Okay, I’ll stay and explain a bit as to why I hate liquid lipsticks.
There are some who look the same when they leave the house. Their hairstyle is spot on, their selfies and portrait shots pretty much look the same and even after 12 hours have gone by, their makeup hasn’t disintegrated and winged eyeliner is still on fleek! Unfortunately, I’m not one of them.
After having spent an hour or so doing my makeup and hair, I step outside feeling like a boss. Just like in this pic:

It’s only a matter of minutes before I look like someone who got out of home straight from bed. Okay! A little exaggerated but I hope you get the gist. Liquid lipsticks make me feel the same way.
What happens when I go out applying liquid lipsticks:

After I apply them (after a good amount of prepping), I love the look. However, the nightmare begins once I start to eat. It’s like having a heap of dirt attached to my lips. It’s not just the patchiness and that terrible flaky ring line which irks me. The amount of effort that goes for its touch-up can’t be ignored. After having a good time at the restaurant and indulging in heavenly snacks, I don’t want to spend an eternity in the washroom fixing it and my friends lodging a missing report for me. Has this ever happened with you? Like you went to touch-up your liquid lipstick, spent over 15 mins in the washroom and your friends left the place without you? Nope? Not with me too!
I love matte lipsticks and the drying formula but not the one which makes my lips the centre of attraction in a bad way. I have only tried 4 liquid lipsticks till date but that’s only because I can’t stand them anymore. I don’t even have dry lips usually. The only time I face chapped lips is when I’m very sick. I do like the Revlon Ultra matte HD lip colors range because they wear beautifully and don’t dry completely. I also used one shade to show how to wear lipsticks as blush.
Pretty much, the reasons why I hate liquid lipsticks. Too much of a high-maintenance. I’m okay with checking the condition of my lipstick after I’m done eating pizza and fries but doing that every 10 mins..nope, not happening for me. I want to concentrate only on food and the chit-chat session I’m having.
Am I the only one who doesn’t understand the hype around liquid lipsticks? Are you a liquid lipstick lover? Do you worship them? Will you stop visiting my blog now? O_O
