How to Keep Lips Moisturized with Matte Lipstick

Nothing can immensely boost confidence like a lovely, powerful shade of lipstick to go with your unique dress. However, what if you find that your lipstick is severely drying your lips at the end of the event? That’s not the best way for lip care. It’s quite the conundrum between wearing that gorgeous matte lipstick and risking dry lips, isn’t it? What if we said that there is a way of rocking the lipstick while keeping your lovely lips smooth and nourished so that you don’t have to run to the ladies’ room every five minutes? Read on to know how this can be possible for all of you who swear by matte lipsticks. 

Do Your Research

Yes, this may seem a bit weird as lip care is probably the last thing you thought you’d have to research. But, it’s required and extremely important to do so for the sake of your lips. Not all matte lipsticks are made the same way as they all majorly differ in ingredients. There’s no denying that all matte lipsticks have some ingredients that will inevitably cause dryness. However, the constitution of moisturising ingredients in some lipsticks is higher than others. For example, jojoba and Vitamin E provide moisture and prevent drying of lips. If you are especially prone to lip dryness, carefully choose a product that has a higher percentage of these products. Try the Lotus Herbals Ecostay Natural Matte Lipcolor in the shade Dahlia. Not only does this matte lipstick moisturise your lips, but it has an amazing colour as well.

Isn’t it better to do your research and choose a product that will serve you well in the long run? Sounds better than changing lipsticks on a whim because none of them does the job well. Customer reviews should also be considered while choosing matte lipstick.

Exfoliation

We’ve all heard of exfoliation, and we practice it regularly too. It’s supposed to be one of the best hacks for healthy skin, but I bet you hadn’t heard of it in the context of lips. Certain matte lipsticks love to go and settle down in the dry spots of your lips, which makes the dryness and flakiness seem very prominent. The way that exfoliation rids skin of all its dryness does the same for lips. Before applying lipstick, give your lips an excellent and thorough scrub. The dead skin cells will be removed, thus leaving very few dry spots for the lipstick to go and settle it. This routine should be followed after application as well. Once you remove your lipstick, give your lips a nice scrub so that no residue remains, which can cause dryness the next time you apply a matte lipstick. Do check out Ecostay Natural Matte Lipcolor- Daffodil, a unique matte lipstick that doesn’t cause dryness at all. Its properties keep the lips nourished and healthy. 

Moisturization 

This is the absolute key to effectively fighting dry lips. Before applying the lipstick, moisturise your entire face, especially the mouth area. There is a chance that your lipstick can smudge or bleed due to the moisturiser, which is why you will have to wait for the skin to absorb the moisturiser before applying lipstick. Moisturized lips will enhance the look provided by the matte lipstick, especially the Petunia shade matte lipstick by Lotus Herbals. 

Lip Primer

Many women swear by face primers, so why not invest in a lip primer? Using a hydrating lip primer has dual advantages. Firstly, it keeps the lipstick in place and ensures that it doesn’t go beyond the curve of the lips. Secondly, it keeps it from settling into the dry spot in the lips, and instead, the lipstick hangs on to the primer. If you have been tackling dryness caused by lipsticks for a while now, this product may be the solution you’ve been looking for. It is basic and convenient and doesn’t take too much effort. Top up the lip primer with any shade of Lotus matte lipstick of your choice. 

Lip Balm

In search of lipsticks and lip glosses, we lost the good old lip balm, the foundation of lip care. The best part about lip balms is that they can easily be used over and under a layer of lipstick. However, ensure that the lip balm is non-greasy so that your lipstick doesn’t bleed. Lip balms provide the lips with much-required softness and hydration. In the middle of an event, if you find that your lipstick is getting a bit lighter and you need to touch it up, use a lip balm first. Coat your lips with lip balm first, and then apply the lipstick. Your lips will look both nourished as well as gorgeous. Even more than lipstick, a lip balm should always be with you in your purse or handbag. It should be readily accessible when you need it. Lotus EcoStay Lip Colour Magenta Mania is one such product that looks when applied with a lip balm. 

Lip Mask

All sorts of masks are available these days, from hair masks to face masks. Masks provide the face and hair with rejuvenation and care. Don’t your lips deserve the same treatment? Apply a lip mask and leave it overnight to repair your lips. While you’re asleep, the mask will ensure that your lips are getting the nourishment they deserve. Incorporate a lip mask into your night routine, and don’t let it be a one-time thing. When the habit is cultivated, your lips will get time to heal themselves, and you will have the freedom to experiment with different sorts of matte lipsticks. 

Rest Your Lips

Like human beings and our body, your lips, too, require some off-time. Switch it up sometimes and instead of lipstick, apply a lip balm. Rest will give your lips some time to rest. It can also do wonders for your look. The occasional lip balm can provide a nice subtle edge to your look. There is a two-way benefit of looking gorgeous while indulging in lip care. If you want a soft and nude shade, you may like Lotus Ecostay Lip Colour Bubbly Nude. This product gives your lips a lovely, polished look but is also subtle and elegant at the same time. 

Dry lips due to ordinary matte lipsticks can be easily avoided by following these simple tricks. Using the correct product, like Lotus Herbals, takes care of your lips while making them look stunning. Choose only the best matte lipsticks.
