5 steps to nail the matte lipstick look

2 min read

First things first: you’ll need to prepare your lips. Matte lipsticks look terrible on cracked lips, so exfoliating is a must. You can use a lip scrub to remove dead skin, or you could apply petroleum jelly on your lips and gently scrub them with a toothbrush.

2. Moisturize

Lip liners not only prevent the color from bleeding or feathering, they also prolong the wear of your color.

5. Fill in

Take a selfie while you’re at it—you look fab!
