Beauty { Easy Lipstick Trick }

{ Start with your canvas! Make sure to hydrate your lips a little bit }

I love wearing color on my lips, but to be honest, I’m too lazy to maintain it throughout the day, especially because I spend most of the day in front of a computer at work.

But instead of giving up, I like to find easier alternatives to do things that I like, while adapting them to my lifestyle. I use this easy lipstick trick almost any time I want to add a pop of colour to my lips because it’s a no-brainer and so easy to maintain throughout the day. This trick creates more of a lip stain look, which doesn’t wear off as fast, and I don’t have to worry about getting it all over my scarf or water bottle…or teeth.

To get the lip stain effect with the lipstick you already own, dab the lipstick all over your lips instead of swiping, and then use your ring finger to blend it all together. At this point, you can use your finger to swipe the product around to make sure that the color is all over my lips. This ensures that there’s enough product on my lips to show the color in a more tame way, but it’s a thinner layer that stays on the lips longer.

{ Apply by dabbing your lipstick in spots all over your lips }

{ Blend with ring finger }

{ You’re left with a more subtle and longer lasting lip stain }

My favorite lipsticks to use for this trick are MAC Rebel, Revlon Color Matte, Milani
