Keep lip color looking smoother with gentle preparation and a comfortable balm.
Lip color tends to apply more evenly when lips feel comfortable. A simple balm can help soften dry-feeling lips; give it a moment to settle before applying lipstick or stain.
If you exfoliate, keep it gentle and occasional. Avoid picking at flakes, which can leave lips feeling more sensitive, and choose a formula that does not make them feel uncomfortable.
For a longer-wearing look, apply lip color in thin layers and blot lightly between coats. The easiest routine is the one that feels good from the first application to the last.
