3 DIY Lip tints: A natural splash of colour for a perfect pout

Do you dislike heading out without colouring up your lips? While lipsticks have proven to be a favourite for centuries, their versatility makes us want to rely on them always. From playing as a pout enhancer to eyeshadow and to paint your cheeks, they’ve passed multiple tests that have come their way. Have you tried lip tints, yet? You may love them too. They’ve gained momentum for their lightweight texture, their potential to retain shades and plump up your lips for a pretty long time. If you do not have time to dress up like a fashionista, a quick swipe of your favourite hue can do the trick to suggest you’ve put the effort.

Lip tints lend a smooth finish that blends well and can be erased with ease. No, you don’t need a hard-working lip scrub to take off the dye. Do you feel it's not a worth-it choice to make them your best bets in days of Covid? Don’t forget you’ve got virtual meetings and parties lined up. Thank us now for we have curated a list of DIY lip tints to get ready to pout with a natural sheen. Remember to always exfoliate your lips to scrub out dead skin before you dampen it with lip tint. Use 2 tbsp ghee and 1 tbsp powdered sugar to welcome smooth and nourished lips.
