InStyle's editorial guidelines Published on April 29, 2012 Pin Share Tweet Email Photo: Slaven Vlasic/Getty Images At a brunch during the Tribeca Film Festival in New York City, Camilla Belle wore an understated nude lip. We love how the barely-there shade maintained a matte finish without making her lips look parched. The key to the perfect matte pucker is all in the prep. Exfoliate your lips and apply an ultra-hydrating balm before layering on your lipstick. And remember, not all lipsticks are created equal. Look for a soft, creamy matte that is easy to apply and easy on your lips. When it’s time to reapply, take everything off and start over so the product doesn’t get cakey.
