Gah! I’m so excited about 1) sweater weather (anyone else totally over the heat?), and I can’t wait for all of the full-on pigmented matte lip colors for fall! I’m already building my army of berries, reds and roses…
If you’re all about rich, autumnal lips like I am, here are four application tips to help you get fabulous matte fall lips that look great all day long.
1. Step one: Get prepped
Prep your lips by applying your favorite moisturizing balm to remove any dryness. (I’m a fan of CeraVe Healing Ointment, myself.)
2. Step two: Soften those edges
With a finger, press a thin amount of your favorite liquid concealer all along the edges of your lips until your lip line kinda disappears into your skin. Then, wait a minute for the concealer to dry. Right now I’m loving Hourglass Veil Retouching Concealer (it’s what I’m wearing in these pics), but any good pigmented liquid concealer should do.
3. Step three: Set it and forget it
Load a tapered eye brush with a translucent setting powder, and lightly dust a layer on top of the concealer to set it.
4. Step four: Just add color
Apply your rich fall lip color either directly from the tube, or using a brush. Then, step back and admire your beautiful lips! 😊
I wasn’t the only one inspired to wear something colorful today! This is Connor’s peacock-inspired look.
