When wiping stubborn matte lipstick using a makeup wipe, your lips might often feel chapped and dry. So, what should you do?
We all love long-lasting lipsticks — they are flexible, delicious-smelling, lightweight, and do not easily smudge, lasting a long time! But matte lipsticks that have such lasting power, cannot be easily wiped off. So, check out some simple beauty hacks that can remove those stunning shades effortlessly from your pout.
Apply olive oil or coconut oil to your lips
Matte lipsticks consist of pigments that may lead to dry patches. A nutritional oil like olive or coconut can prevent your lips from getting dry and irritated. Just dab a small amount of oil on your fingertips and massage gently over your lips. And consider using a jade roller.
Use micellar water
Micellar water is mild and not as harsh as makeup wipes, and using it on your lips will leave them feeling hydrated. It is prepared using micelles, tiny balls of cleansing oil molecules infused in water. The micelles soak all the dirt and oil without making the skin dry and help remove the color too.
Use Vaseline
Smear Vaseline all over your lips and allow it to sit for a while, then gently wipe it off using a wet washcloth and repeat the process until you have succeeded at removing all the lipstick.
Apply lip balm
If you are in a rush and want to quickly change your lip color or remove it completely, consider using a lip balm. Much like Vaseline, apply the lip balm, and allow it to sit for a while, then wipe it off.
Consider using a lip scrub.
To remove that lip color, try using a lip scrub. It will not just remove your stubborn lipstick from the day, but its lip-nourishing formula will leave your pout feeling soft and pink.
Use a toothbrush
If nothing seems to work for you, and you still have some color patches on your lips, grab a toothbrush and use it to gently scrub off the lip color. It will help you completely remove the stubborn residue and make your pout squeaky clean. Follow up with a nourishing lip balm to nicely moisturize your lips.
