To make your lipstick stay all day or night, you’ll need to follow careful prep. Using a lip scrub to scour away dead skin is an essential step. Proper exfoliation is the key to creating a smooth surface for lipstick to glide onto. A hydrating lip balm should always follow exfoliation, as a balm will restore moisture and plumpness to your lips. M.A.C COSMETICS Lip Scrubtious - Sweet Vanilla and M.A.C COSMETICS Lip Conditioner - Lip Conditioner (Tube) are the perfect pair to give you an irresistible pout.

The next step in applying your matte lipstick properly is to pair your lipstick with a closely matching lip liner. M.A.C Cosmetics Lip Pencil prevents smudging and increases longevity. To make your lipstick last longer, we also strongly recommended using a lip primer such as M.A.C COSMETICS Prep + Prime Lip. Then, apply your lipstick with a brush such as the Real Techniques Lip Colour & Blur for precision and control. Applying translucent powder on top of your lip colour can also help set a matte lip and remove any trace of a satin finish.
