Q. I always wear my lipstick down flat and then I think it does not go on as well. Is there a correct way to apply your lipstick from a lipstick tube?
A. I once went to a wedding shower where we all played a game about how we wore down our lipstick tubes. In the game, the way you wore down your tube told something about your personality, in reality all it tells is how you apply your lipstick. I researched your question and found that the Covergirl division of Procter and Gamble had suggestions for how to apply and how to not apply your lip color. According to Covergirl, if your lipstick ends up being flat as a pancake on top it means you most likely apply your color to your lower lip first, then rub your lips together to get the color on the top lips. If you are without a mirror this is a safe way to put on your lip color but it will almost always leave your outer mouth corners bare. If on the other hand your tube ends up with a sharp point you most likely are pressing the lipstick between your lips and rubbing it back and forth. This will make your lip color uneven and it will make your expensive lipstick more likely to break. The perfect way to apply your lip color from a tube of lipstick is to apply color to both your top and bottom lips evenly. If you do this your lipstick should maintain the slightly pyramid shape it starts with when it’s new, your color will go on your entire mouth and be even and you will not damage your tube. For the very best lip coverage, apply lipliner to a relaxed mouth, then open your mouth slightly and say “Oh” apply your lipstick evenly to top and bottom lips and with your mouth in the “Oh” pattern you’ll be able to reach the entire lip surface. I hope this helps because I am so upset when I end up breaking a perfect tube of lipstick it’s worse than breaking a nail!
