Reddit mentions of Blistex Lip Balm Medex

At night, I use the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask to hydrate my lips while I sleep, then I wake up with super plump and soft lips in the morning. Before I put on any lipstick, I put the Blistex Lip Balm Medex just to keep the moisture in my lips. Now this is where a lot of people maybe differ from me and is a generally unpopular technique, but I do put a tiny amount of foundation on my lips. My natural lip color is fairly pigmented, and because of that it can alter how nude/sheer lipsticks look, so I use whatever foundation I have leftover on my sponge and put it on my lips to combat that. You definitely don't have to if you don't want to; it can be drying on your lips if they're not prepped correctly, but I've been doing it for years and had no issues with it.

I always use a lip liner no matter what type of lipstick I'm using; it just keeps things in place and makes application a lot easier. There are a lot of liquid lipsticks that have a very thin formula and bleed everywhere (i.e. the Fenty Beauty liquid lipsticks), but with a lip liner they shouldn't. I'm currently loving the Dose of Colors lip liners at the moment, but the Sephora Collection Rouge Gel lip liners are a second favorite, and the Wet n Wild Perfect Pout Gel lip liners are a nice option at the drugstore.

The type of lipstick you use also plays a key factor. Obviously, glosses are gonna be harder to maintain and keep from being messy even with a lip liner. I generally gravitate towards bullet lipsticks as I find them to be the most comfortable, but there are some liquid lipsticks on the market that I really love. Here's a list of favorites that I would recommend:

• ColourPop Lux Lipsticks - Very comfy and pigmented lipsticks that last a good amount of time on the lips (for a bullet lipstick that is lol). There is a great shade range in this line, but Appy is my favorite nude lipstick of all time.
  
• Tarte Color Splash Lipstick - I think these are the most hydrating lipsticks I've ever used; every time I wear one my lips feel soft and plump when I take them off. They're not the most longwearing, but boy are they very comfortable.
  
• L'Oreal Rouge Signature, Long Lasting Matte Liquid Lipstick - Great lipstick that is more of a lip stain than a lipstick; very thin formula (so use a lip liner), but the applicator's shape makes it very easy to manipulate, and these are very comfortable on the lips and last great through a meal!
  
• Dominique Cosmetics Liquid Lipsticks: BRO these just released, and idk what compelled me to get them, but I have no ragrets. Probably the most comfortable matte liquid lipstick formula I've ever tried, full pigmentation, minimal transfer, and does not sink into the fine lines on my lips. Very impressed with this formula, and I can't wait for more shades to come out.
  
  And that's all I have to say about that. :)
