5 ways to prevent lipstick transfer to glasses and collars
The 5 ways to prevent your lipstick from transferring will definitely blow your mind! Now you really know how to tweak your lip makeup to prepare for a spot-free day. So, spare me the formalities of an introduction and jump straight into the 5 great tips to protect your lips from transmission:
1. Wear a lip liner
One of the great ways to make your lips pop and pop is to apply a lip liner before applying a lipstick. However, this step also prevents the transfer of your lipstick. Generally having a slightly dry texture, the lip liner formula holds the creamy formula of your lipstick in place, preventing fading. A lip liner accentuates the shape of your lips, adds depth and holds your favorite lip color in place, giving you a transfer-proof and long-lasting lip make-up look.
2. Try a lip primer
John Stapleton, the lead artist of M.A.C. Cosmetics summarizes the role of a primer: “If you want your color to adhere flawlessly to the wall, you must prime it first.” A lip primer helps prepare your lips by creating an even and flawless base. The ingredients in the Lip Primer formula also increase the longevity of your lipsticks and prevent transfer to collars and glasses.
3. Remember to dab
Just like you need oil blotting paper to keep makeup from slipping and to restyle your makeup, dabbing your lipstick will help keep formula from slipping. Now apply a thin layer of lipstick all over the lips, then take a single piece of clean tissue paper and dab your lips with it. Then apply another layer of lipstick to seal the formula. All you have to keep in mind to use this trick properly is to avoid force dabbing as you don’t want to completely remove or wear off your lipstick!
4. Powdering
This trick is another simple but effective way to seal your lipsticks. After applying your lipstick, take your favorite compact or translucent powder with a large brush and spread it on your lips to set your lipstick. Then apply another coat of lipstick and you’re done. It’s also a great trick to use a blush that matches the lipstick and dab it over the lipstick to keep it intact. The powder formula helps reduce excess moisture from the lipstick, which is the only reason for bleeding and staining from the lip line.
5. Try foundation
Just as a lip liner helps keep the lipstick in place, applying foundation and setting with compact powder will help prep your lips for lipstick application. It helps create an even base and prevents the lipstick from sliding off the lip line.
