The right lipstick can do so much to pull a look together—and it also has the power to keep your face looking fresh and youthful. This makeup product can truly make or break your appearance. Luckily, we’ve gathered some of the best lipstick hacks from TikTok that are sure to make you look younger than ever!
Read on to learn all about the fascinating lipstick tricks that can take years off of your look.
Find the perfect shade
If there’s one lipstick mistake that can instantly age you, it’s choosing the wrong shade for your face. However, when you stick to lipstick colors that complement your skin tone, you’ll be able to maintain a youthful look. Professional makeup artist Jen Cayle Guam offers one suggestion in this area: “Choose sheer colors or those similar to your natural lip tone,” she says.
Luckily, there’s one TikTok lipstick hack that’s perfect for figuring out which shades work best on your lips! Check out this surprising advice from TikTok user @yokenzieb, as demonstrated by Addison Rae:

That’s right, @yokenzieb says your perfect lipliner is actually your eyebrow pencil! The rest of your lip should be colored with the same shade you use for blush (Addison uses her actual blush in the video). Finally, @yokenzieb recommends bringing it all together with lipgloss. “It will always be the perfect lip shade,” she promises. We’re going to have to give this a shot!
Keep your lips hydrated
Hydrating is everything when it comes to keeping your lips looking more youthful than ever. No one wants to walk around with dried, cracked lips. This will instantly age you. That’s why the best thing to do is remember to moisturize, moisturize, moisturize with some lip balm!
“If you don’t use lip balm, your lips will just get more and more chapped,” Ada Hsieh, CEO and Founder of Ada Lip Beauty warns. “Chapped lips are manageable when you keep lip balm on you and use it whenever they feel dry.”
However, one TikTok hack from user @aliceroseglam may be changing the game. Check it out:

Generally, liquid lipstick is notorious for drying out your lips. But @aliceroseglam presents a genius idea: mix your liquid lipstick of choice with some hydrating lip balm to combine gorgeous color and moisturization. Love it!
Contour your face with red lipstick
By now, you’ve probably heard a thing or two about contouring. This popular face-sculpting trick uses different shades of makeup to give you an instant facelift. But did you know you could use lipstick to contour?
That’s right. It’s called lipstick draping. Draping is a contouring technique that people have been using for years; it typically involves using blush. However, people on TikTok have been kicking it up a notch by opting for red lipstick instead! Take a look:
