 Here are 10 lipstick secrets from the French to help you beat the summer heat

1. Choose Long-Lasting Formulas: 

French women like lipsticks with long-wearing, non-bleeding formulas that withstand power and humidity.

 

2. Hydrate First:

Apply a hydrating lip treatment or balm before lipstick to prevent dryness and breaking.

 

3. Matte Over Gloss:

Matte lipsticks will always win out over glosses, which can be a disaster when lipsticks melt.

 

4. Use Lip Liners: 

A lip liner defines the lips and keeps lipstick from feathering and fading.

 
5. Layering Technique: 

Apply a thin layer of lipstick, blot with a tissue, and repeat. This layering trick helps the color stay longer.

 

6. Solid Colors:

 Bright reds, corals, and pinks are big in summer. They pop against sun-kissed skin.

 

7. Blot the Shine: 

If your lipstick is shiny due to sweat, gently blot it with a tissue to look more polished.

 

8. Pack it Up:

 Carry a small beauty bag with your lipstick, a lip brush, and a mini mirror for quick touch-ups throughout the day.

 

9. Exfoliate Often:

 Use a gentle lip scrub to buff your lips, so your lipstick has a smooth surface to adhere to.

 

10. Be Natural:

French women tend to go for a more natural look. Choose lipsticks that enhance your natural lip color for a perfect look.
