Lipstick is such a versatile makeup element.
The thing about lipsticks is that they come in different formulas, and hence, have different textures.
These different lipsticks serve a variety of purposes and they have their pros and cons.
Some lipsticks are creamy and smooth, while some are watery and would dry up.
Board-certified dermatologist Dr. Shereene Idriss explains why this happens in an interview withHuda Beauty.
Liquid lip products like matte lipsticks and stains contain less oil and more wax.
This leads to “richer color on the lips, but less hydration.”
According to Dr. Idriss, hydration is vital to preventing liquid lipstick from drying out the lips.
She recommends rejuvenating your lips using a chemical exfoliant.
Firstly, you oughta exfoliate your lips, particularly if your lips are already chapped and peeling.
Exfoliation will smooth out the rough edges and give you a softer feel.
If you aren’t comfortable using acids, you might use a lip scrub.
Priming your lips will reduce the chances of matte lipstick flaking and peeling throughout the course of the day.
