When wearing a mask has become a natural habit and part of life, it is easy to forget some beauty details. Have you recently noticed that when meeting friends for dinner and taking off your mask, your lips, which have been neglected for a long time, appear dry and tired? Forgetting to keep your lips moisturized in daily life is a common “aftermath” issue of wearing a mask.
When you work with a mask on, you may forget to drink water. The lips are the most direct “reflection area” of dehydration in the body. Don’t think that drinking a cup of bubble tea or other beverages can replenish water. The age-old advice of “drink more water” is the key! On days when you wear a mask frequently, before applying lip balm, try drinking a glass of water first. Water has a “lip awakening” effect, and then apply lip balm for a double moisturizing effect.

Lip balm is like the magic of lip film, it can lock in the moisture of the lips, so besides touching up your makeup with a mask, drink water first, and observe whether the lips are dry, then apply lip balm before applying makeup to the lips, so the effect of lip makeup will be better.
In addition, in order to reduce the chance of staining the mask with lip makeup, you can choose a matte texture lipstick that is not easy to smudge. When applying, here’s a little trick for everyone: apply lip balm first, lightly blot with a tissue, then apply lipstick, lightly blot with a tissue again, and apply multiple layers of lipstick, this way the lip makeup effect will last longer.
If you also use loose powder for setting makeup, you can lightly press loose powder on your lips after applying lipstick. Even if you wear a mask afterwards, it can reduce the problem of lipstick smudging. At least after removing the mask, you will find that the lipstick lasts longer.
