5 Tips to make lipstick last longer

Prepare your lips well

All lipstick stays on better on smooth surfaces. For this reason, a trick that really helps lipstick last longer is to gently clean your lips with a damp cloth and then apply a lip balm. After that, just wait for the product to absorb before removing the excess with a tissue. Lastly, it’s also worth putting a little concealer on your mouth before applying lipstick to help it stay on.

Satin finish

Most long-lasting lipsticks have a matte finish. However, this type of lipstick tends to leave lips dry and rough. Therefore, a good trick to make lipstick last longer is to opt for satin finishes, as they have a shine that comes from the pearlescent pigments and not the texture. Additionally, satin lipsticks are not as moist as creamy lipsticks and therefore last longer.

Lipstick application

Another tip that works a lot to make lipstick last longer is not to use a brush to apply it. This is because the color is much richer if applied directly without using a brush. But, to avoid the risk of lipstick smudging, after applying the first layer, you need to remove the excess with a tissue and apply another layer.

Fill in your lips with pencil

To make the lipstick last longer on your mouth, it is also worth filling in your lips with pencil and only then applying lipstick in the same color, only in layers. Lip pencils are very good for helping lipstick stay in place, as they are formulated to be harder than lipstick, and therefore stay on better and last longer. Therefore, the ideal is to apply the lipstick in layers to create a more lasting effect and also prevent your lips from being left without any color.

Apply compact powder and concealer

Among the tricks on how to make lipstick last longer, applying concealer and compact powder after lipstick is one of the most useful tips. To achieve greater color retention, after applying lipstick, apply a very thin layer of compact powder to your lips using a brush or sponge. Then you need to apply another layer of lipstick and correct any smudges with concealer around your mouth. The good thing about this trick is that the lipstick doesn’t smudge afterwards and the color stays highlighted. It just doesn’t work to do this trick with a translucent powder or powder foundation!
