Spring is here and it's time to up your lip game, whether you're single or taken! We all want to rock a fierce lip color that will turn heads and leave a lasting impression. And with the help of popular YouTube vlogger, Alyssa Forever, you can do just that! She recently dropped some major lipstick knowledge in her latest video and we're here to share it all with you.
1. Exfoliate those Lips - Coat your lips with chapstick and use a toothbrush to scrub away any dead skin. Finish by wiping clean with a cleansing towelette or a damp paper towel.
2. Perfect Primer - Use a nude concealer as a lip primer and set with a translucent powder to create a smooth canvas for your lipstick.
3. Liner is Key - Line your lips with a lip liner that is one shade darker than your lipstick and fill in the base for added definition.
4. Matte Magic - Turn any cream lipstick into a matte finish by topping it off with Smashbox Insta-Matte or another similar product. Apply with your fingers for a flawless look.
5. Blot it Out - Cup your lips around your index finger and draw your finger out to remove any excess lipstick and prevent lipstick-stained teeth.
6. Clean Up - Trace the perimeter of your lips with concealer to perfect any smudges or bleeding.
7. Get the Ombré Look - Apply a single coat of concealer over your lipstick to brighten your shade or create an ombré effect by concentrating the concealer in the center of your lip and blending out.
8. Kiss-Proof - Dust your lips with translucent powder to improve the longevity of your lipstick and prevent color transfer.
9. Sculpt with Highlighter - Apply a rose-gold highlighter to the bow of your lip for added definition and a sculpted look.
With these tips and tricks, you'll be ready to rock any lip color this spring. So go ahead, be bold and show off those gorgeous lips!
