Transform your favorite lipstick into a long-lasting lip stain with this simple technique:
- Application: Apply a pigmented lipstick to your lips. Choose a shade you love and that offers good color payoff.
- Setting Time: Allow the lipstick to sit on your lips for a few minutes. This allows the color to adhere to your lips.
- Blotting: Gently blot your lips with a tissue to remove excess lipstick. The key is to leave behind only the stained color. Repeat this process as needed until you achieve your desired intensity.
- Optional Sealing: For even longer-lasting wear, seal the lip stain with a matte lip balm. This will help to prevent smudging and fading throughout the day.
This method, inspired by the "paint and blot" technique, creates a natural-looking lip stain effect. The result is a softer, less intense look than a full lipstick application but with lasting color. Remember to choose a lipstick with strong pigmentation for best results.
