How to make your lipstick look perfect for hours: life hack

Lip makeup can dramatically change your look and give it confidence. However, many women are hesitant to paint their lips often because lipstick wears off, smudges, and loses its beauty over time.

Fortunately, there is a method of applying lipstick that will help you avoid such troubles and keep your lips looking perfect all day long. It was shared by Katie Jane Hughes, a New York-based makeup artist who has worked with Dua Lipa, Hailey Bieber, and others.

Creating long-lasting lip makeup starts with proper preparation. Before applying lipstick, it is important to moisturize your lips to keep them smooth and hydrated. Apply a moisturizing balm (a very small amount so that it does not slip but is set).

Next, take a lip pencil that is a few shades darker than your lipstick color and gently draw the outline of your lips. Look straight ahead and don't tilt your head so that the right and left sides are symmetrical.

Pay special attention to the corners and blend the pencil a little with your finger to get a smooth transition.

Then, take the lipstick and use the back of your hand to apply it.

This is so that you can see what you're doing better and control it better.

After you have applied a layer of lipstick, blend the contour with a small brush and blot your lips with a tissue. Then apply another layer and repeat the procedure several times.

This is what will finally fix the makeup on your face.

After that, take the smallest fluffy brush you have and blend the outline of your lips. This will add naturalness to your makeup and make it look more romantic and dreamy.

Finally, apply a little metallic shadow on the lips to add contrast and further set the color on the face.
