Nothing can change up your style or offer as instant a confidence boost like a new shade of lipstick. But any true lipstick lover knows that the question of “how to remove lipstick” — especially long-wear lipstick — is no easy feat.
Of course, the idea of finding the perfect lippy formula that can outlast a marathon of hours at work and social outings is appealing. After all, having to reapply lipstick every hour or after you eat can get annoying really fast.
It’s no wonder that bright matte lipsticks have been trending recently — not only do they look amazing, but they can last for hours if applied correctly. The only problem is,
what are you supposed to do if you want to switch things up throughout the day and don’t actually know how to remove lipstick? It quickly becomes obvious that the damn thing won’t come off,
no matter how hard you try to make it budge with that expensive makeup remover (it’s supposed to take off everything, but it never does).
The other day, I was getting ready to go out after work and wanted to ditch the boring pink lip stain that I chose to wear during the day and decided to try on something bolder for the evening.
I didn’t factor in how much time it would take to remove my super pigmented lip stain and struggled to erase all traces of the product. It was a fail to say the least,
and I knew that there had to be some kind of shortcut out there to making the removal process easier. Don’t make my mistake and do yourself a favor by following these hacks to get stubborn lipstick off in seconds.
