Lip Color Tips

Lip Color Tips

What lip color is right for you?

Your lips are where you can really play with color. The best way to find the right color for you is to try it on. But here are a few guidelines to help you make your choice:

If you have dark skin you can use: Plums, browns, reds, pastels and oranges. If you have a medium skin tone, all shades of red are for you. Mauve, berry or spicy brown will also look great...

If you have pale skin, stick to beige tones, light corals and light pinks.

Lipstick tips you will surely love …

- Store lipstick in the refrigerator. It lasts longer.
- Never use a tester on your lips -- it's unhygienic. Test lipstick on your fingertips , their color is closest to your lips.
- If you want your lipstick to last, use pencil first as a base. Outline and color in your lips with pencil and apply your lipstick on top.
- Your lips will also look softer if you don't use lipliners.
- To avoid lipstick on your teeth, after application, run your index finger through the middle of your lips and pull it back out. The excess will come off on your finger.
- If your lipstick shade turns out to be brighter than you thought it would be, color in your lips with a pencil darker than your lipstick and apply the lipstick on top. Or coat the lipstick with a darker lip gloss, which will look great.

    Girls if you have:

    Big Lips : Use dark colors like purple, brown, and red to make them appear smaller. Use matte lipstick.

    Small Lips : Use light colors like pink and orange to make them appear bigger. Add lipgloss for even poutier lips.

    Peace

    Hello ladies,

    i'm a beauty comsultant for a big make up company in europe, and the best makes of lipstick are;
    maxfactor
    loreal
    and maybelline.

    ladies with naturally coloured lips (lucky ladies) should outline their lips with a lip pencil similar to their natural colour, then apply a thin coating of a glossy lipgloss try maxfactors silk lipgloss or loreal's juicy tubes.

    If you are one of those ladies that dont suit lipstick, stick with the coloured lipgloss it gives just the same effect.

    NEVER APPLY MASCARA ON YOUR LOWER LASHES!! AND NEVER NEVER NEVER USE LASH CURLERS (HEATED OR METAL) just think of it like this, your eyelashes are very delicate like a piece of paper, and if you keep creasing them and creasing them day in day out, eventually they will rip.

    quick solution for powder eyeshadow that just wont last - dab a little amount of water onto the palette of eyeshadow and them apply it to your eyes - watch how it stays on for at least 7 -10 hours! amazing!

    sorry, i forgot to mention there is a make up company called 'sonya' from the forever living products range.

    this make up is made from the aloe vera gel, which has proven to be very healthy for skin. Cleopatra used it in the egyptian era.

    this range of make up suits people with sensitive skin and people who just find ordinary make up too heavy and harsh on the skin!

    check out the website: www.foreverlivingproducts.com
