A little lip color goes a long way in boosting your confidence. Our busy lifestyles don’t always allow extra time to re-apply products, so these professional tips on how to prepare your lips for color by exfoliating and hydrating will save you time and heartache.

Some of these tips to prepare your lips for LimeLife lip colors I learned over the years as a makeup junkie and some tips I learned as a Beauty Guide! LimeLife’s official educators, (celebrity) makeup artists James Vincent and Danessa Myricks are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about educating Beauty Guides and LimeLifers!

I’m so thankful for this opportunity to learn from them and to share it with YOU!

EXFOLIATE

The first and most crucial step to prepare your lips for any lip product is to exfoliate. It’s hard to look confident with dry, peeling lips, right? Enduring Lip Colors will stick to your lips, so if there are any dry spots, it will exaggerate it!

A lip/sugar scrub works best, but if all you have is a washcloth or a soft-bristle toothbrush, then use that! Any of those tools will remove the dry skin and get you looking fabulous!

The scrubbing will help stimulate blood flow to make your lips appear fuller, and promote healthier new cell growth underneath. The LimeLife lip scrub has ingredients that are emollient (HOLDS the moisture in), it also has a humectant (PULLS moisture in) to hydrate your lips!

Pro tip: Use a “spoolie” brush (LimeLife’s Classified Brow Tamer #14) to exfoliate your lips! (Thanks, LimeLife educator/makeup artist James Vincent!)

These are the recommended tools for beginners and experts!

Exfoliate in the shower, after the shower, or when you brush your teeth. This allows your lips to “soak” and soften the dry skin cells and makes it easier to remove without injury/damage. Then, your canvas will be clean and smooth, ready for any color you choose!

The bonus is a kissable lip, and your special someone will appreciate it, I’m sure!

Exfoliating is the first professional’s lipstick tip/step to prepare your lips for a long-lasting Enduring Lip Color/Perfect Lipstick.

HYDRATE

The next professional’s tip is to prepare your lips for an Enduring Lip Color is to hydrate your lips! A major cause of colors “bleeding” around the lips is due to fine lines and wrinkles. Fine lines and wrinkles are often a result of age, sun damage, or simply dryness. (A favorite anti-aging serum for all over the face is LimeLife’s Sotoks.)

I use LimeLife’s Eye Arise on my smile lines to prevent wrinkles. (The skin around the mouth and eye area are similar.)

Pro tip: I learned from pro makeup artist James Vincent that LimeLife’s Eye Arise works great ON the LIPS to help smooth out fine lines!

Lesson: Prepare your lips for color with Eye Arise serum! The fine lines plump up and smooth out, with Eye Arise. Since Eye Arise has a humectant, it will PULL moisture in from the air to keep it hydrated all day! So, order some Eye Arise if you don’t have any, and let’s move on to the next step!

Moisturize

After you hydrate and plump up those pesky fine lines around your lips, you’ll need to create a smooth, even surface for your lip color. It’s the “foundation” of a good lip that will last all day!

LimeLife’s Perfect Lip Balm works flawlessly with the professional-grade makeup line.
