Here we are going to tell you top 5 lipstick mistakes that you are doing without even realizing.
Lipstick is a very essential in makeup that every woman
owns, but most don't get it right. Here are a few mistakes you may be doing
without even realizing.
#Mistake 1: Purchasing
cheap and expired lipsticks
Never compromise on quality when buying lipsticks. Also,
remember that all cosmetics have a shelf life. Skin discolorations, caused by
lipsticks, are more common than we think. This is due to certain ingredients,
which cause a photosensitive reaction, leading to problems like skin irritation
and discoloration. If you ever find that a lipstick has become too greasy, it
can mean that the oils have separated. This can happen when lipsticks are old.
It is best to stop using them. Sometimes, the perfumes used in lipsticks can
also cause irritation and allergic reactions.
#Mistake 2: Not
exfoliating lips
You must exfoliate your lips as well to slough off dead skin,
just like you scrub your skin. This prevents chapping of the lips. Chapped and
dry lips make it impossible to apply lipstick smoothly.
#Mistake 3: Wrong
application
This is a common mistake that people do. Lipstick should be
applied from the middle of the lips instead of corner and then extending to
either side, for easy application. Also, make sure that there is no lipstick on
your teeth.
#Mistake 4: Choosing the wrong shade
When choosing lip colors, keep your own skin color tone in
mind. For dark skin, avoid very pale colors. Brighter and more intense colors
are better for occasions where there are plenty of lights; otherwise the lips
may look washed out. You may think that light pastel colors would be right for
summer, but I feel that bright colours would suit a dusky complexion. You can
also go for dark pink. Lastly, avoid applying too much lipstick. If you have a
pale, yellowish complexion, avoid orange.
#Mistake 5: Not
defining Cupid’s bow
You can also use lip pencil for easy application. Start from
the top of your upper lip and create an X shape tracing your cupid’s bow. Now
fill in the rest of the lips with a lipstick. Instead of straight up applying a
lipstick, define your cupid’s bow for major impact.
