can easily make a lip scrub at home with some sugar and coconut oil, or buy one. You can also gently brush your lips with a toothbrush in the morning for a similar scrub effect.

Hydrate your lips
After exfoliating, you need to hydrate. Winter, summer, autumn, spring: take care of your lips all year round with a good lip balm or other moisturizer. Just like with your skin, this works wonders for applying your lipstick.

Foundation
Want the color of your lipstick to really pop? Apply some mineral foundation on your lips first. This helps keep the pigments in the lipstick from fading away.

Lip primer
Your lipstick application routine isn’t that different from applying foundation on your skin. That’s why a lip primer is essential; it helps keep your lipstick in place much better.

Lip liner
Choose a lip liner that matches the color of the lipstick you want to apply and stay well within the lines of your mouth. This way, not only will you apply your lipstick better, but it will also stay on longer.

Applying lipstick
Time to apply the lipstick. You can do this most precisely with a lipstick brush, but you can also go directly with the tip of the lipstick. Patience is key, so take your time. Grab a tissue after applying the first layer, blot your lips, and then apply another layer. Repeat this until the color looks nice and even.
