Lipgloss and
lipstick can make your lips look fuller, glossier and better! They
can add volume to your lips and make them appear bigger if you have
thin lips. Below are some tips and tricks & steps to applying
lipgloss or lipstick.
Choose
the Perfect Lip Product for You
Do you want it to be shimmery, clear, coloured,
flavoured or sheer? There are many different kinds out there, so go
shopping and take a look at whats available.
Lipstick is usually has a more opaque, thicker
consistency than lipgloss.
Lip gloss is usually transparent, or with a hint of
color. They can be used as an additional layer over the lipstick for
additional shine.
Lip balms are usually transparent, and are designed to
protect the lips from sun and wind, and often to soothe chapped lips
and cold sores.
Some categories may overlap: You can find lipsticks
with SPF protection, lip gloss that is very thick, for instance.
When
Shopping, Sample the Lip Products
Sometimes samples are available to comparison-shop.
You put these on your hand, never your own lips.
Choose
a lipstick colour
Find the perfect shade for you by experimenting with
different colours.
Start with a subtle color, something a few shades
darker than your lip color.
Avoid 'bright
red at first; a newbie mistake is going straight
for the loudest red you can find to announce: "I'm wearing
lipstick!". Even if you do look great in that color, any
mistake, imperfection, or smudge will stand out.
Decide
Whether you are Going to Wear lipliner
Today's lipsticks are better formulated than those of
the past. For a beginner, it's usually an unnecessary step. If you
do, it should be neutral or match the colour of your lipstick.
To Apply Lip Liner - Draw a
thin line along the edge of your lips with a lip liner whose color
is a shade similar to your lipstick. Start at the center of
the upper lip and work outward. Hug the very outer edges to open up
thin lips, and line well within the edges to downplay excessively
full lips.
To Apply the Lipstick
- Stretch the lips and start at the center, putting on the
lipstick to the corners. Blot the lipstick with a tissue. Make sure
the lipstick has not smudged over the line of your lips.
If you Wish to Apply Lipgloss - Either apply it all over your lips, or just apply it
in the centre of each lip and rub your lips together to apply an
even, thin coat.
Remember to touch lips up after a meal, as lipstick
easily transfers onto coffee cups, water bottles and softdrink
cans.
TIPS
- Keep
the look subtle. The first thing a person should notice about
your look is you, not your makeup. Don't overdo the cosmetics.
- Any
woman can wear red lipstick--just be sure it is a red that suits
you. Once you venture to the lipstick counter, you'll discover
there are a huge varieties of reds, with varying brightness and
tints of purple, gold, brown, and so on. One will do for you.
- When
you apply lipbalm on the final step, make sure it is clear. You
can also by balm with SPF protection if you are going out in the
sun.
- Creamy
lipsticks help protect your lips from drying out, and many have
ingredients that keep your lips soft and help prevent the
affects of weather.
