Gone are the times when bullet lipsticks were so in trend. Now, is the time for liquid lipsticks to make their mark. Unlike other types of lipsticks, liquid lipsticks give you better coverage, stay on for longer and hardly ever smudge, hence, they're super popular these days. But more often than not, we end up with chapped lips or smudged pigments because we don't know how to apply these lipsticks perfectly. So, if you're looking for a perfect liquid lipstick application, here are some tips.

You need to keep in mind that multiple things can go wrong when you apply liquid lipstick and the most common mistake people make is to not prep beforehand. Since most liquid lipsticks have a matte formula, they end up drying your lips. So, make sure to exfoliate and moisturise your lips beforehand so that you don't end up with chapped lips later on.

In case you need to opt for a touch-up (although that's highly unlikely with liquid lipsticks), make sure you use a regular lipstick to do so because using liquid lipstick will just dry out your lips. This way you'll get your pout ready all over again without having to deal with any sort of dryness.

One very important thing to remember is that unlike regular lipsticks, layering liquid lipsticks will not make your lips look flattering. On the contrary, the texture might just make things look all clumpy and weird on your lips. So, if you must absolutely put on some more liquid lipstick, it's best to just redo it completely instead of layering it.

Liquid lipsticks dry up in seconds so you barely have time to correct any errors you might make. So, try to be as precise as possible by using things like a lip-liner to draw on the shape and make it easy for you to fill the colour in. This way you won't go out the lines and there won't be any errors to correct.
