There’s nothing worse than finding your lip gloss has faded almost as soon as you’ve applied it. Who has the time to worry of the state of ones lip gloss? The problem is that some of those long lasting brands dry your lips and leave you feeling you make up has been shellacked to your face.
The best lip looks rely on knowing the best colors for your skin. Use these lip tips to keep your makeup beautiful and your lips smooth and soft.
It's not hard to choose lipstick colors once you know one simple fact. All you need to know is whether your skin tones are "warm" or "cool". It's not about how dark or light you are, or even about your hair or eye color, but what the undertone of your skin is—is it bluish (cool) or yellowish (warm)? Everyone is either warm or cool and it's all about your facial coloring: blondes, brunettes and redheads can be either one.
Want to achieve a luscious pout? Add fullness to the bottom lip with a lip pencil two shades lighter than the one you use on your upper lip.
You can't buy lip gloss from a drugstore—unless you want a sticky, slimy mess, perhaps adorned with little bits of sharp glitter and a heavy bubble-gum scent. Lip gloss should add subtle shine and color. The best long lasting lip glosses do more than shine you up: they add essential organic oils like tangerine, clove, peppermint, lavender, vanilla, grapefruit and rose. Essential oils not only add health to your lips: their natural scents create instant aromatherapy when applied to the lips. Vanilla and peppermint have been shown to increase happy feelings; grapefruit and tangerine give you a boost of energy; rose and lavender are perfect for calming and soothing stressed nerves. Lip gloss with essential oils that does more than make your mouth look fantastic: it makes you feel fabulous also!
