HOW TO MAKE MATTE LIPSTICK LAST ALL DAY
There's no doubt that matte lipstick with its smooth texture and clean finish suits all skin tones and looks polished and directional. It's a key element in a well-stocked makeup bag and gives you the opportunity to update your style quickly and easily. Plus, matte lipsticks are notoriously long-lasting because they are super pigmented with a rich colour payoff that’s irresistible.
Prep & Prime
The only downside to matte lipstick is that it can highlight dry areas if lips are not well hydrated. Luckily, this is simple to avoid with a little bit of prep and prime. We recommend applying a lip balm before bed and throughout the day when you're not wearing matte lipstick. Keeping lips hydrated in the long term will prevent cracks, peeling and patchy lipstick. It also means your lips will be in great condition and will look smooth and healthy whether you choose a liquid lipstick, lip gloss or even a subtle nude lipstick.
Outline & Fill
To ensure a crisp outline, and avoid any smudging, first line your lips with our Dessin Des Lèvres Lip Liner. The creamy formula goes on smoothly and helps to prime lips for long-lasting lipstick while ensuring that a precise application of lipstick is easy as you simply fill in the outline. When long-lasting lipstick is the goal, you can also fill in your lips with your lip liner as this will give your lipstick something to cling to and provide more colour depth.
For an ultra-precise finish, try this makeup-artist-approved trick with the world renowned Touche Eclat Illuminating Pen. Simply trace your Touché Eclat around the outline of your lips to help define and enhance the sharpness of the lipstick. The illuminating formula of this unique concealer will also brighten the lip area, creating the appearance of fuller lips.
Choosing Your Matte Lipstick
How to choose the right shade? Well, it depends on what you're looking for - maybe an everyday bright red? A perfect nude lipstick? Everyone chooses differently which is why we offer so many lipstick formulas and shades. We think it's important that you choose a lipstick shade that speaks to you and makes you feel happy and confident. You can always use our virtual try on service to try on any colour from our shade selection.
