Zoë Taylor’s secret to matte lips

Prepare your lips by gently exfoliating them to remove dead skin cells and leave them looking smoother before you apply your lipstick. As a gentle scrub, Zoë applies Nutritive Lip Balm to the lips before gently rubbing with a face mitt.

Before you start your makeup, apply a generous layer of Nutritive Lip Balm to your lips as a mask. Leave on while you make up your complexion and eyes, then wipe off any surplus before applying your lipstick.

Lightly blend a small amount of foundation along your lip line before using a lip pencil to outline your lips.

“I love Sisley lip pencils: ‘Chocolat’ and ‘Ruby’ are my favorites.

Always keep them sharp for clean, precise results.” Use the brush at the end of your Phyto-Levres Perfect pencil to blend the color towards the middle of your lips.

Apply any touch ups or corrections with a cotton pad and a water-based makeup remover such as Eau Efficace. Try not to disguise any slip-ups with a concealer as this may actually accentuate small imperfections rather than cover them up.
