Use Balms

Using balms is a great way to keep your lips moisturized while you wear matte lipstick. If you don’t have access to balms, Vaseline or an intensive lip moisturizer works as well. Apply these products every few hours when wearing matte lipstick and your lips will be fine. Just remember that taking breaks every so often is helpful for any type of lipstick, matte or not.

Letting your lips dry out can make them crack, and that’s painful and unappealing in anyone. Keeping your lips moist not only helps with color application but also with comfort throughout your day. A little bit of moisture goes a long way!

Drink Water

Hydrating your skin is incredibly important, especially when you wear matte lipstick. Just like with any other moisturizer, drinking water regularly will keep your lips nice and hydrated. Try keeping a glass of water on your desk at work or at home so that you remember to stay hydrated throughout your day. If you find it difficult to drink enough water, add some slices of citrus fruits or cucumbers (full of antioxidants) or add a few sprigs of mint for flavor.
