Pucker up and put some on!
Lipstick can be subtle, glamorous or flirty. It
adds the final touch to your day or evening
makeup.
Steps:
1. Choose a color that complements the
natural shade of your lips and skin tone. Plums,
wines and deep reds flatter a dark skin tone,
while light-brown beiges with pink or orange
undertones complement a lighter skin tone. Olive
skin looks good with browner reds, light browns
and raisin shades.
2. Keep colors lighter for daytime and
darker for night. Matte or cream finishes offer
a subtler daytime look, while a high-gloss
finish adds glamour for evening.
3. Experiment! Head to your local
department store and have a makeup artist test
different shades on your lips. Check in natural
light whenever possible to see how the color
really looks with your complexion.
4. Create your own shade by combining
colors. If you're not completely satisfied with
the shades you find, use a lip brush to mix your
own color.
5. Go for a lip liner that is a shade
darker than your lipstick color and in the same
color family.
Tips:
Try a colored gloss or lip tint for a sheer hint
of lip color.
Buy colors that look good on you - not the ones
that you think look good in the tube.
Deep or bold lip color complements light eye
makeup, while light or nude lipstick flatters
heavy eye makeup. |
