How to use the lip stains?

Post by Sophiebaby » Thu Apr 27, 2017 5:46 pm

Hi all, I just got my first SN haul yesterday and I'm in love with all the lippies! But I'm struggling with how to use the lip stains. They dry faster than I can spread them and end up looking patchy. Is there a way to use these in order to get an even yet sheer wash of color?

Thanks!

It is best when lips have recently been exfoliated and they are dry. (In the real world this is not always possible! LOL)

I remember having to dab it on rather than try putting a little on and spreading it with my lips. It was a little more even that way.

Thank you Jen, I did try that but those little dabs dry so fast that I struggle with getting an even wash even with careful dabbing.
