What better excuse to buy more dark liquid lipsticks than fall? With all the apple cider, pumpkin spiced lattes, and hot cocoa you’ll be sipping, you’ll need a liquid lipstick to keep your lip color in place throughout all of those warm beverages.
How To Use Liquid Lipstick Properly?
Never used liquid lipstick before? Don’t worry, we’ve got you. Since liquid lipsticks are meant to stay on for hours, you’ll want to do a little prep beforehand to make sure your lips don’t get totally dried out.
- Gently exfoliate with a washcloth or sugar scrub so that you don’t get any dry flakes that will come off or that you’ll be tempted to bite. Then, moisturize your lips with your most hydrating lip balm. Be sure to let it sink in before you put on your liquid lipstick, else the lipstick may transfer.
- Next, shake the tube. It’s always a good idea to shake it up a bit just in case some of the pigment has settled.
- Then, if you want, use a lip liner in a similar shade before applying your liquid lipstick. The pencil format of a lip liner is a lot easier to maneuver than the doe-foot applicator of most liquid lipsticks, and it can even make your liquid lipsticks even more long-lasting.
- For better control, use your first swipe of liquid lipstick to cover the biggest areas of your lips. Then, when you have less product on the applicator, you’ll be able to outline your lips with more control and precision.
- If you make a mistake, clean up with makeup remover or a bit of concealer. To remove entirely, use a makeup wipe or an oil-based makeup remover or cleanser. You can even use straight-up oil to remove tough-to-budge liquid lipsticks. Jojoba oil is gentle yet will do the trick.

2. ColourPop Ultra Matte Lipstick in Tulle
Unlike the Ultra Satins, the Ultra Mattes are not going to transfer onto your food or drink. In turn, they may be slightly dryer, so be sure to moisturize well before applying.

These lipsticks dry quickly so you won't have to worry about it smudging everywhere. You can even layer them without them getting overly tacky!
