Yes, it is true that some kind of lip colour is essential always. Be it glosses, lipsticks, or liquid lippies. Despite the fact that lip colours are so common, though, lip-care is often neglected by us. Now that we live in the age of boldly pigmented lipsticks which are dry and matte, not paying attention to the upkeep of our pout is criminal.
Milani Keep It Sweet Sugar Lip Scrub
Piling on the lip balm will do you no good unless you have a smooth surface, to begin with. This delicious (but overpriced) lip scrub does exactly that, creating an even finish to your lips, removing flakes and dead skin with the sugar particles in it.
Philosophy Kiss Me Tonight Intense Lip Therapy
A rich lip moisturiser, this mousse-y gel-like cream lip balm sinks into your skin and softens your lips. The ideal in-between when your lip balm is too thick and lip butter too thin, this formula feels luxurious on the lips.
NYX Professional Makeup #THISISEVERYTHING Lip Oil
Lip oils are the new lip balms, as one look at any ‘cool girl’ makeup tutorial will reveal. They are exactly what they sound like, and they nourish your lips while lending a clear, reflective layer of glossiness. If that’s not your thing, then we’re sure applying this before your favourite dry-matte lipstick will be!
M.A.C Lip Conditioner Hydratant
Almond oil, Vitamin E, avocado extract, and even Vitamin A are present in this pre-lipstick essential. An excellent way to prep your lips, this product also happens to come from a company known for its brightly-pigmented but drying lipsticks, making us have a lot of expectations from it!
Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream Lip Protectant Stick Sunscreen SPF 15
Your lips do need to be shielded from the sun’s harmful rays. Applying a good lip sunscreen is worth considering if you experience pigmentation on your lips, or have really dry lips. This is because the sun’s rays can wreak extra havoc when your skin is already dry and damaged.
