I’m a dedicated tinted lip balm wearer and I’m foraying into the big scary pigmented world of lipstick and I just don’t understand it…How do you eat or drink without getting it everywhere? It’s all over my cups, my teeth, just a mess. I apply and do the blotting where you press your lips on a tissue until it doesn’t leave any more marks. Please give me your advice lipstick masters.
I’m no master but I’ve never really had an issue with transferring bc I like using watery lip tints instead of lipsticks. They’re completely transfer proof for me once they dry down so I don’t worry about leaving a mark anywhere and still have color to my lips. The only issue with this is that your lips shouldn’t be dry as the color settles in your wrinkles and just looks unflattering. Other times I use a certain liquid lipstick. It’s branded as a “lip cream” and it’s by Flower Knows from their strawberry rococo series. It’s coverage/pigment is enough to hide the wrinkles when I get dry lips but the formulas also thin enough to transfer minimally. One other lip product I use is the Clarins lip oil. I find that after a few seconds, it dries down enough to transfer minimally as well.
