Alot of times Divas are afraid of lipstick because they think it will be to bold, bright and obvious. But with these simple tips, your lipstick will make you look like a star!
- Every shade isn't for everyone. Try out a few different shade to see what color families match you best. If shopping at a drugstore that doesn't let you sample, pick a color you like and buy a shade brighter and a shade darker.
- Make sure your lips are properly moisturized before applying lipstick. If your lips are very dry, you can uses a grainy cleanser and a soft toothbrush to gently brush away dead skin.
- Use a lip liner. You apply before or after you apply your lipstick, but I like to do mines before. This makes your lipstick stay in place, and makes your lips look fuller. Your liner should be in the same shade family as your lipstick, match it as close as possible. NO black liner divas!!!!
- You can build your color by applying a color, blotting on a tissue, and reapplying the same or different color.
- Make sure you don't have any lipstick on your teeth!
- Blot any excess with a tissue.
- KISS Keep it simple sista!!!! I wouldn't ever recommend any crazy colors such as blues, greens ect. Leave these to models and clowns.
- KISS Keep it simple sista!!!! Don't play up both the eyes and mouth unless you know that you can really pull it off. If you have bold eyeshadow, use a soft or nude lipstick or gloss.
- There is no wrong or right way to apply lipstick. Its makeup, not rocket science!
- Do NOT apply your lipstick directly to your lips if you have a contagious condition such as a cold sore, virus, infection, ect. You may infect it! Instead use a q-tip or a lip brush.
- Do not let others apply your lipstick directly to their lips.
- Last but not least have fun and be beautiful!
