I am a 22-year-old girl and I love wearing lipstick. But it gets wiped off pretty soon when I drink water or eat something. Is there some way I can make it last longer? I hate reapplying it all the time. What can I do?
There are a few things you can do to make sure your lipstick stays longer on your lips. One of them is buying brands that offer long stay lipsticks that can last for a good 8-9 hours or more. These do not rub off even when you sip water or eat something. A few such brands are Max Factor, Maybelline, Revlon, etc.
If you aren’t planning to buy one of these, you can use a few hacks that make-up artists recommend. One of them is applying a bit of foundation on your lips before you apply lipstick. Beauty expert Shahnaz Husain suggests using this trick for long lasting results. Also try these 13 beauty hacks.
Another way is to prep your lips before you apply lip colour. Make-up artist Kanikka Gauraav Tandon recommends using a sugar lip scrub to gently exfoliate them and then applying one coat of lipstick. Blot it on a tissue and then top it up with another coat.
Opting for lipstains or gloss is also a good idea. These are liquid colours and usually stay for a longer time. If you don’t wish to reapply lipstick over and over again, you can even opt for a tinted lip balm which matches your lipstick. Once you lipstick wipes off, use this on the lips. It will add colour to your lips and also protect them from getting chapped.
