When it comes to makeup cosmetic world lips are always important and every girl loves lipstick! Let's check out hot lip color looks for this season.
Nude: Pick a nude shade that complements your skin tone and give your cheeks a touch of blush. You can try out nude makeup with a simple lip balm, concealer and a lip-gloss as well. Use a lip exfoliater before you try this look to make your lips smooth. Then gently apply a little lip balm on your lips and add a light layer of the concealer over this. Use a lip brush for the application. Avoid dabbing too much concealer as your lips may end up looking muddy. Top this off with a fresh layer of lip-gloss for a basic and luscious nude lip look. To make your lips appear fuller, apply gold or silver lip-gloss on the lower lip. Another option is to use a high shine, shimmery lip-gloss. For truly gorgeous lips, you can also use a lip brush and dab it into the lipstick. Apply this on your lips and blot with a tissue. Reapply it altogether. This trick can help you keep the color on for a longer time. If you can't do without a lip liner, just make sure you match it with your lip color. But, remember that browns or darker shades are a huge no no with nude lips! Check out the Nude look on Rihanna, she looks amazing.
A true pink lip: Sometimes a bold, bright pink lip is the only way to go. Pair any of these dramatic lips with thick black cat eyeliner and some false lashes for a show-stopping look. Even in pink you can choose many shades according to season and time. Sometimes a bold, bright pink lip is the only way to go. Maybe a bold pink lip isn't your kind; think about rose shades for a more conservative spin. Perhaps you're thinking about wearing something cool on your eyes. How about cool pinks!
A natural berry-stained lip:
If you are looking for natural makeup go for berry stained lip look.
The color is natural and not to overwhelming. If you've
always avoided red lipstick because it feels too severe, try a
natural-looking wash of color that won't rub off on your teeth. To
make the look stay-put, apply balm once the stain sets in to
bare
lips.
A dark vampy lip: They're full of super dark, seductive colors, which look stunning on models and celebrities but can the average Beauty Maven pull the look off? Define your lips with a deep black cherry shade. Loosely line your lips and fill them in with the pencil to create a long lasting base color. Top it with a sheer black cherry glossy shade to complete the whole lip look nicely. Finish with bronzer on your cheeks - the last thing you want with dark lips is pale skin.
A sexy red lip look: Wouldn't you like to have luscious, kissable red lips? A lot of women are afraid of painting their lips a bright, vivid red for various reasons, but mostly because they are not sure if they can wear red well. But contrary to what a lot of women think, it is not that hard to put bright red lips on effectively and make it work for you. It is a matter of knowing how and what you should keep in mind when you do. First, you should pick a shade of red that suits the color of your skin. Take note that the paler your skin tone is, the bigger the red lipstick will make your lips look. If your skin has a pinkish tone, you should opt for plum reds. On the other hand, if you have yellowish tones on your skin, a red lipstick that looks warm and with a brown base would flatter your skin more. Red lipstick also makes the lips seem bigger, pouting and more prominent. This is good for women with thin lips; a good red lipstick will add volume to their lips.
Black lipstick: Wearing black lipstick is like an art form that few have perfected. When abused, it can be really easy to look really tacky. It looks really good on people with fair skin and dark hair if it is slightly tinted with red. A common mistake people make with it is putting it on straight from the tube which makes it look smudgy and too thick, pretty much because it is. If you are going to wear black lipstick, apply it with a lip brush, for all of our sakes.
Raspberry lipstick: Well, it's a trend that continues to make its presence known! The latest gal to sport the look, Alyssa Milano, was totally rocking the shade at the Children Mending Hearts Gala at the House of Blues on February 18. She is looking lovely with her orangey-red dress and simple half-updo with side swept bang. Raspberry lipstick not only does it provide an instant pop of fancy-looking color but it perks up your complexion and somehow reflects light back up in a mystical way that makes your eyes glow.
Some tips how to lighten and maintain your lip color:
Brush your lips daily with a soft toothbrush to ensure that the excess dead skin is slough off and you will be left with clear and smoother base for lipstick/lip gloss application.
Always use lipstick/lip gloss that has a spf as exposure to the sun can also darken your lips.
Spread honey on your lips and sleep with it and in the morning wash it off with lemon juice.
Always remove your lipstick because accumulation of old makeup on the lips can actually darken them.
Always moisturize your lips before you go to sleep, if you do not moisturize your lips at night, you will always wake up with swollen, cracked and bleeding lips.
How to apply Lipstick:
Apply all other makeup before putting on lipstick and lip liner.
Begin by dabbing on a very small amount of lip balm or petroleum jelly to give your lips a little moisture.
Draw a thin line along the edge of your lips with a lip liner whose color is one shade darker than 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.
Apply lipstick from the tube or by using a firm, small lipstick brush. Coat the lips evenly. Pay special attention to staying within the lips' edges.
Blot to remove any excess color and to even out the texture.
Remember to touch lips up after a meal, as lipstick easily transfers
onto coffee cups or water bottles.You can now but the lipsticks that
are meant to stay on for the whole day, but for me they make my lips
dry.
