She applies your lipstick like this and it will last for hours
In her day to day life Dakota prefers to use only mascara, a little concealer and lipstick (no more makeup than necessary), and something that she has in common with her look for events and interviews is that she wears a lot of red lipstick. But how does she make it last so long? Dubroff confesses her secret to us.
She tells us that the main thing is to prepare the lips, you can apply a light layer of lip balm well in advance so that it has time to sit and fully absorb and nourish the lip skin well. If she notices your lips are somewhat dry, the makeup artist recommends using an exfoliant. Once you have cleaned the lips and removed the excess balm, he explains that, 'You have to apply a first coverage of color directly with the lipstick in the center of the lip and press lightly with your fingers outwards to blend the product for the rest of the lip'.
Then, to fix the color, she defines the lips with a pencil of the same shade. Once this is done, she adds another layer of lipstick and presses with a tissue to remove excess pigment. You can repeat this process several times to ensure that the lipstick penetrates and sticks well to the skin.

Dakota shared in an interview some of her beauty secrets, and among them she revealed a tip that her grandmother, actress Tippi Hedren, gave her to optimally apply mascara.
