8 Genius Lipstick Hacks Every Girl Should Know

Prep Your Lips Properly

Before applying lipstick, make sure your lips are smooth and free of any dead skin. Gently exfoliate them using a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush to get rid of dry and flaky skin.

Keep Them Hydrated

Moisturized lips hold lipstick better and prevent colour from settling into fine lines.

Concealer Hacks

Concealer is your best friend when it comes to lipstick application. Use a dab of concealer on your lips to create an even base for the lipstick and help it last longer.

Create a Diffused Lip with Tissue

There’s something so effortless about the diffused, lip tint look. If you’re a fan, you can use a tissue to get the look.

Translucent Powder

Translucent powder can help set your lipstick, as well make a satin finish matte. To set your lipstick, apply a coat of lipstick.

Create Fuller Lips

Want to know the best technique for a plump lip effect? Apply one shade of lipstick on your entire mouth. Then pick out a lighter shade and apply it to the centre of your lips.

Revive Old or Broken LipstickC

If your lipstick has broken, you can revive it by gently heating the broken end with a lighter and reattaching it to the base.

Go for Nudes

Nude lipstick is in, and if you’re going to opt for a nude lip, make sure to know what shade will work best for you. When choosing your nude shade, go for one that’s darker than your skin tone.
