Prevent Lip Tint from Gathering in the Middle of the Lips with This Method

Dream - Liquid lip tint will fade after a few hours of wear or smudge when exposed to food or drinks.

Water tint leaves a little product in the middle of the lips that looks less natural and messy when it fades.

Even though water tint fades, Sahabat Dream will still get the same look even if it has been applied more than once during activities.

The remaining water tint on the inner part of the lips is caused by uneven application. Usually, water tint is only applied to the inner part of the lips to create an ombre style, then the lips are pressed together to evenly distribute the color.

However, pressing the lips when using water tint actually makes the color more messy after it fades. Beauty Content Creator @celpha_ suggests some ways to make the remaining water tint look neater. Here's how.

1. Applying Water Tint to the Entire Lips

Apply lip balm or lip scrub first before applying water tint. Apply water tint near the edges of the lips first and let it dry without pressing the lips.

Fill the inner part of the lips with water tint and leave it for 1 minute until dry. Blend the color with your fingers for a neater result.

2. Using Lip Tint over Other Lip Products

Use water tint as the darker color for ombre lips, so Sahabat Dream needs to apply other lip products first.

Water tint will not easily fade and fill in the gaps of dry lips when layered with other products.

3. Blending Water Tint with Fingers

No matter how it is applied, blend the water tint with fingers for a neater result. Don't press the lips so that the color doesn't gather only in the middle of the lips after fading.

Don't Choose Wrong, Know the Differences of 3 Lip Tint Textures

Dream - Lip tint can be a choice of lip products when you want a more natural and long-lasting result. Its application is also easier compared to lip cream or lip velvet.

The color of lip tint can spread with just one application on the inner part of the lips and pressing both sides of the lips. The texture of lip tint can also be adjusted according to comfort and lip condition. There are cream, liquid, and gel formulas.

The application result and characteristics of each lip tint texture vary. Here are the differences in lip tint types based on their textures according to Beauty Content Creator, Felita Anthony.

Creamy Texture

Creamy-textured lip tint has higher and more even color pigmentation compared to other textures. The lips also feel more moisturized and glossy when using creamy-textured lip tint, but the color does not last too long.

Liquid Texture

Usually, liquid lip tint is only applied sparingly on the inner part of the lips to create an ombre style. Unfortunately, liquid lip tint often makes the lips dry even though the color lasts a long time.

Gel Texture

Use gel-textured lip tint if you want to get medium pigmentation. The lips can also feel moisturized after using gel-textured lip tint, but the color does not last long.
