The five rules of wearing a lipstick

A swipe of colourful lipstick can instantly update your look. Be it your go-to red hue or the barely-there nude shade, getting that perfect pout is more about just swiping the colour. From long-lasting stay to colour payoff, there are a few rules you must follow before you apply a lipstick.

*Chapped lips and pop hue of colours are a big no. You must exfoliate your lips before applying a lipstick.

*Dry lips can collect your lip colour and create a patchy-finish. Make sure you moisturise your lips before applying the lip colour.

*Before swiping the colour on your lips directly, you must define your lips. A lip liner is thicker than the lipstick and can help to create a barrier and won't let the colour smear.

*Always test the colour before you purchase. Hint: look for a colour that brightens your face and not makes you dull instead. For nude colours, look for a shade matching your lip colour, as there is no one-for-all hue.

*Whenever you apply your lipstick, start from the centre of your lips to the corner. Once you've applied the lip colour, blot with a tissue paper and then apply a second coat for a long-lasting stay.
