Exfoliate Those Baby Lips
Liquid lipsticks, as compared to the regular lipsticks are smoother. Also they are a little high maintenance. So you need to make sure your lips are prepared to cherish the beauty of it. What I do before swiping the wand of a liquid lipstick on my lips is exfoliate them with a spoonful of sugar. Nothing exfoliates and moisturizes the lips as the sugar. All your dead cells are out and all you are left with is a pair of soft smooth lips.

Filling Up The Lips
Now using a make-up brush apply a generous coat of liquid lipstick on your lips. Many of you will question why should you invest on a make-up brush when the lipstick already comes with a wand.

Matting The Liquid Lipstick
The best way to elongate the stay of a liquid lipstick is to mattify it. Few of the formulae would allow the liquid to dry into a matt finish. But for other formulae, when it doesn’t matt itself, you may add a little amount of talc powder on to your lips with the help of a fresh make-up brush. Do it diligently and carefully so the lipstick is not wiped out. Purse your lips against each other to get an even spread. And you are good to go.
