How to Apply Matte Lipstick the Right Way
Exfoliate Your Lips
All it takes is to begin with prepping the lips rightly. Dry and dead layer of skin on the lips can make the lipstick look uneven and rough. Hence before applying lipstick with matte finish, rub any lip scrub or damp a clean toothbrush and rub on the lips gently. Looking after the lips is as important as skincare which helps to keep the lips nourished and soft. Now as you will apply the lip color, it will not crack or bleed away.
Moisturize with a Lip Balm
After prepping the lips, prepare the lips base by moisturizing them. This helps to fill in the cracks to enable the matte lipstick to glide evenly without looking cakey. Don’t directly apply the lipstick to the layer of lip balm. Let it settle on the lips for a few minutes and then coat it with lip color. This step will keep your lips hydrated and prevent the product from getting dry.Â
Finish off the other Make-Up before Hand
After applying the lip balm, you need to let it absorb in the lips till they become soft and supple. Meanwhile, you can go ahead with your base make-up. Decide the shade of the lipstick you want to apply and create the base make-up accordingly. If you choose a bright-colored lipstick, then keep the make-up coverage low, whereas if the shade of your lip color is subtle then you can choose to do a heavy base with full coverage.

Well don’t worry, after you are done with the application of lipstick, take some compact powder and dab around the area with smeared lipstick. This will clean up the edges and create an extra line around the lips giving a better look.
