The Trick That Will Save Your Lipsticks from Running Out

One disadvantage of wearing makeup everyday is that it makes cosmetics run out faster. Lipsticks usually take the most pressure. Eating, drinking and licking lips make the lip color fade quicker. Hence, we are forced to continue to apply it throughout the day.

The end result is empty lipstick tube within couple of months. There is a trick to preventing this from happening. It is so simple that anyone can do it.

Did you ever notice how the color of lipliner matches the color of lipstick? In fact, the two almost have the same texture.

But usually, lip liners are much cheaper than lipsticks. This is the plus point.

So instead of lipstick, try filling up your entire lips with your favorite pencil lip liner. It will feel slightly dry. However, once you touch it up with some lip gloss, the dryness will get erased and the lip liner color will shimmer and turn creamy like every traditional lipstick. No one will be able to tell exactly what  you are wearing.

So what if you aren't looking for the traditional lipstick color effect? This is what the lip gloss does. If you are looking for matte texture you obviously can't use that thing along with the pencil lip liner. Do not feel disappointed. There is still hope. For matte texture, go for an automatic lip liner of your choice.

One of the best qualities of this specific product is that it is designed to be creamy without any shine. That is why, it is good at imitating matte lipsticks. Never use the lip gloss over it. Otherwise, it will get runny. You will not like the aftermath associated with that.

It is easy to fall in love with lip liners. It is not just because they are affordable. What I have noticed is that they last longer over the lips. Even eating and drinking can't make the color fade just like that.

Can we use eyeshadow in place of lip liner?

Using eyeshadow like lipsticks is not at all new. In makeup rooms of low budget theaters, it has been going on for years. In fact, eyeshadow is a great help in events where blue or green lip color is a must. Yet it can't act like a good alternative. In order for the eyeshadow to work like a lipstick, it must be mixed with creamy lipgloss. But what makes it problematic is that it does not have binding properties. Even lip gloss can't do anything. A little bit of lip leaking forces it to come off quickly.
