Valentine’s Day is just around the corner but February’s cold weather can play havoc with your lips. Luckily, Lipcote, the original lipstick sealer, has over 50 years experience of creating perfect pouts that look sensational all day and into the evening. So if you fancy puckering up into the wee hours of the night, follow these simple tips to get lips he won’t be able to stop kissing.
? Step 1 Preparation is key. Lips have no natural lubricant so need protecting when it’s cold outside. Apply a nourishing lip balm throughout the day and whatever you do, don’t lick chapped lips – it will only make them worse.
? Step 2 Gently exfoliate your lips every evening using a soft toothbrush. This will get rid of any dead skin, creating a smooth base – totally essential for any shade of lipstick.
? Step 3 Always apply your lipstick using a brush rather than straight from the tube. Not only will this allow you to build up the colour gradually, but you’ll get a much more precise finish and therefore better defined lips.
? Step 4 Remember the classic techniques as they really work. Apply your lipstick, blot with a tissue, then apply again. Then put your finger in your mouth, as this will remove lipstick that would otherwise end up on your teeth.
? Step 5 Don’t forget a finishing sweep of Lipcote. It’s completely transparent so won’t affect the colour of your favourite lipstick at all, but will stop it smudging or transferring onto your glass, your man’s collar………in fact, it will keep your lipstick locked on your lips throughout the evening no matter what you get up to!
Lipcote is kind to the environment as well as your lips. It comes in fully recyclable packaging, has not been tested on animals and contains natural, vegetarian ingredients.
