The festive season is the perfect time to show off bold, beautiful lips that last through every celebration. Whether you’re dancing the night away, indulging in sweets, or simply enjoying the vibrant energy of the festivities, the last thing you want to worry about is touch-ups or fading lipstick. At Moira Beauty, we believe in helping you achieve the perfect pout that stays put. Here are some pro hacks to make your lipstick last longer and make your lips look fuller, featuring our must-have lip products.

1. Prep Your Lips: Hydration is Key

Before applying any lipstick, it’s essential to prep your lips properly. Dry, flaky lips can cause your lipstick to wear off quickly and unevenly. Start with a gentle exfoliation using a lip scrub or a soft toothbrush to remove dead skin cells. Follow up with a nourishing lip oil, like our Glow Getter Hydrating Lip Oil. Infused with apricot oil, coconut, and jojoba, this lip oil will lock in moisture, making your lips soft and supple—a perfect canvas for long-lasting lipstick.

2. Prime for Perfection

A good primer is the secret weapon for any makeup look, and lips are no exception. Before applying your lipstick, use a thin layer of foundation or concealer on your lips to neutralize your natural lip color and help your lipstick stay vibrant for longer. You can also use Moira's Lip Bloom Lipstick Pencil to outline and fill in your lips before applying lipstick, creating a base that grips the color and prevents feathering.

3. Matte Lipsticks for Long-Lasting Wear

If you want your lipstick to stay put all day and night, opt for a matte formula. Our Matte Liquid Lips are a game-changer for long-lasting wear. These highly pigmented liquid lipsticks go on creamy and dry to a matte finish, ensuring your lips stay flawless through every festivity. The special spatula applicator hugs all the contours of your lips, ensuring even application in just one swipe.

For a bolder festive look, try shades like Royal (a classic deep red) or Dusk (a striking berry tone). These shades are perfect for making a statement and complementing any festive outfit.

4. Double Up: The Layering Technique

For extra staying power, try layering your lipstick. Start with a layer of your favorite Lip Divine Liquid Lipstick shade, blot it lightly with a tissue, then dust a little translucent powder over your lips. Follow up with a second layer of lipstick. This hack not only extends the wear time but also ensures a smooth, even application.

5. The Glossy Illusion for Fuller Lips

Want to make your lips appear fuller? A touch of lip gloss can work wonders. After applying your matte lipstick, dab a little Gloss Affair Lip Gloss onto the center of your lips. The high-shine finish will catch the light, creating the illusion of fuller, plumper lips. Shades like Honey Bunny and Raspberry Red are perfect for adding that extra dimension without overpowering the lip color underneath.

6. Highlight Your Cupid’s Bow

To further enhance the fullness of your lips, use highlighter makeup on your cupid’s bow (the “V” shape at the center of your upper lip). Our Sun Glow Face & Body Highlighter can add just the right amount of shine to make your lips look more defined and voluminous. This quick step will instantly elevate your festive makeup look.

7. The Power of Lip Liner

A well-applied lip liner is essential for making your lips appear fuller and ensuring your lipstick doesn’t bleed. To overline your lips for a plumper look, use your favourite Lip Liner in a shade slightly darker than your lipstick. Focus on the center of your lips, overlining slightly, and blend the edges with a brush to avoid harsh lines. This will create a fuller pout while still looking natural.

8. Seal the Deal: Lock It In

After applying your lipstick, set it with a makeup setting spray like our Microdot Setting Spray. This not only locks in your makeup but also adds a dewy, fresh finish, perfect for the festivities. With a quick spritz, your lipstick is sure to last all day and night, no matter how much you eat, drink, or celebrate!
