Say goodbye to constantly adding lipstick.
Makeup artist Aino-Sofia Kojonen tells tips for long-lasting lip makeup.
Healthy lips are the starting point for beautiful lip makeup. So you should remember to take care of your lips well in advance.
Exfoliate your lips, remember the lip masks and lip balm in the days before lip makeup.
The make-up artist reminds that the lip balm must be completely absorbed before starting the make-up.

Here’s how to create long-lasting lip makeup:
1. Apply a light layer of foundation on the lips
2. Fix the foundation with a thin layer of powder
Extra tip! If you want to create bigger lips than you actually have, apply concealer to your lips so that the border between the lips and the skin around them is well blurred. Set the concealer with powder.
3. Line the lips with a colorless or colored lip liner
4. Apply the lipstick with a thin synthetic brush. Apply the lipstick first to the edges of the lips and then to the center.
5. You can set the lipstick with powder and then apply another layer of lipstick
Extra tip! If desired, swipe a lip gloss over the lipstick. Add gloss only to the center of the lips, avoid the edges of the lips. The gloss does spread on the entire lip as if by itself.

With these products you can:
Lasting lips are best achieved when priming is done carefully and high-quality products are used.
Oriflame, Giordani Gold Iconic Sculpting pencil, 9.90 e (norm. 15 e), Oriflame. It’s great that there is a colorless lip liner. This can be used with any color lipstick. A great priming product before applying lipstick.
Essence, 8H Matte Comfort Lipliner, 1.80 e, Cocopanda. With this lip liner, you can line your lips very precisely. You don’t even need to add lipstick after the lip liner, because the end result is already super covering and beautiful. The contour lasts a long time on the lips. This became a credit product!
Max Factor Lipfinity Lip Color 24HRS, 17.20 e, Sokos. The lipstick lives up to its name. The product stays on the lips even at the dentist and when working out at the gym. There were no lipstick stains left on the edge of the glass, on the clothes or on the partner’s cheek. Along with the lipstick, there is also a gloss. The shine does not last as long, so you have to add it more often.
Mac, Velvet Blur Lipstick, 31.50 e, Stockmann. Mac’s Velvet Blur Lipstick creates a matte but moisturized look on the lips. Lips feel and look lovely. The lipstick lasts a long time on the lips, but if you eat or drink a lot during the day, you can add lipstick to your lips from time to time, but less often than the basic lipstick.
Catrice, Shine Bomb Lipstick, 4.90 e, Cocopanda. The lipstick glides lightly on the lips. Lips feel moisturized and soft. A pleasant-feeling end result that lasts when the priming has been done well.
Joe Blasco, matte lipstick, 30.50 e, Stockmann. Luxurious, beautiful and durable. The lipstick is richly pigmented, so there is enough color from the first swipe. You can rely on the product’s durability for a long time.
Essence, What The Fake! Plumping Lip Filler, 3.90 e, Lyco. Nice shade and good gloss, not too sticky on the lips. The “bulging” effect is felt as a menthol-like cooling sensation and a slight tingle, although the visible effect is harder to see. Affordable and competent lip gloss.
