7 Essential Makeup For Lips

from makeup

You can find lipsticks, creams, and glosses nowadays in pretty much every different shade, texture, and packaging imaginable. Choosing one depends on your style and preference. I love them in neutrals, apricots, warm pinks, and deep reds.

Lip Bairn

Lip balm is a true must. Use it before any lip color application to create a smoother surface. Lip balm with SPF 15 is highly recommended.

Matte lipsticks

Matte lipsticks are usually more opaque and dry. They are great for both strong and minimalist looks. Mattes are used often in period styles, usually in redder tones. If you are looking to create a strong red lip, choose one with a matte texture. When coupled with a clean, natural eye the result is a strong look that didn't require too much makeup.

Cream lipsticks

Cream lipsticks are great for those who always have dry lips. They add moisture without also adding too much shine.

Sheer lipsticks

Sheer lipsticks are truly the choice for natural lip looks. Usually very creamy in texture, they are more transparent than cream lipsticks. You're less likely to have buyer's remorse with sheer lipsticks because your natural lip color will show through and look great.

Lip gloss

Lip gloss is truly the favorite of many ladies because it creates an instant sexy vibe. Whenever a look doesn't have enough kick, add lip gloss and the problem is immediately solved.

Dual lip pencil

This is a great product for women on the go or someone who doesn't have a lot of makeup bag space. One end of the pencil is a liner and the other end is a creamy lipstick. The ready-made combination is a plus for those who don't know which liner goes with which lipstick color. They come in so many colors now that you're bound to find one that's right for you. Lovely technology!

Lip liner

This is a multipurpose makeup tool. You can use it with lip balm to create a matte lip color and also to create the illusion of fuller or symmetrical lips. Mostgenerally prefer neutral lip liner in a slightly darker shade than your natural lip line even if it is used with darker lip colors. You can use a wider range of lipstick and lip gloss colors when you use a lip liner that is at least one or two shades darker than your natural lip color. However, it is recommended to often use a warm brown tone to warm up bright lip colors to make them more wearable. Lip liner is also a must to minimize bleeding.
