Morning! Today we're talking about matte lipsticks. I love a good velvety matte lip! Something that stays all day and looks fresh even after eating or drinking is a weakness for a girls like US.
A lot of women say they hate matte lipstick because they're "sooo drying to the lips" hmmm is it the lipstick or is it that YOUR lips are already dry? A creamy or shiny lipstick will fool you into thinking your lips are ultra moisturized. But look a little closer and I'm sure you'll see those unsightly cracks and cuts in your lips with your favorite moisturizing lipstick just as you would with a matte lipstick.
So here's a little tip and a recipe to combat stubborn dry chapped lips:
What you'll need:
- Olive Oil
- White granulated sugar
- 1 small mixing bowl
- 1 teaspoon
- 1 toothbrush
Simply mix a few drops of olive oil with one teaspoon of the sugar, mix the two together, add the mixture to the toothbrush and apply to your lips in circular motions. You'll be left with baby soft lips free from dry skin, cuts and cracks.
Now on to a few of my favorite matte lipsticks.
From Left to Right:
- Make Up For Ever- Aqua Rouge #7
- Kat Von D liquid lipstick- Backstage Bambi
- Stila Liquid Lipstick in Beso, Bellissma, and Patina
The key to applying liquid lipsticks are to apply them as if you would a lip gloss but DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT rub your lips together! Simply place your lips together to get the color even on your lips. I add a darker contrasting lip liner, blot my lips together and Voila perfect pout-ty, sexy matte lips! Here are a few pictures of me wearing these matte colors..... JC
