Tips for a perfect lips

/ Analucascardigos / 6 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

No makeup look is complete without lip colour, lip balm,Lipstick, lipgloss, lipliner, need to include lips in your skincare regime. Creat a perfect pout is actually pretty easy….

Tips

– if the lip stick is to bright – Mix a little foundation with Vaseline and smear this over the shade with your fingertip to mute it.

– if your lip gloss is too gooey, run an ice cube over your lips. It’ll keep the shine, and stop that sticky sensation.

– Dark, matte lipsticks sometimes stain the lips. If this happens, rub the lips with olive oil.

– Put foundation on your lips before applying lipstick, this will make your lipstick last longer.

– Use coconut oil on your lips. Coconut oil contains many nutrients , which are great for moisturizing.

Make your lips look bigger

Draw your liner along the outside of your lip line – but never lose contact with that line or things will look exceptionally artificial. Use a shimmer lip colour which makes lips look bigger or dab a little gold eyeshadow in the center of your lips and blend outwards.

You can apply lip gloss just on the tip of your lips, this will give your lipstick a natural shine. Bigger looking lips guaranteed!

My favourite lip glosses at the moment

/ Analucascardigos / 3 Comments

Hi everyone, welcome back

Here are the lip glosses I like the most at the moment. These look nice on their own or on top of a lipstick. All of them have different finishes and textures….

H&M Lip gloss Touch of pink   It is moisturizing, has a fruity scent, is very pigmented even if in just one coat.  It’s smooth, stays on pretty well, and have a discreet fragrance.

Christian Breton lip gloss   Sophisticated, sensational colour to give lips long-lasting shine. This product glides onto the lips and immediately adds glamour, shine and protection. The lips look and feel great with this gloss.

Victoria’s Secret color shine gloss  Smooth,feeling lightweight and comfortable, without being sticky or tacky at all. It has a medium consistency, not very thick or liquidy and doesn’t emphasizes lip lines.

PS… My perfect nude nourishing lip gloss  Very pretty nude lip lacquers/ glosses – with an intense shine and I love. Contains shea butter and vitamin E providing a luxuriously soft finish.

L’Oreal cream lip gloss 110   The formula is enriched with hyaluronic acid and shine colour pigments, leaving lips hydrated. Comfortable wear and absolutely no stickiness. Fabulous!

Hope you enjoyed this post, Thanks for reading xx

The 5 Minute Makeup Routine

Hi everyone, welcome back

Prepare your skin for makeup with a moisturizer. Apply concealer under the eyes . Set the concealer with a dab of translucent powder. To add color to your face, you can either use the tinted moisturizer at the very beginning or opt for blushes after you have applied the concealer. Tinted moisturizers with SPF are a great option if you will be spending a lot of time outside. Remember to apply the moisturizer right down to your neck line.

If you prefer adding a blush, choose soft, light shades like pale pink or peach. A bronzer may also give you the color you desire without making the final look very heavy and thick. Use the bronzer sparingly over your cheekbones to lend definition to your facial structure. Lightly brush along your hairline and chin too with the remaining bronzer/blush.

Cream blushes are also a good option for a quick makeup session. They look great on the cheeks and they can work as eye shadow too. Of course, for the latter, they have to be the right shade. Cream blushes have the perfect texture to give your face a bright, moisturized glow without appearing greasy.

 

 

 

The eyes come next. A shadow pencil is a good choice if you want to quickly define your eyes while giving the lids a hint of color too. Dark eye shadow highlights your eyes and draws attention to them instantly. Neutral shades add a subtle definition without actually making your eyes the focal point of your face. The challenge with dark shades is that minor flaws in the makeup will stand out quite visibly. Unless you are a pro with your eyeliner/eye pencil, you should opt for the safer neutral shades for a quick makeup session.

For those who prefer eyeliners, start with the inner corner of your eye, keep to the lash line and slightly thicken the line as you reach the outermost corner of your eye. Blend with a brush and apply your mascara. If you have an extra minute you can curl your lashes with an eyelash curler before the mascara goes on. Unless you want to make your makeup heavier, limit yourself to a single coat of mascara. A touch of white at the innermost corner gives your eyes a shimmer and makes them look bright.

To complete your look for the day, your lips need a swipe of gloss. Light, punchy shades keep you looking fresh and full of life. If you use a lip balm, then pick one with tint so that it can double up as your lip colour for your 5 minute makeup routine.
