Step-by-Step Guide to Using Powder Blush as Lipstick
Using your favorite blush as a lip color is a great way to coordinate your makeup look. Here's how to do it:
- Prepare your lips: Ensure your lips are smooth and moisturized before applying blush. Use a lip balm if needed to prevent dryness.
- Choose a Blush: Select a powder blush that you'd like to wear on your lips. A neutral, dusty-pink color like "M'lady" works well for a natural look.
- Apply with a Finger:
- Gently tap a small amount of blush with your finger. This helps you control how much color goes on your lips.
- Focus on the center of your lips: Start applying the blush to the middle part of your lips.
- Blend Towards the Edges: Blend the blush from the center outwards to the edges of your lips to evenly distribute the color.
- Seal and Moisturize:
- Transparent Lip Balm: Apply a transparent lip balm, such as Rallye Balm, over the blush to moisturize the lips and set the color.
- Lip Gloss: For a glossy finish, use a clear lip gloss instead.
- This step is important, as it can prevent your lips from drying out.
- Sophisticated Look: Top with a transparent lip balm or gloss for a more sophisticated look.
