Why this worksBright lip colours can instantly elevate your makeup look and boost your confidence. By using the right techniques, you can ensure an even application that enhances your natural lip shape and lasts longer. Plus, spring is all about fun, fresh shades, so why not embrace it?

The ritual, step by step

  1. Exfoliate Your Lips Start with smooth lips by gently exfoliating. You can use a lip scrub or a DIY mix of sugar and honey, massaging it in light circular motions to remove dead skin.
  2. Apply Lip Balm After exfoliating, hydrate your lips with a nourishing lip balm. This will create a smooth base for your lipstick and prevent dryness, ensuring your colour looks fresh.
  3. Use a Lip Liner Choose a lip liner that matches your lipstick shade closely. Outline your lips to define their shape and prevent the lipstick from feathering. Fill in the lips with the liner for added longevity.
  4. Apply Your Lip Colour Using a lip brush or directly from the bullet, apply your chosen bright lipstick. Start from the centre of your lips and blend outwards for an even application, layering as needed for intensity.
  5. Set with Powder To make your bright lip look last longer, lightly dust a translucent powder over a tissue placed on your lips. This sets the lipstick and helps to prevent smudging throughout the day.

Where people go wrong

Many people skip exfoliating, which can lead to a patchy look. Others apply too much product without setting it, resulting in smudging. Make sure to choose a liner that matches your lipstick to avoid mismatched colour.

The pro moveFor an extra pop, dab a bit of highlighter on your cupid's bow after applying lipstick to enhance the shape and shine.
