- Lip brushes are designed to apply lip cosmetics with precision and to prevent them from smudging. A long handle provides optimum control, and a curved, tapered bristle provides better precision. This results in even, feather resistant budge-proof application. An even thin layer of lipstick always looks better and sophisticated than one applied with a bullet. You can also layer your lipstick with the help of a lip brush to improve its staying power.
- If you are mixing several shades and/or formulas, you absolutely need a lip brush. Using a lipstick brush to apply lip colour may result in lipstick lasting longer because less product layers are used in each application.
- In addition, a lip brush is often used to blend lip liner and lipstick together on the lips. Some people who use these brushes do not even need to use a lip liner because the application tends to be very precise. A lip liner however is still needed to give perfect shape to the lips and to prevent a lipstick from bleeding. This application technique also prevents the lip liner from looking too severe and harsh, thus giving more natural appearance to the lips. As we all know blending makeup is the only way to make it look soft and natural, professional looking but not over the top.
