1. Apply Lipstick
This is a favorite step for many women. After applying a layer of foundation, you'll be amazed by how fresh and vibrant the lipstick looks on your lips, offering a completely new and lively appearance. It's recommended to apply the lipstick with a brush for a more even and polished finish. Let the lipstick set for a minute.
If you usually apply lipstick directly with your finger or a traditional lip brush, this technique is a refreshing change. Using an eyeshadow brush in your routine will bring a softer and lighter application. Its smooth bristles and wide shape help distribute the lipstick evenly, giving a delicate and fresh look. This tip is perfect for those who prefer a soft, subtle finish. I hope this suggestion brings you a soft and sophisticated lip look.


2. Blot and Apply a Second Coat of Lipstick
Many women have the habit of directly applying and blending lipstick on their lips. However, this method is one of the main reasons why lipstick fades quickly. Instead, try using a brush to apply your lipstick. This technique not only helps the color last longer but also allows you to layer the lipstick evenly for a more vibrant finish.
Once you've applied the first layer of lipstick, you can use a tissue to gently blot your lips. Separate a layer of tissue and lightly press your lips onto it. You'll notice that some of the lipstick color will be absorbed by the tissue, but don't worry. Simply apply a second layer of lipstick, which will help keep your lipstick intact even while eating or drinking.


3. Apply setting powder
A popular trick used by makeup artists on celebrities is applying setting powder to the lips. After applying lipstick, place a tissue over your lips and gently dust some setting powder over the tissue.
This method allows the powder to lightly set on your lips, helping prevent your lipstick from fading. Additionally, it minimizes the chances of lipstick transferring onto glasses or straws.


4. Lip gloss
The final step is to add life to your lips. Instead of applying a full layer of lip gloss like in step two, use your finger to gently dab the gloss onto your lips. This gives your lips a naturally plump and glossy look without the overdone shine.
To use lip gloss effectively, apply a thin and even layer of lip balm before applying lipstick, then press your lips together to spread it evenly. Be sure to keep the layer thin, as applying too much can backfire, leaving your lips looking wet, swollen, and unnatural!


5. Lip liner
Many women shy away from using lip liner, fearing it might make them look older. However, lip liners are actually a great tool to help your lipstick last longer. To avoid the 'aged' look, you can opt for a nude lip liner that blends seamlessly without showing the outline. Keep in mind that if you have dry lips, you should reconsider using lip liner, as it may accentuate the dryness.
While lip liner can make your lips appear fuller, it also plays a crucial role in making your lipstick last throughout the day. It helps the color adhere better and shapes your lips to prevent smudging, so don't skip this step in your makeup routine.


6. Shape your lips when applying lipstick
If you're a professional makeup artist or simply a lipstick enthusiast, you're probably already familiar with the benefits of defining your lip shape. By outlining your lips properly, you can achieve a fuller, more plump look.
Creating the perfect lip shape isn't just about using lip liner to outline and apply lipstick. To achieve the illusion of fuller lips, follow these steps: Start by using concealer and a small brush or cotton swab to cover the natural lip lines. Then, choose a lip liner that matches your lipstick shade to define the edges. The concealer step will create a smooth base, making the lip liner look more natural and giving your lips a fuller, more vibrant appearance. Good luck!


7. Moisturize your lips
In addition to exfoliating your lips, moisturizing them is equally important, especially with the colder weather approaching. Chapped lips can easily occur, and applying lipstick on dry, flaky lips can lead to an uneven, unflattering look.
To keep your lips soft and plump regardless of the weather, make moisturizing a daily habit. You can use lip balm, apply a sleep mask for your lips, or simply rub coconut oil on your lips. The vitamins in coconut oil will nourish your lips, keeping them smooth and radiant. Also, don’t forget to apply a layer of lip balm before applying any lip color (whether it's matte, liquid, or tint) to ensure your lips stay hydrated and vibrant!


8. Tẩy tế bào chết cho môi
Để có một đôi môi lên màu đẹp, điều đầu tiên bạn cần làm chính là làm mịn đôi môi của mình. So với những bộ phận khác, đôi môi là nơi chứa nhiều tế bào chết nhưng cũng hay bị bỏ quên nhất, vì vậy đừng ngạc nhiên nếu khi tô son lên mà môi bạn sần sùi những mảng da. Sử dụng dung dịch tẩy tế bào chết cho môi được bán rộng rãi trên thị trường hoặc các hỗn hợp từ trái cây thiên nhiên vô cùng đơn giản để có một bờ môi mịn màng hơn.
Để tẩy da chết hiệu quả bạn có thể đến một số cửa hàng mua son tẩy tế bào chết , gel tẩy tế bào chết,... hoặc đơn giản bạn có thể tự chế bằng cách trộn mật ong hoặc dầu dừa để tẩy sạch chúng. Hoặc đơn giản, nhẹ nhàng và tiết kiệm thời gian hơn, bạn có thể dùng một cây mascara đã cũ chải nhẹ lên môi để bong tróc lớp tế bào chết sau đó mới thoa son. Môi mềm mại thì son sẽ lên chuẩn màu, bám lâu và bạn sẽ trở nên lung tinh hơn nhiều! Nhớ nhé!


9. Apply lip balm
Once you’ve exfoliated your lips, gently use a soft cloth or toothbrush to massage the lips. This acts like a mini massage, helping to make your lips fuller and more alluring. Apply a moisturizing lip balm to your lips, just like you would on your face after exfoliating—your lips will absorb the hydration more effectively.
In addition to daily lip care, you can rescue dry, rough lips with a quick trick: use lip gloss. This will give your lips a plump, hydrated look while also enhancing the color and making it last longer. Let the lip balm set for about 15 minutes while you pick your favorite lipstick shade.


10. Apply foundation
If you have dark lips and struggle to get your lipstick color to show up as you wish, don’t worry anymore. A small amount of foundation can help you achieve the desired color. Just make sure not to apply it too thickly, as this may make your lips look unnatural. It may sound a bit unusual, but applying makeup to your lips is just like applying it to your face. A good base will enhance the overall appearance of your makeup.
To apply: Mix a small amount of primer with your lip balm, then apply it to your lips. Use a tissue to blot any excess gloss, leaving a smooth base for matte lipstick that won’t be shiny and will hold the color perfectly.
Note: This trick is not recommended for those with very dry or peeling lips, as the foundation may accentuate the flaking after some time.
