Lipstick

Hello again and welcome back to my blog! This post is all about lips. In this post, I will tell you everything there is to know about looking flawless wearing lipstick.



Before applying your lipstick you want to make sure that your lips are well exfoliated and moisturized to avoid creases and clumps in your lipstick.
Firstly, you do not want to play up both your eyes and your lips; you have to choose. If you wear both heavy eyes and lips you will look like a clown. If you wear a bright lip color, keep your eyes neutral and vice versa.

There isn’t any rule to applying lipstick. You can apply it with a lip brush, straight from the tube or with your fingers. As long as the color goes onto your lips, you’re good.

When wearing lipstick, you obviously want it to last as long as possible. For it to stay all day, a trick is to use lip liner as a base. Line your lips and then fill them in. Apply your lipstick overtop and it will last much longer than it would on its own.

If you want to make your lips appear fuller or “plump”, outline your lips with a lip liner just outside your natural lip line. Then dab a little bit of gloss in the middle of your bottom lip. This will give you full plump Angelina Jolie like lips.
When applying lipstick, you would normally apply a lip liner before or after. It is most commonly applied before lipstick but some people apply it afterwards to clean up the edges. But a little tip for you, your lips will look more natural when you apply lip liner after your lipstick. But one ultimate rule is to never wear dark lip liner with a lighter color lipstick. This is a big mistake and you will look tacky and quite frankly, like a clown.

It is always horrible when you get lipstick on your teeth. But don’t worry, I have a trick. Put your index finger in your mouth then pull it out. The excess lipstick that would have gone on your teeth is now on your finger.

If you have yellower teeth, try a lipstick with blue undertones. This will cancel out the yellowness in your teeth using complementary colors.

Now all there is left to do is go out and buy the perfect lipstick for you! :)
