lips
RED
is definitely the sexiest
colour for lips. oh no..! i hear you scream...don't
panic, here's the ultimate guide to choosing and using red lippy..
a step-by-step guide to the perfect pout ....
red
lipstick comes in 100's of different shades. this makes life very
difficult because only one or two shades will suit one individual.
the best guide is if you have brown, hazel or green eyes you will
suit WARM reds. if you have blue or grey eyes, you will suit COOL
reds, although this may vary depending on you skin colour.
so how do you know which is which? warm reds have more orangy
or rust tones, whilst cool reds have more blue in them, like a
fuscia pink or a purple-red (see the table above).
always try to test the lipstick on your lips, ask the assistant
for a tester and then just run a cotton-bud over the lipstick
to apply.
when you have selected your lipstick, follow the steps below:
1.
always clean your teeth and moisturise your lips before you start
applying your lipstick. i use Carmex or Blistex.
2 when you apply your powder to seal your foundation, puff a little
over your lips.
3 draw a steady outline with your lip pencil to give yourself
an even lip shape.
4 fill-in your lips using the same pencil, this creates a very
strong base for your lipstick.
5 apply your lipstick in the manner you are used to, either from
the tube or with a lip-brush.
6 blot you lips firmly with a tissue. separate the tissue into single-ply
and press your powder-puff against your lips through the tissue.
re-apply lipstick and blot lightly again.
7 finally, put you index finger between your lips as if you were
sucking a lolly and you will remove any lipstick which would have
ended up on your teeth!
