Facial masks have become an indispensable part of our lives in the past two years, but let’s not forget the importance of looking good and feeling confident, even when we’re covered up. One way to do this is by wearing lipstick, and yes, you can still wear lipstick under a facial mask!
Wearing lipstick can enhance your mood and confidence, and it doesn’t have to be a complicated or time-consuming process. In fact, wearing lipstick under a facial mask can be quite simple and easy, as long as you choose the right lipstick and apply it correctly.
First of all, you need to choose a lipstick that is long-lasting and smudge-proof. This is especially important because you don’t want your lipstick to transfer onto your mask or smudge around your mouth. Look for lipsticks that are labeled as “long-lasting” or “waterproof“, or those that have a matte or transfer-proof finish. Some of my favorite long-lasting lipsticks are the Estee Lauder Double Wear Lipstick, the MAC Matte Lipstick, and the Nars Powermatte Lipstick.
Next, you need to apply your lipstick carefully and evenly. To do this, start by exfoliating your lips to remove any dead skin and ensure a smooth application. Then, use a lip liner to define your lips and prevent the lipstick from bleeding. Finally, apply your lipstick directly from the tube or with a lip brush, depending on your preference. Make sure to apply the lipstick evenly and avoid applying too much at once, as this can make it look uneven and cakey.
Once you’ve applied your lipstick, you may want to blot it with a tissue to remove any excess product and prevent it from smudging. You can also use a setting spray or powder to set your lipstick and make it last longer. Just make sure to choose a setting spray or powder that is compatible with your lipstick and won’t affect its color or finish.
Finally, don’t forget to remove your lipstick before taking off your mask. This will prevent any staining or smudging and keep your lips looking fresh and clean. You can use a makeup remover or micellar water to remove your lipstick easily.
In conclusion, wearing lipstick under a facial mask is totally possible, as long as you choose the right lipstick and apply it correctly. So go ahead and embrace your inner diva, even when you’re wearing a mask!
