If you’ve ever worn bright lipstick and failed miserably, we get it as we have been there. Here are our failures to how we learnt to wear bright lipstick confidentally.

Our "wearing bright lipstick" failures:

• Our lipstick barely lasted 2 hours
• Within that 2 hours, it somehow managed to stain our teeth as well!
• We are not sure how much to put and suddenly we started looking like we’re trying too hard
• We didn’t know what colour to choose! And it looks totally different on our lips and in the tube!
• We feel so self-conscious, we end up wiping it off as soon as we can. So stressful!!

So we found some great tricks that helped our bright lipstick look good, stay on for much longer and avoid staining our teeth!

• Prepping your lips is key. Ensure that your lips are smooth and well moisturised. This helps the colour go on more evenly too. Dry skin shows up very obviously when you have bright lipstick on. Definitely not a look we are going for!
• Use a lip pencil! Layering your lipstick over your lip pencil will keep the colour from running away onto your teeth and out of your lip line. Our Berrisom Lip Tint Pack serves as a good base to layer your lipstick over.
• Use a lip brush to apply your lipstick instead. This helps you control the amount of lipstick that goes on and the intensity of the colour. Our Berrisom Two Two Lip Bar allows you to control the intensity of the colour so you can wear different shades using just one product!

PS: Don’t be afraid to wear bright lipstick! You’ll look fab, we promise!
