THIS 3 Step Routine Is All You Need To Ensure Your Red Lipstick Lasts Beyond A Hundred Kisses!

Here's how you can rock a red lipstick look on Valentine's day which lasts all through day and night!

The season of love is finally here! After what felt like the longest January ever, we’ve made it to February, the month of romance, flowers, and of course, the perfect red lip. And let’s be honest, nothing screams Valentine’s Day more than a bold red lipstick. But the struggle? Keeping it in place through all the sipping, snacking, and maybe even a few kisses. Well, don’t worry, bestie, because I’ve got you covered. With just three products and a few easy steps, your red lip will stay flawless from morning coffee to romantic dinner (and everything in between).

Here are all the essentials you will need

1) A water-based red lip tint (not glossy, not creamy but just pure water pigment)

2) A deep red lip liner

3) Your favorite red lipstick

The Secret to a Kiss-Proof Red Lip

Step 1- Prep Those Lips

Before applying anything, moisturize your lips with a good lip balm. Let it sit for a few minutes, then blot off the excess with a tissue. This step ensures your lips stay soft and smooth without making your lipstick slide off.

Step 2- Stain for the Long Haul

Take your water-based lip tint and apply a thin layer all over your lips. Wait a few minutes for it to fully set, then gently blot off the excess. The magic of a water tint is that it deeply stains your lips without feeling heavy, meaning even when the lipstick fades, your lips will still have that gorgeous red hue.

Step 3- Define and Lock It In

Next, grab your red lip liner and carefully outline your lips, slightly overlining if you want a fuller look. Fill in your lips with the liner to create an extra base that will hold onto the lipstick even longer.

Step 4- The Final Touch

Now, go in with your favourite red lipstick and apply it evenly over your lips. For extra staying power, blot with a tissue and reapply another layer. This trick locks in the colour and makes it last forever.

And that’s it! Your red lip is now smudge-proof, transfer-proof, and 100-kiss-proof. So go ahead, sip that wine, steal a few kisses, and enjoy Valentine’s Day without worrying about touch-ups!
