Brilio.net - Applying lipstick is often considered a simple step in the makeup process. Indeed, simply by applying lipstick to the lips, the color can immediately appear. However, in reality, the use of lipstick carelessly can make the final result far from expectations. Instead of getting charming lips, lipstick is easy to transfer, does not last long, and makes the lips feel dry.
This problem often arises because many people ignore the preparation and proper application techniques for lipstick. Dry and chapped lips, for example, are one of the main causes of lipstick having difficulty sticking properly. In addition, using lipstick products with less suitable formulas or not doing the layering technique properly can also affect the durability and comfort of lipstick on the lips.
Transferproof lipsticks do offer a solution so that the color does not easily transfer, but if applied without proper preparation, this product can actually worsen the condition of dry lips. Lipstick formulas that tend to be longer lasting usually contain ingredients that can draw moisture from the lips, making the lips feel drier than usual. This is the reason why lip care before and after using lipstick is a step that should not be ignored.
So, what is the right way to apply lipstick so that the results are long-lasting, not easy to transfer, and still maintain lip moisture? If you are confused, you can apply a technique from MUA named Rianti. Through one of the videos uploaded, she once revealed a trick to apply lipstick so that it is transferproof and does not dry out the lips.

As reported by briliobeauty.net from TikTok @riantimakeupstudio on Friday (2/14), there are several steps that need to be taken if you want the lipstick to be more beautiful and blend with your lips. The first step that is often missed is cleaning and exfoliating the lips.
In fact, the remains of previous lipstick or dead skin cells can make the lipstick not stick well. Cleaning the lips can be done with micellar water or makeup remover. After that, do a light exfoliation using a lip scrub or a mixture of sugar and honey. Don't rub too hard, just massage gently so that the lips remain soft and free from dry skin.

After exfoliating, make sure your lips get enough moisture. Use a lip balm that contains moisturizers, such as shea butter, coconut oil, or vitamin E. Wait a few minutes for the lip balm to absorb well before applying lipstick. Moist lips will help lipstick stick better, not crack easily, and feel comfortable all day long.

Once done, then use a lip liner. This product not only emphasizes the shape of the lips, but also helps the lipstick last longer. Apply the lip liner all over the surface of the lips, not just on the edges. This technique helps the lipstick stick better and prevents it from fading, especially on the edges of the lips. Choose a lip liner with a color that matches or is slightly darker than the lipstick for a more natural result.
Also, avoid using glossy lipstick. Although it gives a fresh and shiny look, this lipstick is less durable and easily transfers or moves to other objects. If you want a transferproof lipstick, you should choose a matte or semi-matte lipstick. However, make sure the formula remains light and does not make the lips feel stiff. If you still want a glossy effect, add a little lip gloss only in the center of the lips after the lipstick dries.

The most important thing to make lipstick last longer is to not close your lips after applying lipstick. This can make the lipstick color uneven and fade faster. It is better to apply lipstick evenly on both sides of the lips without closing them. If you want to even out the color, use a brush or pat gently with your fingertips.
By applying the steps above, lipstick can be more durable, transferproof, and still maintain lip moisture. So, no need to worry about lipstick fading when eating or drinking.
