Lipstick

This fall, lipstick has regained its status as a must-have cosmetic! It’s making a comeback with an array of gorgeous colours:
  • bright red,
  • caramel,
  • plum,
  • fuchsia and
  • more.

As the temperature starts to drop, applying lipstick is as cozy and comforting as wrapping ourselves in the warmth of a favourite blanket.

Here are the products you’ll need for impeccable lips:

Balance – the key to beautiful makeup

First, here’s the golden rule in makeup: emphasize either the eyes or the lips, never both!

So with discreet eye makeup, lips can be vibrant and richly coloured. But, if you decide to play up your eyes, you’ll need to tone down your lip colour.

Plump lips

Step 1 – Foundation

Applying a dab of foundation over lips will camouflage the natural lip line and extend the hold of lipstick.

Step 2 – Lip liner

Choose a shade slightly darker than your lipstick. To minimize lip volume, apply the liner just inside the lip line.

Step 3 – Lipstick

When it comes to the choice of a lip colour, remember this rule of thumb – darker tones make lips look smaller, while lighter ones make them look fuller. For maximum hold, always apply lipstick with a brush.

Thin lips

Step 1 – Lip base

To moisturize and smooth lips and boost the hold of lipstick, lip base is a must. It can also be used as an overnight treatment.

Step 2 – Lip liner

To give thin lips more volume, apply lip liner just outside the natural contour of the lips. Here’s the technique: smile; then, starting from the centre, work your way towards the corners.

Step 3 – Lipstick

Apply a shade that’s not too dark, being sure to blend the lip colour with the lip liner. It’s that easy!

With these few tricks, you’ll have movie star lips in a flash!
