The makeup artist trick for getting your most precise lipstick application yet
All you need is an item you’ll find in your pantry
As much as we love a statement lipstick, it can be tricky to apply. When you’re wielding a product packing a lot of pigment, one false move and you could be in need of a face wipe and a full reapplication of your foundation around the lip area.
Yep, it’s a dangerous task but someone's gotta do it!
So, we were rather delighted when we stumbled across an ingenious trick designed to help you apply your lip colour, without fear of colouring outside the (lip) lines - so to speak.
As demonstrated by renowned makeup artist Nam Vo, holding a piece of paper around the lip area prevents any lipstick from ending up on the face, should you accidentally slip up during the application.
The best news? No extra fancy new products are required – you can just grab some tissue or a sheet of paper towel.
Clever!
