這些理由告訴你:爲什麼你的口紅不持久

1. You Instantly Rub Your Lips Together After Application:

1. 抹完口紅後立馬用手抹勻：

This action seems to be simply human nature. We apply lipstick or gloss and our immediate reaction is to rub our lips together to blend and even out the product. In actuality, this move emulsifies our lipstick, which instantly makes it less bright and thins it out. If you can get out of this habit, you will find that the wearability of your lipstick is up by about 100 percent. Apply your lip product and resist the urge to rub your lips together.

這一行爲看起來只是人的本能。塗完口紅或脣釉後，我們立馬就會用手抹勻。事實上，這一行爲會乳化我們的口紅，立即使其變得稀薄、不再那麼鮮亮。如果改掉這一習慣，你就會發現口紅的持久性達到了百分百左右。塗完口紅後，請剋制自己抹勻的衝動！

2. Your Lips Are Dry and Scaly:

2. 你的嘴脣乾燥、脫皮：

There are products on the market that will help with this problem and they are not traditional lip balms. Most often, lip balms and chapsticks simply provide a waxy coat that protects the lips and does nothing to actually get rid of dry flaky lip skin. Lip scrubs are a great way to instantly see a difference in the texture of your lips. Last week, I tried a miracle product that worked wonders to get my lips back into perfect health after a long Winter. This groundbreaking treatment is like a face mask for your lips, that feels tingly and delightful. Leave on for a few minutes and then wipe off to reveal smooth silky lips perfectly ready for long-lasting lipstick.

市場上有些產品能幫助解決這一問題，但這些產品並不是傳統意義上的潤脣膏。大多數情況下，潤脣膏只是提供了一種保護嘴脣的蠟膜，實際上並不會解決嘴脣乾燥脫皮的問題。脣膜能減淡嘴脣細紋，有立竿見影的效果。上週，我用了一個很神奇的產品，讓我的嘴脣在長冬過後重又柔嫩飽滿，十分神奇。這一突破性的產品就像是脣部面膜，讓人感覺愜意舒心。塗完後過幾分鐘再撕掉，這樣光滑柔嫩的嘴脣就能讓口紅持久哦。

3. You are Only Wearing One Lipstick:

3. 一次只塗一種口紅：

I am a big fan of at least three lip products at a time. Lipliner, lipstick and gloss is the ultimate combination to be sure that you have armed your lips with the most color possible. It takes mere minutes to apply these three products, and even if you are the type of person that is doing this in the rearview mirror, it's worth the extra minute to be sure that you won't have to reapply for hours.

我一次至少要塗三種護脣品。脣線筆、口紅和脣釉是終極套餐，能確保嘴脣顏色最美。只需幾分鐘即可塗好這三種產品，即使你是那種照着後視鏡匆匆塗脣膏的人，多用幾分鐘再塗兩種產品也十分值得，因爲之後的好幾個小時你都不用擔心了。

4. You Don't Use Straws:

4. 你不用吸管：

Are people just guzzling down beverages with reckless abandon and demanding lipstick perfection? If you are one of those type of women then rethink how you are drinking your latte or your diet soda. Straws are your friend when keeping your lipstick on perfectly. Is it weird to drink hot coffee with a straw? Maybe. But your lipstick will thank you.

現在的人們是不是都肆無忌地大口喝酒，同時又希望自己的口紅保持完美？如果你是這類人，那你就該重新思考怎麼喝拿鐵或健怡可樂了。吸管能讓口紅處於完美狀態。用吸管喝熱咖啡是不是有點怪啊？也許吧，但你的口紅會感謝你的。
