Lip Makeup

Lip make up should be in counterpoint with the face make up and your dress. A narrow, flat ended brush, a election of finely sharpened lip pencils, lipgloss and lipstick either the traditional tube lipstick or the cream type with a sponge-tip applicator. If your lip colour is spotty, then you will require a special lip base or balancer-use a lighter tone on the dark areas and a dark tone on the light areas.

For long lasting lip color, apply sheer layer of foundation on lips, dust powder on them and then color them. This also helps lipstick not to alters its color on dark lips. To create your lips look thicker, make the outline just outside your natural lip line while for thinner lip complexion, place the outline just inside the natural lip line.

Lipsticks can be glossy, dull, creamy or frost ones. Pick the one which suits you and do not make the skin on lip look dried and chipped.

For the specialist makeup artist, a top priority in working with lipstick goes to color intensity, durability, and capability for universal application. Layering your lip colour in the hope which it will remain longer does not make sense. Blotting your lips with a tissue and - even worse—powdering your lips between applications of supplemental layers will destroy the suppleness of the waxes in your lipstick.

Shining lip liner could be used for defining the matte lips. This looks very modish. Whenever applying lip liner always begin from the middle and then move towards the corner. The lipstick tends to smutch and smear very easily because of the creamy consistency. To avoid this, apply a layer of foundation on the lips prior applying lipstick.

Lip makeup tips:

Lipsticks can be glossy, matte, creamy or frost ones.
Select a lip liner close to lipstick color to define the shape of lips.
To make your lips look thicker, make the contour just outside your natural lip line while for thinner lip look, place the outline just inside the natural lip line.
To avoid lipstick on your teeth, after application, run your index finger through the middle of your lips and pull it back out.
In a pinch, your lipstick can double as blush.
Apply two coats of lipstick for longer stability. After the first coat, press the lips on a tissue paper and then apply the other coat.
