Lip Makeup Tutorial

Nothing can brighten a day like a beautiful smile. And your lips are the perfect frame for that masterpiece. Second only to eye makeup, I think this is the most important part. So great care should be made in choosing and applying makeup to your lips. This is the final building block of a wonderful makeover, so be sure to end it with a bang!

First, think about your skin color. You need to select colors that accentuate your skin color. If you are pale, try sticking with some nice shimmering lip gloss of a peach color. This will help accentuate your natural skin color, not take away from it. You may want to be bold and go with a red. However, not all shades of red look good on everyone. Try out different shades. Ask friends how they look.

To begin with, you should start with a lip liner. Choose a color close to your lipstick. Then start slow and lightly at the center of the upper lip moving to the corner. Do this on both sides. Then pick a side for the lower lip and trace a line to the other.

Now, start with a lip brush and fill in the area of the lips inside the liner. Don’t apply too much at once. You can add more easily if needed. complete this step by blotting. To do this, get a clean tissue and press your lips firmly together. This will remove excess and will help seal the remaining to last longer.

Finally, add that lip gloss for the finally act. This will bring it together quite nicely! The reason for using lip gloss is it will give a more healthy and fuller look. However, if you have very full lips use it sparingly. In more casual settings you can use lip gloss alone.

With you lips completed, you are ready to rock the world!
