The Trick for Keeping Liquid Lipstick from Drying Out

Oh, liquid lipstick. We love how you give us those vibrant matte lips, but we hate how you dry everything out to the max. Good news: We’ve found a super-easy solution so we don’t have to break up with our favorite bold color.

Step 1: Gently exfoliate your lips by rubbing them down with a makeup wipe.

Step 2: Dab on a hydrating lip oil to keep your lips smooth.

Step 3: Now it’s time for the liquid lipstick, but be sure to apply slowly to avoid any mistakes. Ah, doesn’t that feel better?
