In today’s world, almost everyone is concerned about how they look. However, looking great doesn’t have to take too much of your time or effort. The most important thing is that you know what you’re doing. Here’s how to wear bright, bold, or even neon lip colors for summer!
Tips To Remember When Applying Eye and Lip Color
- The amount and type of makeup that you wear is completely up to you. You know your face better than anyone, so take the time to experiment. Makeup is, quite literally, the art of painting faces. Experimenting allows you to find what works best for you.
- Focus on one part, or two at most, of your face. Don’t use a bold hue of lipstick with stand-out eyeliner and a bright shade of blush. Instead, zero in on the eyes and lips, or blush/skin. Keep it simple. Don’t over-do your makeup applications.
- Apply lip balm, primer, or sealer. This will help make all lip products applied last longer and much more vibrant.
- Line your lips with a liner that matches your lip color. Make sure your lip liner pencil is sharpened, but not too sharp. Line around the natural line of your lips. Trying to create a fuller lip by dragging the lip pencil outside your lip line is for professionals. Usually it makes you look like you’re just plain bad at applying makeup. After applying your lip pencil to your lip line, rub your lips together so the lip pencil color spreads inside your lips.
- Apply lipstick or lip gloss with a brush. It will spread it evenly. It’s a good idea to brush your lip brush in your lipstick, then some of your lip gloss for a nice light shine. Blot your freshly painted lips lightly with a tissue. This will make it last longer.
- Lipstick and lip gloss are very different. Keep this in mind when you apply them. Lipstick adds color to your lips while lip gloss just makes your lips shiny and sometimes sparkly.
- Wearing lighter colors makes it easier to avoid over-application.
- For the best results, apply your makeup with good, natural lighting.
