One usually has the choice between solid and liquid textures, however please bare in mind that different textures lead to different effects. By achieving a matte finish, solid products usually make you look dressier than liquids can ever do. If you want your lips to shine and stand out, liquid textures might help.

Follow the professional make up artists and apply solid textured products with a special lip brush. This way you are in more control over the things you do and it makes you apply just the right amount of colour, which will lead to a better result looking as if the professionals have done it.

Liquid products usually come with an applicator however it is still advisable to choose a lip brush. Just in case you don’t have one on hand, use the one being attached to the product. Then correct mistakes and remove excess texture with your fingertips for nice and shiny lips.
