How to wear bright lips

ADVERTISEMENTS

Bright, vivid colours on the lips should not simply be an uber glamorous memory from the bygone festive season. More than anything, it is the key to giving you get a head start on one of biggest trends for Spring Summer 2011. Yes that’s right, if you didn’t know, you know now. The colour palette this spring is beyond kaleidoscopic.

While you don’t necessarily have to take the route of acid green lips as seen at Alexandre Hercovitch, it is understandable that even wearing attention-drawing bright fuchsias and pillar box reds on your lips still takes a certain level of confidence. Well, it’s actually not as difficult as you think. Pablo Rodriguez, senior make up maestro at MAC cosmetics – the ultimate purveyors of shades that encompass the entire spectrum of the rainbow – has some tips to ensure that when you do go loud with your colours, you can also pout proud.
Gloss is very high maintenance. If you don’t want to keep re-applying every 2 minutes then go for matte or sheer coverage. Gloss does look amazing but it is highly impractical.

A lip primer gives the lips a silky smooth texture which ensures your lips stay put all day.

Bright colours are a great way to make thin lips look fuller.

Avoid looking like a throwback from the 80’s and don’t wear a strong colour on the lips if you are going to go bold on the eyes and cheeks.

However, if you are feeling confident and want to work bold eyes with bright lips, the key is to keep the skin looking fresh. Avoid a heavy foundation and instead go for a tinted moisturiser. If you need extra coverage, put on some concealer. This look is all about minimal meeting dramatic. Modern make up should convey the concept of low maintenance.

Finally, EXPERIMENT because make-up is all about breaking the rules!

Apply make up in 10 easy step

ADVERTISEMENTS

Put your best face forward armed with beauty secrets from cosmetics industry pros. These 10 simple makeup tips are sure to speed up your daily routine with head-turning gorgeous results.

 Things You'll Need:

• Foundation
• Mascara
• Eye Shadow Brushes
• Blush Brush
• Face Powder
• Blush
• Waterproof Mascaras
• Lipstick
• Lip Gloss
• Eye Shadow

Instructions

1. Apply a concealer that is one shade lighter than your foundation. Dot it on over any blemishes or under-eye circles and blend with your fingertips or a makeup sponge. If your concealer tends to cake, apply eye cream first.


2. Choose foundation that matches your skin tone exactly. Apply it in dots over the central part of your face, then blend it out with a makeup sponge or your fingertips until it covers your entire face


3. Use a loose or pressed powder to keep foundation and concealer on longer. Use pressed powder to touch up when you're away from home.


4. Do your eyebrows next. Use powdered eyebrow shadow on brows instead of pencil, which can often look unnatural. Apply it with a hard, slanted brush.


5. Choose three colors of eye shadow: light, medium and dark. Use the dark only to line your upper eyelid, in a fairly thin line along the upper lashes. Use the medium shade for the crease and the lightest shade for the area under the eyebrow. There are many variations on eye shadow application techniques.


6. Apply eyeliner. Use a cake eyeliner with a damp, thin liner brush, or an eyeliner pencil, and line the lower lid below the lashes. Line only the outer two-thirds of the lower lid, or all the way across if you're trying to achieve a darker look. Line all the way across the upper lid (just above the lash line and as close to the lashes as possible), or start the line where your lashes begin.


7. Apply mascara to upper and lower lashes, in two thin coats to avoid clumpiness. Choose brown mascara if your coloring is fair; black or brown-black works well for darker coloring. Or try a colored mascara such as navy or plum for fun, but don't go too bright if you want to be taken seriously


8. Smile to find the apples of your cheeks, and apply blush to the apples or below, whichever you prefer. If you have to blend in blush, it's too bright.


9. Choose a lipstick color that's suited to your skin tone and that's perfect for your day look. You can mix colors and textures to suit your moods and your outfits


10. Line lips after applying lipstick, not before. That way you won't end up with a dark circle of lip liner after your lipstick has worn off. Avoid combining very dark lip liner and pale lipstick.

How To Apply Lip Gloss

ADVERTISEMENTS

If you’re just learning how to apply beauty products and cosmetics,lip gloss is an ideal product to begin with. It’s easier to apply than lipstick, and choosing a shade is much, much easier with lip gloss. With lipstick, it is very easy to inadvertently choose a shade that clashes with your skin tone, your eye makeup, or your outfit. Since lip gloss is almost always sheer, reflective or iridescent, you can easily find a shade that will compliment your coloring and still make your lips stand out. Plus, learning how to apply lip gloss is a snap. My favorites include MAC and DIOR lip gloss.

HERE'S HOW :

Step 1: Start with conditioned lips. The key to applying lip gloss (and lipstick too for that matter) is to start with smooth, conditioned lips. As a general rule, you should apply Vaseline, a lip balm or a moisturizing Chapstick to your lips before bedtime each night to help maintain soft, smooth lips. Protecting your lips by using products with SPF is key since sun exposure leads to dry, chapped lips.

Step 2: When your lips are conditioned and moisturized, if needed, use a toothbrush or a cotton swab to gently brush off any excess dry skin that can make your lips look rough. When you are more consistent with keeping your lips conditioned, you won’t need to do this step much at all. Your lips will stay smooth and soft if you continually protect and care for them.

Step 3: You may want to apply lip liner before you apply lip gloss. You can use lip liner first, or simply skip this step, depending on what kind of look you are going for. Lip liner will help keep a little color on your lips in between the times you touch up your gloss. It can also help add definition to your lips, help make them look a little fuller, or even out any flaws. When using a gloss on top, you should choose a soft, neutral shade or one that is very close to your natural lip color. You don’t want the liner to be obvious since your lip gloss will likely be somewhat sheer and will require reapplication from time to time.

Step 4: Apply the gloss. Glide the color over your lips. Depending on the brand of lip gloss you’re using, the container will most likely either be a squeezable tube or a tube containing a brush or sponge tip attached to the container’s lid. If your gloss is in a squeezable tube, simply apply it by placing a bit of gloss on your forefinger and gently swiping the gloss across your lips. If your container has a brush or sponge tip, simply pull the lid out of the tube and sweep the brush or sponge tip across your lips. Be careful not to start with too much gloss. You can always add a little more, but if you start with too much at first, it can end up looking goopy and messy.

Step 5: Use a q-tip, cotton swab, or your finger to wipe off any gloss that may have gone outside the edge of your lip line.

Step 6: Lastly, be sure to bring your gloss with you in your bag. It does come off easier than other lip products and will need to be reapplied or touched up every so often.


This is the right way to apply Lip Gloss and protect your lips.. So start taking care of your lips today !

The other should be played down a bit. If your lips are the main attraction, it is essential you get the color right and keep your application precise. If the eyes are the focal point of a look, you’ll still want to know which neutral or matte lipstick or lip gloss shades will compliment your skin tone. You’ll need to know how to make your lips look kissable with a different shades and products for a variety of makeup looks.
