4. Professional makeup artists use a brush to apply lipstick on the lips. This technique allows you to create a uniform layer of decorative cosmetics and form a uniform coating, paint over even the most inaccessible areas (corners).
5. Another professional secret - applying foundation or a special primer (base) before using lipstick. This method allows you to get an even texture of the lips and maintain the durability of the product for a long time.
6. If you use the cover in summer, Apply a balm with SPF protection under it. This step will protect delicate skin from the aggressive effects of UV rays and prevent its dryness.
7. Removing lip makeup - no less important step than its application. Remove the pigment with a cotton pad previously moistened in milk or micellar water in an upward direction.
