FAQ on liquid lipsticks:
Start with exfoliated and moisturized lips. Use a lip liner for precision. Apply a thin, even layer, starting from the centre and moving outward. Let it dry without rubbing your lips together.
Matte formulas contain ingredients that help them set and last longer, which can lead to a dry feeling. Prepping with a lip balm can help.
Use an oil-based makeup remover, micellar water, or even coconut oil to break down the formula before wiping it off gently.
Matte: Dries down completely, no shine, long-wearing. Glossy: Hydrating with a shiny finish but may not last as long.
Matte liquid lipsticks are often transfer-proof, but glossy or satin formulas may transfer.
