Make Up Lesson - Lips

Attention to the lips enhances the overall beauty of your face. Experiment with different shades according to your mood and your outfit.

Unstructured Lips: This look doesn't use lipliner to define lips. The colour is applied in a sheer, stained and layered technique, the index fingertip works well to push the product into the lips. "Bitten"and "Sheer Tease" Lipstick are great for this.

Select the Lipstick or Lip Gloss colour family that suits you best and work within this framework, taking into account your features. If you look at the colour on the inside of your bottom lip, this is the best colour for a natural looking Lipstick orLip Lacquer shade.

Thin Lips: If you have thinner or smaller lips stick to lighter  Lipstick , Lip Lacquer or Lip Glaze shades (darker colours can reduce the size of the lips visually).

Full Lips: If you have fuller lips you have more choice, but light colours tend to make large lips appear huge. The most flattering Lipstick , Lip Lacquer or Lip Glaze is one that works with no make-up.

A good rule of thumb: strong lips, soft eyes or vice versa.

POUT PROTECTION

Lips are where words come from. They express lust, sadness and joy. Treat them well and they will reward you. Lip Gloss is a great way to keep lips moist, and having one in the bedside table, one in the handbag, on in the desk draw and one in the car is the best way to ensure that you always have one handy.

The skin on your lips is very vulnerable to weather and exposure to the elements, so keep them moisturised and protected.
