5 Common Lipstick Mistakes and How to Avoid Them

Before you swipe on that bold lip colour, pause for a moment!

Are you about to make one of the most common lipstick blunders?

It's easy to underestimate the power of a perfectly applied lip, but with just a few adjustments, you can elevate your entire look.

We’ve all been there- from smudging to your favourite lipstick fading away or picking the wrong shade. Even the most confident beauty enthusiasts can stumble into common lipstick pitfalls. And that is completely alright. Because we’ve got you covered.

In this guide, we’ll explore five common lipstick mistakes and, more importantly, how to Flénc up your routine to avoid them. Because with the right approach, your lipstick can be more than just makeup—it can be a powerful tool to express your individuality and confidence.

  • Skipping Lip Prep
  • One of the biggest mistakes is applying lipstick on dry, un-prepped lips. This can lead to uneven application and flaking. Start with exfoliating your lips gently, followed by a hydrating balm.

    For a flawless finish, try Flénc’s Ritzy Glossy Lipstick. Its moisturising texture ensures your lips stay smooth and hydrated, enhancing the colour payoff and longevity. You can also pair it with our waterproof mascara for a complete look that lasts all day.

  • Overlooking Lip Liner
  • Lip liner isn’t just for the ’90s. It's your secret weapon against feathering and bleeding. By lining your lips with a shade close to your lipstick, you create a barrier that keeps the colour in place.

    Pairing Flénc’s Zurich Rubine Red C with a matching liner and our waterproof mascara ensures your bold look stays sharp and defined all day long.

  • Choosing the Wrong Shade
  • Selecting a lipstick shade that clashes with your undertone can throw off your entire look. Opt for shades that complement your natural complexion.

    For those with warm undertones, Flénc’s Milan 4070 C offers a perfect blend of berry pink that brightens your face, while cool undertones can shine with the elegant maroon of Flénc’s Kuwait 4059 C.

    Now picture this: Wouldn’t it be perfect if there was a ready-made shade guide? That would help us identify the perfect lipstick shade according to our skin tone, jewellery and occasion.

  • Not Setting Your Lipstick
  • Failing to set your lipstick can lead to quick fading or transferring. After applying your lipstick, blot with a tissue and dust a light layer of translucent powder over it. This trick locks in the colour and extends its wear.

    With Flénc’s smudge-proof formula, like in the Barcelona 704 C, your lips stay vibrant and intact through any occasion.

  • Neglecting Touch-Ups
  • No matter how long-lasting your lipstick is, touch-ups are crucial. Carry your lipstick with you for quick reapplications, especially after meals.

    Flénc’s lightweight, intensely pigmented formulas make reapplying easy. Hence, ensuring your lips look fresh and polished from day to night without compromising comfort or colour intensity. Not only that, here is a bonus information for you, our long-lasting mascara offers the same flawless finish. Shop it on our website.
