Three Ways to Get More Use Out of Your Lipstick

Most of us have a whole bag of lipsticks in various shades. Some of these shades we wear every week while others seldom seem to come out of the bag.

Here are three tips to help you get more use out of the shades you rarely use.

Try It On Your Cheeks

Funnily enough, liquid lipsticks make the perfect cheek stain. You only need the tiniest amount and you apply it by patting and blending it in with your fingers. Finding the right blush tone is a challenge but there are so many lipstick shades to choose from. Your perfect blush could be in the shape of a lipstick.

Bold Eyeshadow

You can also wear lipstick on your eyes. Lipstick pigment is stronger which creates a vibrant effect. If your eyeshadow doesn’t quite create the statement you are after, try using your lipstick instead.

Lip Liner and Balm

On some days, wearing lipstick seems like more effort than it is worth. Even the longest-lasting brands need reapplying at some point and bold colors aren’t always the current mood.

For a more subtle lip, apply lipliner to the center of your lips and then use lip balm to blend it around your mouth. This creates a more laid back, low-maintenance look.
