Lip care, how to put on lipstick, draw lips and preventing chapped lips : The 411 on Lips

How to put on lipstick sounds like a no brainer! Draw, outline and fill. But we’ve all had at least one experience with our lipstick smudging, bleeding, ending up on our teeth or drying our lips out. I’m the founder of Dawes Custom Cosmetics and make custom lipsticks for a living. This 411 lipstick guide on how to apply lipstick for the perfect lip application covers how to prevent chapped lips, how to draw lips whatever shape you’re going for and lip care.

Lips have stolen the show as much as eyebrows recently and it’s all about getting the perfect pout which means dry, flaky lips are a definite No-No plus they can be painful.

Matte, long-lasting lipsticks are awesome for long days and nights but the chemicals used in non-clean brands tend to leave lips as dry as the Sahara. As well as needing a lot of TLC after taking a beating from air-conditioning, heating, sun, and flying.

Whether you’re a glossy lip gloss girl or matte lipstick type, how to get the perfect lip really starts with lip care. You want smooth lips to create a hydrated, smooth canvas, just as you would with your face.

How to Put on Lipstick | 5 Steps to Perfect Lipstick Application

Here are my top tips for keeping your lips looking gorgeous, plump and hydrated.

  1. Use a hydrating lip mask to help get rid of and prevent chapped lips such as Dawes Custom Cosmetics Miracle Hydrating Plumper. I also use this lip mask during the day for hydration, volume, and subtle minty freshness.
  2. Gently use a lip exfoliator to get rid of any dead skin. You can use a sugar scrub, dry toothbrush or even a damp facecloth/flannel.
  3. Use a lip pencil to create the lip shape that you want and prevent the lipstick bleeding beyond the lip line. This is especially important when using a darker or red lipstick. You can also draw slightly outside of your lip line to cheat bigger lips. Some clever lip contouring will help this look more natural.
  4. Use a lipstick primer before you apply lipstick to create a smooth base. Dawes Custom Cosmetics does a really lightweight hydrating ‘Perfect Pout Primer’ that also fixes lipstick in place.
  5. Finally apply your favorite shade of lipstick or lipgloss with a lip brush or straight onto your lips. You can layer for a longer lasting or more intense color. Either blotting with tissue paper and dusting with setting powder between layers or just blotting.

How to wear lipstick under face masks

Wearing face masks has changed how we wear makeup. I’ve been hunting down ways to minimize lipstick transfer to our masks, lock in the lip color and keep my lips hydrated.

I was so fed up of lipstick smudging under my mask or going out without lipstick and then nipping to the restroom to apply it when I got there. I’m a bit of a control freak so I decided to formulate my own cruelty-free long lasting lipstick formula for Dawes Custom Cosmetics to solve the problem.
