Steps for the Application of Matte Pencil Lip Liner
#1. Clean your face: It’s a good idea to start your makeup on a fresh, clean face. Begin by scrubbing your face with a moisturizing cleanser. You can try the Albolene Scented Moisturizing Cleanser. This facial cleanser is effective at removing dirt, makeup, and any remaining mascara and lipstick from your face. Helps cleanse the face without leaving dryness.
#two. Use a lip scrub: If you plan to wear a matte lip color, you should use a lip scrub to remove dead cells from the surface of your skin. Matte makeup can cause dry patches on the skin and therefore it is best to use a scrub before applying matte lip color.
#3. Apply to moisturizer: After exfoliating the dead cells from the surface of your lips, you should apply a moisturizer. You can apply a lip balm to nourish your lips before applying lipstick and lip liner.
#4. Prime your with a primer: Apply a little primer to your lips to create a smooth base for the matte lip liner application.
#5. Line your lips: After the application of the lip primer, choose the pencil lip liner of the desired shade and outline the edges of the lips. If you want more pursed lips, you can draw a fake lip line outside of your natural lip line. Use the pointed tip of your lip liner up and its side on your lips. By doing so, you can draw the outline of your lips and fill it with the same color at the same time. After lining the lips, fill it in with the same color or another product. Avoid drawing hard lines. Remember that while you make up your face, do it with gentle movements.
#6: Apply Lipstick: For a bolder, more intense look, layer over your lip liner with your lipstick. Choose a lipstick color that blends well with the color of your lip liner. Start applying lipstick from the center of the upper lips. Work the lipstick from the center of the lips to the outer edges of your lips following the natural contour of your lips.
#7. Make use of the concealer to retouch: To cover small makeup flaws you should use a concealer. To compensate for minor flaws, you don’t have to start all over again. With a concealer, you can cover almost any makeup flaw.
#8. Use an illuminating highlighter: If you want your matte lips to pop, make sure the rest of your face has a shimmery gloss. You can impart the right amount of shimmer or shine to your skin with the help of an illuminating highlighter. Apply a small amount of highlighter to the center of Cupid’s bow and gently rub over your face for the perfect glow.
So, sport the perfect lip makeup by knowing the tricks of applying lip liner and lipstick and bring tons of charm to your face.
