Wear it with confidence: A lipstick is something that can make or break your entire look. So, when you opt for a bold lipstick colour make sure you wear it with confidence. Not only will it make you look like a boss lady but it will also make you feel bold and brave.

Prevent creasing of lips by priming them correctly. But how do you do it? After the scrubbing and moisturisation, apply thin layer of translucent power over lips. Of course, if you have a lip primer on you, use it instead.

Once you’ve applied the lip colour, blot your lips with a tissue paper. This will take off excess oils and all the chances of your lip colour slipping off. You may repeat the steps of application and blotting to make your lip colour more pigmented.

Even if your lip product comes with a good wand, we would highly recommend you use a lip brush instead. It will allow you more control. Trust us on this one.

Moisturising is important, we can’t stress enough. However, its importance amplifies when you’re wearing a bold lip colour. Due to the larger amount of pigments in a bold lip colour, the fine lines on the lips become more prominent. Moisturising the lips beforehand will help to make your lip colour last longer.

If you’ve been sporting a matte lip look often, your lips are probably dried out. It’s a good idea to exfoliate the lips to remove the dried skin cells. You can use a gentle lip scrub to do so. If you don’t have that in hand, gently brushing the lips over with your toothbrush does the trick. Exfoliating your lips will give an even canvas for the lip colour.

Who says you can't pull off that deep berry shade? You might think that only certain colours suit your skin tone but unless you try them out, you won't know what might and might not work for you. The best thing to do is to think of celebs who have the same skin tone as yours and go through their Instagram handles to see what lipstick shades they've opted for.

It's very easy to make mistakes when you're applying lipstick. And you wouldn't want to end up looking like the Joker from Batman would you? So, the best thing to do is to apply a lip liner before you fill in your lips with the lipstick. The liner will ensure that there's a neat line and will make your lips look more defined.

When you're opting for bold lipsticks, remember that mattes look the best. If you opt for creamy formulas, they'll smudge pretty easily and then it'll end up ruining your look. And there isn't anything worse than smudging your lipstick everywhere. So, opt for matte shades that will stay in place.

Not everyone has an extra steady hand so there are chances that you'll end up making a mistake when you apply your lipstick. You might end up drawing out of the lines or you might end up applying lipstick over your lip line. Use a q-tip and some foundation or a concealer to tidy up so that you end up with a neat and clean look.
