Most of the beauty experts will suggest applying a lip liner before applying lipstick. A lip liner helps to define lips as well gives a good finish to the lips. Hence applying lip liner can be a boon for the new users as well. Your lip liner can also work like a primer which will allow the lipstick to wear evenly. If you choose to use lighter shades of lip liner your lips will appear thin or smaller.

Not using the right shade

Just like how foundation comes in different undertones, so does lipstick shades. For yellow undertone, stick to warmer colours and for pink undertones, look for shades with blue or purple tones in them. Those with olive skin tones can wear almost any colour whereas, fairer skin tones skin anything that used for yellow undertone. As for darker skin tones, deeper shades look naturally flattering.

Applying liquid lipstick

Whenever you apply the liquid matte lipstick always apply the borders first and then start applying the inner part of your lips. Also sometimes people press their lips together immediately after applying the liquid lipstick. This creates patches on your lips. Pressing your lips together after applying the creamier lipstick is fine but not the liquid and especially the matte once. Matte lipsticks are dry and pressing lips together after applying it will lead to patches.
