To avoid dryness, tightness, and flaking, we'll tell you how to achieve super light and smooth application of matte lipstick. Yes, it's possible!
A beauty look with matte lipstick is always long-lasting and intense, making you feel your best! However, it often comes at the cost of comfort: the delicate skin of the lips becomes dry, peeling, and feels tight. Let’s figure out why matte lipsticks can dry out your lips and how to avoid it. P.S. The secret lies in а proper care and choosing quality cosmetics.
Why matte lipsticks dry out your lips
Matte lipsticks mainly contain wax and coloring pigments, with only a small amount of oils for moisture. These proportions are carefully balanced to give the lipstick its matte, long-lasting, and highly pigmented effect. However, due to the high content of wax and pigments, which absorb excess moisture and skin oils, dryness occurs: the skin starts to peel, feel tight, and the lipstick may flake. But don’t despair! Makeup artists and beauty experts know a few tricks to avoid giving up on your favorite matte lipstick while also keeping your lips soft and smooth.
Secrets of care and proper application
To ensure the lipstick applies smoothly and doesn’t cause discomfort, follow these simple rules:
- Use a Lip Scrub Before Makeup: You can use a special lip scrub or a face scrub, which contains exfoliating particles for more delicate exfoliation (unlike body scrubs) and nourishing oils that hydrate the skin. Another option is a DIY scrub. Mix honey with sugar, apply to the skin, and then gently rub your lips with a toothbrush. Just be careful not to overdo it: the pressure should be gentle to avoid injury.
- Apply a Moisturizing Product After Scrubbing: Use your favorite balm, chapstick, nourishing face cream, or natural oils such as shea butter, coconut oil, or mango butter. But don’t rush to apply matte lipstick immediately; otherwise, the finish will be glossy and lose its durability. It’s best to let the moisturizing product fully absorb or blot your lips with a tissue before applying makeup.
How to choose a good lipstick
First, look at the ingredients. There should be moisturizing components to soften the effects of wax and coloring pigments. These can be natural oils, glycerin, vitamin E, and plant extracts. If they are not present, the matte lipstick is more likely to dry out your lips and cause tightness.
