How to prep dry lips for matte liquid lipstick without cracking If your lips tend to look dry under matte formulas, prep is everything. Here is a simple routine that helps your matte liquid lipstick apply smoothly and look even. Step 1: Gently exfoliate (keep it soft, not harsh) Use a soft, damp washcloth or a gentle lip buff to remove loose flakes. Avoid over-scrubbing, which can make lips look drier and more textured under matte color. Step 2: Hydrate and let it absorb Apply a thin layer of a nourishing lip balm or lip butter and let it sit for a few minutes. This gives lips time to drink it in, so the surface feels smoother. Step 3: Blot, then apply Before you go in with matte liquid lipstick, blot off excess balm with a tissue. This keeps the finish matte while reducing the chance of patchiness or cracking. Step 4: Line for structure (optional, but helpful) Trace the lip line and lightly fill in with a coordinating lip liner. This creates an even base and helps your color wear more consistently, especially around the inner lip. Step 5: Apply in thin layers For the smoothest matte look, apply a thin, even layer and let it set. Add a second light layer only where you need more coverage. Over-applying can emphasize texture. Step 6: Comfort top-up (only where needed) If you want extra comfort, tap a small amount of gloss or lip oil at the center of the lips after the matte sets. You will keep the editorial matte effect while adding a touch of softness. Pro tips for a smoother matte finish Avoid applying over very wet balm: It can cause slipping and uneven set. Skip heavy, waxy layers: Thin layers look more refined and feel more comfortable. Refresh the right way: If the lip starts to look dry, press lips together and add a tiny amount of lip oil, then reapply lightly where needed. FAQ Is matte liquid lipstick good for dry lips?
