Lipsticks / matte liquid lipstick

Matte lipsticks are some of the more loved and talked about beauty products in the market. And rightfully so! The rich pigmentation and flawless, almost red-carpet look make one look like a superstar from Hollywood! But matte is not a lenient thing. If applied incorrectly, it can ruin your entire day.

So, knowing what you are doing is very important. So, the following are a step-by-step guide to how to apply liquid matte lipstick:

Step #1: Exfoliate your lips.

It is vital before you plan to wear matte lipstick to ensure that your lips are smooth. You can buy a lip scrub, make your own at home, or simply use a washcloth. And finally, pat on your lips with a soft and dry towel when you are done.

Step #2: Apply moisturising balm.

Remember, you are putting on a liquid matte lipstick. That means your lips will probably be drying for the whole day. So, applying a moisturising balm is a very decent shout before applying the lipstick to ensure that your lips remain soft and smooth for the whole day. We would suggest you do not get an oily or greasy lip balm. Preferably, use a wax-based lip balm that thinly coats your lips. You can blot your lips once if you wish.

Step #3: Put on the lip primer.

To make sure that your lipstick stays in place and does not bleed or melt during the day or in higher temperatures of the day, we have lip primers! It takes a maximum of one or two minutes to get it done, so please do the needful.

Step #4: Make an outline with your pencil and fill them.

A lip liner is used to make a defined shape of your lip. Make sure you choose a liner that is a few shades lighter than the lipstick.

Step #5: Apply 1 coat of liquid lipstick and use short strokes.

So finally, we are putting the lipstick on. Begin with the best matte liquid lipstick and start applying on your cupid's bow and work to the end. Use short strokes. It will give you more colour compared with longer strokes.

You can put in a second coat if you wish to. Generally, 1 coat is enough but if you feel that the 1st coating is too transparent for your liking, then surely go for another coating. But make sure you are doing it almost immediately after the 1st coat, and make sure that you apply it the same way you did in your 1st coating.

Step #6: Bloat your lips.

If you like a super matte look, then give this a try. It’s really simple, get a tissue and put it between your lips and lightly press them immediately after you are done applying your lipstick. And there you have it! Follow these steps, and you will look like the queen you always dreamt of.

It seems to be an easy task to go and pick up the lipstick of any shade from the store. But trust me princess, we all have pitched enough lipsticks to the trash bin just to know there’s nothing called perfect shade that works for anyone and everyone.

Despite the fact that you are bold and love colours like Red, magenta, etc. It is obviously not necessary for any lipstick to compliment your skin tone. Hence you have to undertone a bit so that it matches your skin tone.

However, you don’t really have to hire a makeup artist to help you find the best shade for you. All you need is Kingdom Of Lashes in your life to make your life super easy. Here we are suggesting you tips and tricks to find the best matte liquid lipstick shade that complements your skin tone.

Regardless of your skin tone, every skin has an undertone. All you got to do is, learn to observe the positives and make it work for you. This tone radiates from beneath your skin tone, it can be warm, cool, or neutral shade. To know your undertone, take a quick look at your veins under your wrist. Yes! That’s it! That’s the shade we gotta focus upon!

1. Cool Undertones:

People with cool undertones have bluish-purple, red, pink or ruddy undertones to their skin. Anyone with this undertone tends to burn easily in the sun and rarely gets tanned. Most of the fair people are blessed with cool tones.

For cool undertones, look for lip colours that have similar tones. Go for nude liquid lipstick from KOL or lilac shades.

Try to avoid orange or yellow undertones, especially while choosing reds and corals.

2. Warm Undertones:

Warm undertones are not just reserved for people with darker skin. It can also appear in  yellow, golden, peach or olive. This undertones tan easily but rarely burns in the sun exposure.

Anyone with a warmer skin tone, look for shades like red with an orange base, something that is similar to the colour of brick and terracotta. Warm undertone people can easily and beautifully pull off shades like chocolate and tawny cranberry.

3. Neutrals:

Anyone with neutral tones are blessed and are especially chosen by God himself. The royal beauty of a neutral undertone is that you never have to be concerned about the shades while choosing the best fit lipstick colours.

If you wish to play it super safe, go for rose gold shades that look good on any skin tone, virtually.

Don’t assume you can try any colour on any occasion. Though Plum red might look the best it doesn’t have to fit every occasion. However, apart from nudes (that fits every occasion) go for purple-reds like violet, red-based browns, and plum colors that work well for you.

Pro tip: Sometimes, wearing dark lipstick colour can be intimidating, but, trust me, it doesn’t always have to be! Your lip colour will stay and look the best only if you ensure to exfoliate, moisturize regularly and use a lip liner.

Now you can sit back at ease and find your undertone and then proceed to choose the best matte liquid lipstick shade from KOL.
