Lip primer and sealer
Lip primer and sealer: Keep your lip colour looking flawless all day (or night)
Rock your favourite statement lip without having to worry about smudging or bleeding. Priming and sealing your lips is a game changer when it comes to long-lasting lip colour. Whether you’re going for a vampy lip on a night out with friends, or a sensual red for a romantic dinner date – you can make sure your lipstick won’t budge.
Lip primer
A lipstick primer acts as a base for your lipstick or gloss. It smooths out fine lines and dry skin, creating an even, soft and luscious canvas for your favourite lip colour. It also creates a barrier between lipstick and your lips, preventing your skin’s natural oils from breaking up the colour.
How to use a lip primer:
- Start off with clean and dry lips for the best lip primer results.
- Apply the primer as you would a lip balm. Try to go for one even layer – applying too much could cause a bit of flaking later in the day.
- Now that you’ve got the perfect canvas, it’s time for the exciting part – the colour! Start off by lining your lips with your favourite lip pencil.
- Lastly, apply lipstick or gloss, and enjoy the freedom! Your colour will stay put all day, without bleeding or feathering.
Lip sealer
Another way to boost your lip colour’s longevity is to use a sealer. Think of it as a topcoat for your lips, or a lipstick fixer. It sets your lips and makes any lip product transfer-proof. That means you won’t have to worry about your favourite crimson shade leaving marks on your white top.
How to use a lipstick sealer:
- Apply your lipstick like you usually do.
- Gently pat off any excess product with a tissue. This prevents build-up, which could cause an uneven appearance or flaking.
- Now it’s time to seal! Open your mouth slightly and apply the lip sealer in an even layer. It usually comes with a brush, making it easy to draw precise lines. You want to overline your lipstick slightly to ensure the edges stay perfectly put.
- Wait until dry. Now you’ve got a flawless, transfer-proof lip colour that’ll last all day!
Perks of prepping and sealing your lips
- You don’t have to constantly check and re-apply your lipstick. If you’ve got a long and busy day ahead but still want to look snazzy, priming and sealing your colour will save you lots of mirror time.
- Lips with fine lines or wrinkles are more prone to feathering. That’s why using lip primer for older lips can be especially helpful. After all, getting older doesn’t mean you should retire your favourite lipstick shades – just find the best lip primer to fill in lines and your lipstick will look amazing.
- Dark, vampy or bright red shades can easily bleed outside the lip line – find the best lip primer to stop lipstick bleeding. If you’re a statement lip lover, priming and sealing are a must.
- Your lipstick will be more true-to-colour. If your lips have a darker pigment, but you want your bright lipstick shade to really pop, go for a primer with a beige colour to it. It’ll provide a neutral base and your lipstick will show up brighter.
- Plumping lip primer can make your lips fuller. Feel the tingle and enjoy juicy, long-lasting lip looks!
- You’ll have kiss-proof lips. Your significant other might not be exactly thrilled about you sharing your lipstick. Priming and sealing will ensure that it stays on your lips only.
Whether you’re getting ready for a wild night out, or you just want to chow down on a juicy burger without ruining your lipstick, priming and sealing can make all the difference. Explore Notino’s selection and find the best lipstick sealer and primer for you!
