A lip tint is arguably the quickest and easiest way to give your lips a beautiful pop of color. They generally look more subdued that a lipstick; rather, they deliver a flattering tint that gives lips a natural-looking flush that mimics sun-blushed skin or a love-shy flush.
And the best part is that many lip tints are formulated with a cream consistency that melts into the lips and leaves behind a healthy-looking tint that wears effortlessly and channels lived-in, natural beauty.
If you want to get the most from lip tints, then it makes sense that you learn more regarding the application process. Before applying lip tint, it’s essential to prep your lips with hydrating lip oil. Applying a coat of skincare-powered lip oil helps ensure your lips look and feel smoother, plumper, and ready for lip tint.
Once you prime your lips for lip tint, it is time to choose the perfect color to complete your look. When deciding on the best lip color to settle on, you should consider applying your eye makeup first, then choosing a tone that will beautifully complement the eye look you have created. The good thing about using a lip tint is that it can be used so subtly and look gorgeous together with a wide range of makeup looks.
The beauty of using a lip tint lies in the ease that you can apply them with. Whether you’re using your fingers or a brush, lip tints require less precision compared to a lip liner or lipstick and can be tapped on the lips in seconds for an easy pop of color.
With your fingers, you can create a blotted effect that lightly tints your lips, while painting on a lip tint with a lip brush gives your lip look more definition by mimicking the look of using a lip liner.
To apply a lip tint using your fingers, gently warm up the formula with your index finger then tap onto the center of your lips. Ensure you deposit lip tint onto your top and bottom lip and be careful not to smear any product outside of your lip brush.
If you would like to apply lip tint with a brush, take an angled brush and pick up a small amount of lip tint, then paint it onto your lips as you would with a tube of lipstick.
