Lip tint application is easy and versatile! You can achieve a natural, subtle look or build up the color for a more intense effect.
Applying Lip Tint: Two Main Methods
There are two primary ways to apply lip tint, offering different finishes and levels of precision:
1. Direct Application:
- Begin by applying the lip tint directly from the applicator to the center of your bottom lip. This method, as noted in Tatcha's guide and other sources, allows for precise placement and control over color intensity.
- From the center, gently spread the tint outwards towards the edges of your bottom lip, ensuring even coverage.
- Press your lips together to transfer the tint to your upper lip. This ensures a natural and symmetrical application.
2. Fingertip Blending:
- As mentioned in this Reddit thread, you can apply a small amount of lip tint to your fingertip.
- Gently dab the tint onto your lips, starting from the center and blending outwards. This method provides a softer, more diffused look.
- Press your lips together to even out the color.
Enhancing Your Lip Tint Application: Tips and Tricks
- Prep your lips: For a smoother, more even application, consider prepping your lips with a lip balm. This tip is suggested by several online sources including one Reddit discussion.
- Layer for intensity: Build up the color gradually by applying multiple thin layers.
- Experiment with placement: Try applying lip tint only to the inner part of your lips for a more natural "bitten lip" look.
- Multi-use potential: Some lip tints can be used as blush or even eyeshadow!
