Make Your Pick:
Lip colours come in different finishes. Choose the one that suits you
perfect!
Matte Finish:
It is the most
lasting formulation, it is nor shiny and gives a flat coverage.
Creamy Look:
It looks best when first applied. It gives the most even coverage.
Stain:
This usually contains
moisturizing ingredients and gives only a hint of colour. It easily wears off and is most likely
to have added sunscreen.
Lip Fix
The greasier the lipstick, the more it will bleed.
Use a lip liner as lipstick to give a matte finish.
Lip glosses impart lots of shine and translucent colour.
Define the shape or your lips with a lip brush or lip pencil that matches
your
lipstick.
First blot, then reapply lipstick for longer lasting colour, Brown shades
need more oil, so they are greasier than reds.
Blotting removes some of
the shine, so it gives a
stained look that women prefer.
Lip Tips
These tips can be wonders
to update your look!
Use a neutral lip pencil rather than one that matches your lip colour.
Apply lip pencil in dots around the lip, then play 'connect the dots', following
the natural lip line.
For a softer lip colour, blend moisturizer into the lipstick.
To change the colour of any lipstick, apply yellow eye shadow on the lips
as a primer. This will warm up any
colour.
Blend lip liner and lipstick together on the back of the hand for a longer
lasting look.
If your lipstick tends to 'bleed', apply lipstick first, then line it over to set.
Create your own lip colours by mixing and matching.
