Many beauty lovers will never get enough of the transformative power of matte lipsticks. However, do they really know the correct methods to apply matte lipstick? To make yourself look enchanting with your favourite lipstick, you need to be aware of these five common matte lipstick mistakes.

Mistake #1: You Skip Primer

Primer can help to keep lipstick in place throughout the day and formulate a smooth cover for lipstick application. 

Mistake #2: You Think Lip Liner Isn’t Necessary

If you don’t have a lip primer, you can use a lip liner over your entire lip as a base. Lip liner is a game-changer and you will lose the game without it. 

You can avoid your colour from trickling outside the lines if you outline your lips before applying lipstick. Besides, a lip liner that is darker than your natural lip colour can add serious dimension for the pout of your dreams if you intend to put on a nude lip. Remember not to choose a liner that is is too dark because you don’t want to wander around like an unfilled colouring book.

Mistake #3: You Choose Colour That Makes Your Lips Look Smaller

Do you believe that dark lipstick can make lips appear thinner? It's true that dark lipstick can sometimes cause our lips to look thinner. 

Hence, you might want to choose a lighter shade that will provide the look of a fuller pout.

Mistake #4: Start From The Corners Instead Of The Centre Of Your Lips

When you start at the corners of your lips, it’s probably that you’ll turn outside the lines. Start applying matte lipstick at the centre of your lips to stop this dilemma. You will soon realise how your ideal pout becomes more controlled. 

Mistake #5: Forget To Check Your Teeth

Are your teeth as fabulous as the lipstick on your lips? You can keep the answer in your heart. To ensure you won’t end up destroying your selfie with a stained smile, remember to floss every day. Healthy pink gums will make your teeth appear brighter and build up a beautiful smile. Leaving food, plaque, and bacteria to stay between your teeth will make it easier for food and drinks to stain your teeth.
