Top 13 Tips for Flawless and Long-lasting Lipstick for the Lunar New Year

For perfect, long-lasting lipstick, one crucial step you can’t skip is exfoliating your lips. Your lipstick won’t go on smoothly or evenly if dead skin is still lingering. To exfoliate effectively, you can buy lip scrub products or exfoliating gels at stores. Or, for a DIY option, simply mix honey or coconut oil to create your own lip scrub.

If you're looking for an even simpler and quicker method, you can gently use an old mascara wand to brush away the dead skin cells, then apply your lipstick. Smooth, exfoliated lips will help your lipstick color pop, stay longer, and leave you looking more radiant! Don’t forget!

Sometimes, you don’t always want your lips to stand out too much, right? Whether it's a casual date or a quick shopping trip, a soft touch of lipstick can be all you need to look fresh and lively.

If you're used to applying lipstick directly from the tube, using your fingers, or a lip brush, here’s a new trick: try using an eyeshadow brush as part of your beauty routine. Thanks to its soft bristles and broad shape, the eyeshadow brush helps you blend your lipstick smoothly, creating a delicate, natural finish.

This trick is perfect for those who prefer a softer, more understated look. We hope this tip helps you achieve lips that are subtle and refined!

In addition to exfoliating your lips, moisturizing your lips is equally important, especially as the Lunar New Year approaches and the weather gets colder. Dry, chapped lips can make lipstick application look uneven and uncomfortable.

To keep your lips soft and smooth, make it a habit to moisturize daily with lip balms, overnight lip masks, or simply by applying coconut oil, which is rich in vitamins that help keep your lips plump and hydrated.

A well-moisturized lip base ensures your lipstick applies evenly, stays vibrant, and lasts longer. Also, remember to apply a layer of lip balm before your lipstick (matte, cream, or tint) to make your lips look even more inviting and fresh!

Along with regular lip care, another trick for reviving dry, cracked lips is using lip gloss. A coat of lip gloss will make your lips appear fuller and more youthful, while also enhancing your lipstick’s color and longevity.

To apply lip gloss effectively, first use a thin, even layer of lip balm, then gently press your lips together to distribute it. Keep in mind that less is more — applying too much lip balm will make your lips look overly glossy and unnatural, so use it sparingly to maintain a natural, fresh finish!

Full lips are undoubtedly attractive, but if not applied correctly, they can appear too bold or unbalanced with the rest of your facial features. Today, I'll show you how to apply lipstick to the inner part of your lips to keep them looking both cute and alluring!

Start by applying a thin layer of lip gloss to keep your lips hydrated and plump. Then, use a lip brush to outline your lips with a concealer that matches your skin tone, carefully tracing the lip line as I showed earlier. Next, take a light lip liner that matches the lipstick shade you plan to use and gently define the edges of your lips. To create the illusion of a smaller, more puckered shape, make the outline thinner and elongate the corners. Finally, use a brush to apply a deeper shade of lipstick to the center of your lips, blending it outwards with a lighter touch near the edges for a smooth gradient effect. This technique will make your fuller lips appear smaller, more defined, and irresistibly cute!

Thin lips give a delicate, almost ethereal appearance, but when lips are too thin, it can be challenging to apply lipstick without them looking uneven. To help you enhance thin lips, Mytour has a few simple tips to create a fuller, more balanced look.

The first essential step is to always apply a moisturizing lip balm before anything else to keep your lips plump and healthy! Next, apply a layer of foundation or concealer on your lips, focusing on the edges, to subtly widen the appearance of your lips.

To finish, use a lip brush to apply lipstick, blending it slightly outside the natural lip line to give the illusion of fuller lips. With just a few easy tweaks, even the thinnest lips can look fuller, more defined, and irresistibly kissable! Good luck!

Those with curved lips naturally exude charm, but knowing how to enhance those curves with lipstick is not always common knowledge. That’s why today Mytour is here to share tips on how to make your curved lips stand out beautifully this New Year!

The first essential step is to apply a nourishing lip balm—this step is crucial, and we’ve mentioned its benefits before, so no need to repeat!

The second step is to carefully outline your lips. Take your time and be precise! A slight mistake means starting over, and for those with more pronounced curves, it’s helpful to draw slightly inward to adjust the lip line. Afterward, choose soft, flattering shades like light pink, peach, or trending nude tones to fill in your lips.

Finally, use a little setting powder around the lip edges to blend and create a flawless look. Now you're all set for a gorgeous, fresh pout to show off during the holiday celebrations! Good luck!

This might sound a bit unusual, but applying a lip base is just like preparing your face for makeup. A good base can enhance the rest of your lip color, making it more vibrant and long-lasting.

Here’s how to do it: Mix a bit of foundation or primer with your lip balm, then apply it to your lips. Use a tissue to blot away any excess gloss, leaving just enough for a smooth, matte finish with vibrant color when you apply lipstick.

Note: This method isn’t ideal for those with dry, peeling lips, as the base will accentuate any flakiness over time. Use it only if your lips are in good condition!

The trend of using two lipstick shades is not new, and many women have tried this technique to find their perfect color. Professional makeup artists rarely stick to just one lip color, so it’s no surprise that most people struggle to settle on a single favorite. One major advantage of this technique is that it allows you to repurpose a pale or washed-out lipstick by using it as a base layer, saving it from going to waste.

Here’s how to do it: Start by applying the lighter, base color to your lips—either covering the whole lip or leaving the inner part bare. Then, apply your main lipstick color to the center of the lips. Use your fingers, a cotton swab, or a lip brush to blend the two shades together seamlessly.

The first tip for long-lasting lipstick is to choose formulas that adhere well to the lips, such as matte or tint lipsticks. Matte lipsticks are known for their strong staying power, delivering a defined color with minimal moisture. On the other hand, tint lipsticks are liquid-based and absorb quickly into the lips, leaving behind a layer of vibrant color that won't budge.

If you want your lips to stay flawless throughout the day—especially during busy holiday meals—go for either of these types of lipsticks. Plus, bold shades like coral red, bright pink, or crimson will last longer and look bolder than lighter shades.

To ensure your lipstick stays on longer and maintains its vibrant color, simply applying layer after layer won't do the trick. In fact, it might just waste product without much benefit. Here's a clever hack: After applying your first layer of lipstick, take a thin tissue and press it onto your lips. Then, using a brush, lightly dust some translucent powder over the tissue. Afterward, apply another layer of lipstick, adjusting the intensity to your liking.

This method will surprise you with how well it helps your lipstick last longer! The powder makes the lipstick more matte and secure on your lips. If you're worried about your lipstick fading while eating or drinking, this is a great solution!

If you're a professional makeup artist or just a lipstick lover, you probably already know the importance of defining your lips. A well-drawn lip line can make your lips appear fuller and more voluminous when done correctly.

Creating the perfect lip line isn't just about using a lip liner to draw your preferred shape and filling it in with lipstick. To achieve a fuller, more natural look, here's how: Start by using a concealer and a small brush or cotton swab to blur your natural lip edges. Then, pick a lip liner that matches your lipstick and carefully outline your lips.

The concealer will help soften the natural lip line, making your lip liner look more realistic, and giving your lips a fuller, more youthful appearance. Good luck!

Many people may not be familiar with the concept of the Cupid's Bow on the lips. The "Cupid's Bow" refers to the natural curve on the upper lip. Depending on each person's lip shape, this curve can vary in depth and form, usually appearing as a V-shaped indentation in the center of the upper lip.

When it comes to lip lining, the Cupid's Bow is often a challenge for many, due to its curved shape. But don't worry! To easily master this, simply draw an 'X' shape with your lip liner where the Cupid's Bow naturally sits, making sure it aligns perfectly with the curve. Then, use your lip liner to fill in the rest of your lip line before applying your lipstick. This technique will help you achieve a beautifully shaped, natural-looking pout that will surely captivate anyone!
