Liquid lipstick vs bullet
Liquid lasts longer and is less comfortable; bullet is comfortable and needs reapplying.
Written by Lamyaa Aissi, professional makeup artist, Casablanca.
How to do it
- Choose liquid when reapplication will be difficult — a long event, a wedding, a photographed day.
- Choose bullet when comfort matters or the day is normal.
- Balm the lip well before either, and blot before applying.
- With liquid, apply one coat and let it set completely before deciding whether a second is needed.
The Moroccan adjustment
For a fourteen-hour Moroccan wedding, liquid over a fully lined lip is the combination that survives. Expect it to feel dry by hour six and plan a balm for afterwards.
What goes wrong
Layering liquid lipstick over a coat that has only partly set. It lifts the first layer and goes patchy, and it cannot be fixed without removing everything.
