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!

Thanks for reading xx

BASIC LIPSTICK APPLICATION 

  1. Apply Vaseline, then use a soft toothbrush to remove dead skin cells, brushing gently.
  2. Apply your foundation as you normally would, making sure you lightly cover your lips too.
  3. Apply the liner that, matches either your lips or your lipstick exactly.
  4. Apply your lipstick with a lip brush, blending from the middle down to the corners of the mouth.
  5. Bolt with tissue. Now replay another coat of your lip colour, blot again and add lip gloss if required.

TOP 5 TIPS FOR LIPS 

  • If you decide a lipstick is too bright for you once you’ve got it on, but scrubbing it off will ruin your foundation, mix a bit foundation with Vaseline and smear this over the shade with your fingertip to mute it.
  • Dark, Matt lipsticks sometimes stain the lips. If this happens, rub the lips with olive oil.
  • Light shades , particularly shimmery or frosted ones , will make lips look bigger.
  • Using sheer lipsticks and lip stains is an ideal way for the nervous to branch out into deep shades like plums, raisins and reds.
  • If your lip gloss is too gooey, run an ice cube over your lips. it’ll keep the shine, but stop that sticky sensation.
