Makeup artist shares tip to stop your lipstick from smudging under a face mask

Saffron Hughes, makeup artist at FalseEyelashes.co.uk, has shared the simple tricks she uses to help keep her lipstick in place whilst she's wearing a face mask

Presently that Covid limitations are facilitating and we're permitted to mingle, we're ready to get our special clothes on.

For a few, that may mean applying a steamy smokey eye, and for other people, a brilliant strong lipstick.

In any case, security measures are still set up to diminish the danger of Covid, which implies it is as yet mandatory to wear our covers.

While you're ready to go cover-free when finding a spot at the table, you should in any case wear them when you go inside to utilize the restroom or to stroll around the setting.

Be that as it may, wearing a veil shouldn't deflect you from generously applying your number one lipstick.

Thus, we addressed Saffron Hughes, cosmetics craftsman at FalseEyelashes.co.uk, to discover how we can prevent that lippy from moving.

After applying your lipstick, Saffron says you should slowly buff your lips with your finger, as she says: "This will create a thinner layer of lipstick which will keep any excess formula rubbing off onto your mask."

Then, lightly move your finger in a circular motion straight after application and wait five minutes before dusting on powder to set the color in place.
"Ensure to do this gently as you don’t wait to eradicate all the color," she warned, adding, "just enough so the right amount of product is absorbed into the lips and excess has been removed."

Another option is to wear your lipstick as a stain, which is an efficient way to sustain color with no residue.
To do so, first, apply a light layer of lip balm, then with your finger, pat a highly pigmented lipstick colour from the centre of your lips outwards to distribute.

"Lip balms blend the colour into your lips easily without any tacky residue sticking to your mask," the MUA explained.

Saffron added: "Avoid the corners as this is more likely to create a smudge, finish with a blot by pressing your lips carefully together.
"A lip stain is a great way to apply a light wash of colour if you’re not in the mood for ultra-matte.”
