Makeup for Sexy Lips
Hello and welcome,
In this issue I’ll be giving you advice on how to choose the best products for lips everyone will envy.
Depending on how you make them up, they can be exotic, provocative or romantic. As we all know, having healthy lips requires a certain amount of care.
PREPARED FOR SUCCESS
It’s important you prepare lips before making them up. You can use a moisturizing and protecting balsam, which contain elements that do not only do this, but smooth over the wrinkles, leaving the lips ready to be made up. You can also use a lip exfoliating cream, such as Yves Saint Laurent’s Baume Nourrissant. They moisturize and contain small sugar particles that remove through friction the small bits of skin that make lips look unhealthy and make applying makeup more difficult.
A GOOD TRICK
You can apply foundation over the lips or face powder to make lipstick last longer.
There are several lipstick textures, each of them offering different results and duration: lipsticks, lipgloss, and permanent sticks.
LIPLINER
You should try to pick a lipliner that is close in color to the tone of the lips or the lipstick or gloss chosen. You should use the lipliner to outline the lips, always keeping to the natural shape and correcting where necessary by blurring with a brush or the fingertips towards the center of the lips and filling the center with lipliner.
Now that you know the first steps you need to take, we’ll look at how to choose the right texture for your lips.
THE ORIGIN OF LIPSTICK
Ever since its invention, lipstick has been one of the best options for making lips up. Throughout time, its texture has improved, through a combination with other elements than add shine. Many of them also contain SPF sunscreen and a protection again UVA rays.
We can also find matt lipsticks. These are a bit more difficult to apply, since they don’t run as smoothly over the lip. However, they also last longer, due to their ability to stick to the lip. Liquid lipstick combines lipstick and gloss. It is easy to apply and lasts as long as lipstick. Touche Brillance by Yves Saint Laurent is a good option.
LIPGLOSSES AND THEIR TEXTURES
Gloss texture is best for those of you who don’t like to wear a lot of make up on your lips. Since they have shine as their base they do not add much color to the lips, but moisturize them and give them a shiny look.
Permanent bars are excellent for those of you who have no time to touch up. It’s important to apply them well, since after a short while they are difficult to correct. Most of them are matt. There are some permanent lipsticks that combine liquid lipstick and gloss. You should apply the color first and then the gloss, which will eliminate the matt appearance. We recommend Pro Longwear Lipcolour by MAC.
Depending on what product you choose for your lips, it’s good to stay up to date with the latest colors and trends.
I hope my advice has been useful in showing you how to make lips up. Remember exfoliation and moisturizing and key to good results.
