How to Apply Liquid Lipstick for a Full Glam Look

A liquid lipstick is often a go-to when it comes to bold lips. If you have decided to wear a bold lip choosing a high pigment lip color should be your first step. Designed for high pigment in one swipe Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Drama Ink Liquid Lipstick is formulated with an ultra-thin water-in-oil emulsion which coats lips in high impact color whilst remaining lightweight and comfortable for hours on end. As the product applies effortlessly thanks to its innovative applicator there is no need to apply multiple layers of product meaning you can avoid any uncomfortable patchiness and cakiness. Creating and wearing a bold lip doesn’t need to be complicated. To create a full glam look using Lancôme L’Absolu Rouge Drama Ink:

Step 1. On clean, dry lips apply the liquid lipstick using the patented curved applicator. Use the edge of the applicator to line the outside of the lips as though it were a lip liner. For best results apply Absolue Nourishing Lip Balm Honey-In-Rose prior to application and blot off any excess.

Step 2. Use the applicator to apply product to the remaining areas of the lips.

Step 3. Allow product to dry down to a beautiful semi-matte finish. Keep the rest of your makeup minimal to ensure the bold lip remains the focus.

Step 1. Ensure lips are smooth and hydrated. For best results apply Absolue Nourishing Lip Balm Honey-In-Rose prior to application and blot off any excess.

Step 3. Blend outwards towards the edge using a brush or fingertip.
