Our makeup needs often change with the seasons. The cold weather and dry indoor air can make for especially dry chapped lips. However, with a few of these tips, you can ensure your lips are looking their finest with a little extra moisturizing.
Tips to maintain winter perfect lips:
With a few of these beauty tips, you’ll attain your perfect pout and ease any wary-weather apprehensions:
For longer-lasting coverage, apply liner all over the lips. Lip liner tends to have colour pigments that last longer, making itwork as the perfect base. Select a liner that will be either a shade lighter or the same shade as your lipstick, but feel free to experiment with varying shades to achieve subtly different effects.
I recommend using a brush in order to have more control and precision in layering the colour. A layer or two usually does the trick – anymore and you might have a chance of the colour bleeding or smearing.

Through the tissue, brush foundation powder to maximize the staying power of your lip wear. Now you’ve achieved a matte effect. For added bleed protection, take a cotton swab and brush a thin dash of powder on the skin around the lip.
Also add a little shimmer to your cupid’s bow to accentuate the upper lip. A glittery eye shadow also works well for this effect.
Now’s the season for statement colour so grab a playful hue of lipstick and add some colour to your look. Dark shades are also trendy for the colder months so you can’t go wrong with berry-coloured lips. Match your statement shade with your party-ready dress or bold fun heels – go for it and feel confident about mastering this basic, but tricky beauty tip.
