Lipsticks are an essential component of any makeup routine. Colour and formula trends in lipstick makeup will come and go, but lipstick is here to stay. Even if you’ve found your perfect everyday lipstick, it’s common to be unable to get the best pop of colour out of it. It is difficult to apply the product evenly to the lips. Over-drying and flaky lipstick are two of the most common issues with liquid lipstick by the end of the day.
Every woman can relate to the journey of finding the perfect lipstick shade. The search for lipstick can be for a special occasion, to match your dress, or for everyday makeup. The perfect everyday lipstick makeup strikes a balance between not being too bold but still making a statement, being long-lasting, matte but not too drying, and, most importantly being kind and safe enough for everyday use. While the list appears to be lengthy and difficult to navigate, we present to you the KIRO lip collection, which includes the Non-Stop Airy Matte Liquid Lipstick, Lush Moist Matte Lipstick, and Super Butter Lip Lacquers. A brand that is constantly striving to create makeup that is skincare-infused and suitable for everyday use. The versatile shade range complements Indian skin tones and is suitable for all skin types.
How do you achieve the perfect lipstick makeup?
Lipstick and lip colours require technique and practice to apply. To enhance your lips in the best way possible, it is critical to understand and apply techniques specific to the type of lipstick you are using. So, if you’re new to makeup and lipstick, or if you’re having trouble getting those amazing pouty lips, follow the steps below.
#1 Prep
To achieve the perfect pouty lips, one must first perfect their base.
- Once a week, exfoliate your lips to remove dead skin cells. This keeps your lips from becoming flaky. You can start by massaging your lips gently with a damp toothbrush. The point here is to be gentle and avoid excessive rubbing. You can also exfoliate your lips with a lip scrub.
Pro tip: To make your own lip scrub, combine some granulated sugar with olive oil and honey.
- Moisturize your lips to ensure a healthy canvas for your lipstick. If you apply lip balm right before applying lipstick makeup, make sure to remove any excess lip balm with a tissue or a cloth to prevent your lipstick from moving.
- Conceal your lips with a concealer. If you have uneven lip colour or hyperpigmentation, this step is optional. To achieve an even base for your lipstick makeup, use a small amount of concealer that matches the exact skin tone around your mouth and lips to even out your lips. This brings out the best in your lipstick and makes the colour pop on your lips.
#2 Use a lip liner
Precision and accuracy are acquired through practice. It is very easy to make a mistake when applying lipstick makeup. Using a lip liner can help you avoid going overboard with your lipstick. Using a lip liner to create an outline on your lips will serve as a guide when applying lipstick.
Begin with your cupid’s bow and trace an X on your lips, tracing a small “V.” To create an outline on your lips, trace your natural lip line. Lining your lips will help you define and accentuate your lips, as well as provide you with a guideline to follow when applying lipstick.
- For everyday use, choose a lip liner that is close to the colour of your lips.
- Lip liners that match your lipstick can also be used to enhance the colour of your lipstick.
Pro Tip: To contour your lips, use a lip liner that is darker than the lipstick.
#3 Put on the lipstick
The way you apply lipstick here varies depending on the type of lip product you’re using.
The three major types of lipstick are as follows:
- Bullet Lipstick
- Liquid Lipstick
- Lip Gloss
Lipsticks are also classified according to their finish, such as matte, satin, metallic, and so on. The application of various types of lipstick varies.
This are various types of lipstick available for Makeup
1. The Classic Bullet Lipstick
The pioneer of lipstick, introduced by French perfume in 1884, took the coloured cosmetic industry by storm. Bullet lipsticks have charmed many women, men, girls, and boys all over the world for generations. As the beauty industry evolves and people become more conscious of the ingredients and products they use on their skin, the Lush Moist Matte lipstick by Kiro is here to lead the way toward Clean Beauty.
- Apply the Lush Moist Matte Lipstick to the centre of your upper lip. Dab the product on the centre of your lip, staying within the lip liner’s traced line. Blend the product into the rest of the lips with your finger or a lipstick brush. This will give your lips a subtle depth.
- To achieve defined curves and edges on your lips, apply the lipstick from the centre of your lips to the corners, staying within the lines.
While many bullet lipsticks are criticised for not being long-lasting or matte-finish, others for being extremely drying, and others for providing patchy application, the Lush Moist Matte Lipstick has a super creamy and smooth formula that ensures long-lasting flawless lips every time. This lipstick is long-lasting, smudge-proof, highly pigmented, and moisturising, allowing you to show off your healthy, plump, and beautiful lips. All-day, every day!
Pro Tip: To achieve a clean, classy look, blot the excess lipstick off your lips with a tissue.
2. The Liquid Lipstick
Like a fine wine, the evolution of lipstick has only gotten better. Liquid lipstick is a no-nonsense lipstick that will get the job done right. The Non-Stop Airy Matte Liquid Lipstick is here to make your dreams of everyday liquid lipstick come true. It contains Avocado and Apricot Oil, which moisturises and hydrates your lips every day. It is long-lasting and believes in the “No Mark” policy, so sip, bite, or kiss and the lipstick will remain on your lips (transfer-proof). This everyday lipstick is perfect for anyone who likes Rustic Reds, Pretty Pinks, and Natural Nudes.
The application of liquid lipstick can be difficult for beginners because some liquid lipsticks are unforgiving, leaving little to no room for error. Because of its unforgiving, quick-dry formula, liquid lipstick can be scary. People frequently make mistakes when attempting to apply it in a hurry.
- Because our road map is already marked with lip liner, you can apply the liquid lipstick at your leisure. Apply the lipstick from the centre of the top lip to the corners, following the trace to create a plump, defined lip. Do the same thing with your lower lip.
- The most common error people make after applying liquid lipstick makeup is pressing their lips together. DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT. If you press your lips together, the lipstick will become patchy. Lipstick makeup will dry faster or slower in different areas of the lips depending on the application time. The wet patch will cling to the areas that are already dry and set, creating a patchy appearance. Don’t press your lips together until they’re completely dry.
Pro Tip: Apply a small amount of highlighter to the centre of your lips after they have dried to create an ombre lip effect.
3. Lip Gloss
Since its introduction into the industry, the gloss has been stealing the hearts of girls. Everyone wants to preserve those luscious, plump, and gleaming lips. Lip glosses are clear liquid formulas that are applied over lipstick to create an ultra-shiny effect on the lips. Lip lacquers were introduced to the audience as an evolution of the lip gloss range. Kiro’s Super Butter Lip Lacquer is highly pigmented, so you don’t need to wear lipstick or lip liner for any colour. It’s super pigmented, ultra moisturising, and packed with the goodness of five different kinds of butter to keep your lips plump, moisturised, and hydrated: moisturising murumuru butter, healing mango butter, hydrating cupuacu butter, restorative cocoa butter, and softening shea butter. Made with natural ingredients to create kinder products for your lips and skin.
The application would be straightforward, similar to that of liquid lipstick makeup.
- Starting with freshly moisturised lips using the applicator, start your bottom lip line your lip from corner to corner and then fill in the lips.
- Apply from the centre of the upper lips to the corner of the mouth.
- You can take your time filling in your lips because the finish is ultra-shiny and glossy. You can blend the product around your lips by pressing your lips together and then wiping away any mistakes with a tissue.
